Description
On The Rotton Club, unsurprisingly, there are themes and concepts in abundance.
G.C.S.E, the first single, is Tony’s attempt at filling in the gaps in sex education classes, to show his teenage listeners what they’re risking by unsafe sexual practices, using illustrations and examples definitely not to be found on the secondary curriculum.
Roadworks and Travellin’ talk about his experiences round the globe and are delivered with his trademark conceptual complexity.
My World uses samples from Tony’s appearance in early 2003 on UK national breakfast TV, where he found himself defending rap music from government ministers looking to scapegoat the music for violence endemic in parts of society starved of investment and deprived of hope.
There are love songs (My Lady), battle-hardened tracks (Beef Stop) and some superb examples of plain, old-fashioned rap show-off sessions (Lions Roam).
In short, it’s Blak Twang, but more so: the sounds, stories, styles and skills turned up to the max.
