From the spoken word intro, UK-based rapper Kristi B (known to his mum as Benson Jimi Adelegan) gets straight in your face with a torrent of words. There seems to be a huge scene of hip-hop and grime artists emerging from London and Kristi B is just one of many based in the capital to be releasing new music in 2008. The seven songs are loosely connected with a love theme though it is the single "Power Of Love" which is the standout track featuring a fantastic sung hook and some fine rapping from Kristi B and Guvna B (no relation!). There's also a gospel house remix of the track. "Amazing Love" features a guest vocal from Carmen who also contributes to the excellent "Do U Know Wat Love Is". Ultimately this is a good introduction to a new talent and no doubt, there'll be more in 2009! Some of the other tracks make less of an impact but it certainly is a fine start.
