The beat has a very well worked dubby sound that suits the MCs performing on it and is well layered.

The MCs are all clearly schooled through the battle rap scene and work local references well into the track and are happy embrace where they are from and who they are without striving to go too far.

While the harmonies of the chorus are not the best I have heard that adds a certain charm.

8 point(s) for Performance
Clear, entertaining, amusing well planned and well executed with a great sense of self awareness.

There is a certain courage in using phrases like "I seriously doubt it" that show that they are happy in thier own skin.

All I hope is that Dialect can develop beyond the battle lyrics that suit this subject.

6 point(s) for Capture
Production and mixing are all perfectly suited to the track. Exploring the well established links the UK has between rap and reggae.

The scratch segment at the end is a little messy and distracting from what is otherwise a perfectly accomplished job.

As long as Dialect continue in the same vein and develop their obvious skills and lyrical content then there is definitely a gap in the market for something like this.

some good vocals here - i'd want to hear this rapped faster, just to prove he can do it!

8 point(s) for Performance
quite catchy melodies that listeners catch latch on to..

bit samey throughout, can feel a bit dreary.

needs a final mix down

it may be worth making a bit more of the chorus, or bringing in different section, just to give it a bit of variation

6 point(s) for Performance
raps and delivery is good.

dude's been listening to eminem..

singing is nice.

he's talikin some raw shit, but i can't help feeling he could have a bit more swagger, relax a bit with the pronounciation, sound a bit harder without trying too..

7 point(s) for Capture
