Nothing But Classic Hip Hop Right Here5
I am a fan of all Hip Hop whether it be Brit, American, French you name it, accents and languages just dont bother me, I know good Hip Hop when I hear it and this here is top quality Hip Hop. I own a lot, and I mean a lot of Brittish Hip Hop albums and Lionheart Tussle With The Beast is a definete Top contender for Best Brittish Hip Hop album ever made. The production is flawless, some hardcore neck snappin' beats, some laid back and some in between. Then theres the lyrics, Klash is a lyrical genius spitting some of the most precise yet thought provoking lyrics Ive ever heard. Everything goes together perfectly on this album. So if you are a fan of genuine Hip Hop, not the pop/commercial ish thats destroying Hip Hop, buy this straight away.

K-Lash5
I think this album and Sagas Of cements Klashnekoff as the best MC in the UK right now, it's good to see that it's been released on Low Life instead of a major as well, this can only strength British hip-hop.

[...] I can understand how you feel that Klashnekoff has not moved outside of his comfort zone as upon the surface it sounds similar to Focus Mode and Sagas Of but lyrically it is deeper with K revealing the treatment suffered at the hands of his own mother.

Once again Kyza spits some of the hottest rhymes on the album, "I'm ready for dead like Kamikaze bombers, the National Guard and the British Army wan' us" and "We cause fights in the clubs and raves, on the dancefloor we leave a trail of blood for days" being prime examples of his talent.

This is only second to Sagas Of for UK Hip-hop, a essential purchase.

A Letdown2
A big ole fat one. I know it easy to sit here and criticise saying blah blah...but its hard to escape the truth either.

Loads of rap fans in the UK have been waiting for the first LP proper from Klash and I'd say this is more Buddha's album than Klashs'. Although it is not adventurous enough to make much of an impact past small radio shows and one column reviews. Which is a shame as the quality of the style of production is immaculate and Joe Buddha obviously has the ability to make more varied music than this.

It seems that Klash has trapped himself in the role of `King Of The Road' and where he goes after this has been restricted. This isn't New York and whilst even in the bleaker days of the early 90s (where a lot of this seems to be set with Mobb Deep-ish beats) artists could shift 6 figures of units....I'll be interested to say how many `man dem' put their hand in their pocket to support this. You don't shift units from your community....its the people that want to be like you that will buy it, to buy into the lifestyle they're not part of.

Its not a bad album by any stretch of the imagination....its just that it seems to lack ANY real imagination outside his comfort zone. The problem that UK rappers face is that America is an expert at glamourisation. It makes death seem pretty at times. But over here, it comes across like it really is, grim, bleak and non attractive.

I only sound so damning cos I wanted so much more from this LP and it hasn't delivered. To be fair you have to compare it to similar releases in recent years like Roots Manuva, who whilst not always hitting the spot musically and lyrically is at least trying to take it somewhere different.
