On this review I will be reviewing the debut album by Big Narstie. Which was released last month on the 6th July 2018. It's the debut album by Big Narstie called "BDL Bipolar".
Big Narstie also known as Tyrone Lindo is a rapper from Brixton South London. He's a rapper and MC. He began his career in 2002 as a member of the Grime crew 'N-Double-A'. He is better known for his solo work as an Internet personality. Discussing more about his career. In 2006 he was signed to independent label 'Dice Recordings'. His track "Brushman" was named RWD magazine Song Of The Year sampling 'Coldplay'. Which was the first grime, indie to be supported by multiple mainstream radio stations. Big Narstie has also featured on records including Professor Green and N-Dubz. I first discovered Big Narstie when he collaborated with Craig David with the track "When The Bassline Drops" which was a brilliant track of Garage being back to the mainstream. Big Narstie recently did a Channel 4 show with Mo Gilligan called "The Big Narstie Show" I thought it was hilarious and they were some great guests on his show such as David Schwimmer, Thandie Newton, David Haye, and many more. Discussing about his projects he has released mixtapes, and EPs. Discussing about his debut album "BDL Bipolar" after hearing his debut album what did I think of it? This album is really bad. It's an album where I do not see the hype. I can't believe this album was nominated for Album Of The Year for the Rated Awards which I hope it does not win. I would like to see Nines or Jorja Smith win Album Of The Year at the Rated Awards since they are much better albums than Big Narstie's debut. But overall this debut album from Big Narstie is not good at all. He really is desperate to get into the mainstream world. I do not see the hype. Most critics say that this album is not good. His mixtapes were much better.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album which are only two tracks. Starting with "Love Is A Game" which features 'Chu' I liked 'Chu's' vocals on this track even though I do not know her I think she is a new artist. Production is decent. Narstie's flows are decent on this track. The production reminded me of Chase & Status when they produce Drum & Bass. The other track which is my favourite is "Celebrate" which features 'Teedot' and 'Tizzy' it's not that bad it's alright. My least favourite track is "Hello Hi 2" which features 'Ed Sheeran' This track is hilarious the way Narstie says hello it sounds like an accent from Downtown Abbey. It's not really that good. This track is pointless.
Overall this album is not good at all. It's really not interested only few tracks were good. I would not listen to this album again. I am giving this album a 3/10.
