You may not have heard of Aspex yet, but you will soon. There’s alot of cats doing the hip hop thing, and probably even more doing the grime thing, so when people like me post up videos and links to ‘yet another rapper’, you wouldn’t be blamed for walking on by with out a second look. Aspex is a different prospect however, from the ‘Channel U yout’s’ and whiney little fakers that so often seem to dillute what Britain has to offer in terms of lyricism. And lyricism, if that is any quality to be upholded by todays industry, is exactly what Aspex brings to the table.
After a couple of years working with the prolific producer Merlin, and on multiple projects including a mixtape with his boys 2Aggi Ent. Aspex has finally dropped his solo mixtape, ‘No Days Off’. This guys workrate is phenomanal, a truly talented rapper with a lot more to say than the usual ‘lifes hard in the endz’ and ‘my flow is better than yours’ type bragadocious shit. I mean, life probably is hard in the endz, and his flows probably are better than yours, and mine, but Aspex knows full well how to deliver narrative, content, poignancy and a hard punchline to match. This dude is one of the good guys in the game, so we’re hoping to see him win. Support good music and check out his video for ‘Blood Pressure’ below.
The mixtape ‘No Days Off’ is currently available on i-tunes, and you can check out more from Aspex, videos and tunes here.
