Dont look out for Grime but thought I would check the video. You got a link to him spitting sick lyrics as I found this track and damn this guy sounds wack.

His rhymes are weak man..

I am from the UK bro. Watched the vids and yeah he is all aggreasive on the mic but lyrically he not saying much man. I see this in all the grime MC's I hear to be honest. Compared to the best UK rappers devlin is way behind man!!

I dont really hear any sick quotables when he spits.

I Hate the first vid post One Mic (not London City) but the Movement DVD, he hardly got started before idiots started shouting. To be honest, searching through ypoutube and both your links, to me he seems another bog-standard grime MC, all aggressive on the hype shit (yawn) but more simple emotional bars for more emotional songs...There's a million mc's like him in the uk, nothing outstanding

That London City track sounds alright to me.
I like how the gentle beat contrasts with the more aggressive delivery.

These are all good. I'm surprised at how mature his music is lyrically. Particularly Community Outcast, which is great social commentary.
I'm having a hard time understanding the difference between hip hop and grime. Devlin is categorized as grime. What exactly is it that makes his music fall into the grime genre?

Damn this dude is insane :worship:

One Mic, do you have any idea when his next album is coming out? I'm guessing the singles London City and Giant is for that one.

I like him but i find his flow hard to get into, it's so abstract. He really jumps around beats.

Personally i think Plan B is much more sellable

Yeah I know, kinda surprised/disappointed he put Community Outcast on there. It's a great song and all but it's 4 years old.....

Giggs got a boring flow.....

So it's basically a re-done version of Community Outcast? Is it the same version as the one in the music video or is he releasing a whole new redo of the song on the album?

I didn't like runaway either, and it sounds exactly like runaway...... hopefully the singles are the only so commercial songs on the album.
