For his first full-length solo release 'Multiple Mind States' - Slippy Skills delivers a well-honed hybridised style of home-grown Hip Hop sprinkled with Drum & Bass influences that span 16 diverse tracks, packed to the brim with razor-sharp, witty penmanship, machine-gun delivery and content as eclectic as the title suggests. The album is one of the most original, refreshing and energisied you will hear from a UK artist in 2021.
Monumental release from the Revorg camp - 'Culture' sees producer Sam Krats enlist legends from both sides of the Atlantic to detail their journey in Hip Hop over a monstrous track with some razor sharp cuts by Jazz T.

Also features a fantastic reworking by Beatminerz on the B side.

'Fu, Queue' is a hilarious amalgamation of foul mouthed Northern dialect, a massive dose of satire and sprinklings of the world-renowned Northern charm and wit that features a bunch of dope artists spanning the length and breadth of the UK.
His style and content is often unorthodox, his skill, passion and dedication to the art is undeniable which leaves the listener thoroughly entertained and wanting more.
