The Guardian called the album \u003cem\u003e\"A stunning literary treatise,”\u003c\/em\u003e whilst Mojo said this \u003cem\u003e\"debut is one of the most unique, startling and powerful you'll hear.” \u003c\/em\u003e A narrative hip hop album -a modern-day London fable- that is enhanced and subverted by \u003cstrong\u003eDan Carey's\u003c\/strong\u003e sculpted production.
