Anyone like this guy? or Album. Heard London City at the start of the year when he was on BBC Sound Poll, and then forgot about him until his album come out recently.

Its a rap/grime and very adult, usually people like this aint any good, but this album really grabs at you, its so hard hitting and very very catchy at the samer time.

Anyone heard it?

My Faves are London City, End of Days,Brainwashed, Days and Nights, Comminity Outcast, Runaway ft. Yasmin, Our Father and Finally. All in all a brill album, check it out, even if you aint into that type of music.

Was hesitant at first, but I went ahead and downloaded it from iTunes upon release; and love it.

"Runaway" is a nice introduction to Devlin, I thought; but listening through the album, it's far from the best track. "London City" and "Community Outcast" are both old songs from Devlin and as such evoke something through the powerful lyrics.

Highlights for me where "Marching Through the Fog", "Our Father", but most of all "Let It Go (feat. Labrinth)", which is just beyond anything I've ever heard before.

He's made videos for M.T.T.F. and L.I.G. already, the first already circulating music channels; so I'm uncertain which is the next single; hopefully both will be at some point.

I've read Let it Go is the next single but that was on Wikipedia so ya never know haha.

I know Communtity Outcast is a brill even though its one of those songs, very powerful indeedy and drags you in, plus there's a video for it, a very cheaply made one though...

I love the hook on Runaway and Devlin's lyrics, but for some reason I just really don't like his 'style' of rapping. Don't know what it is, but it just really gets on my nerves. Its the same in his verse in 'Game Over' just sounds like hes trying to shove a million words in one sentence lol.
