Hip Hop 2021: Halftime

Hip Hop 2021: Halftime

The ‘best albums of the year so far’ lists seem to have become a staple of the music news cycle.

We’re proving them wrong, hopefully.

My bits are on Slowthai, Benny The Butcher and Lloyd Banks, but it’s a great team effort all roumd. Take a look on BPM.
