2021 has been a long year. I’ve been suffering from long covid which has been difficult and tiring to say the least but I’m really pleased with the direction my writing is going in. Here’s a thread of my favourite pieces I’ve worked on in 2021 ✍️ Hopefully lots more to come!

💿Review: Jim Legxacy - "Black British Music" Project Review ⚫️🇬🇧🎶 "Every track has multiple easter eggs where Jim will for a split second splice in a sample from the UK Rap lexicon" "This is beyond UK Rap – this is Black British Music, and it feels as if this is the start of something far bigger" Read Here: 🔗mixtapemadness.com/blog/music/jim…
