The London rapper is on the up. Just as William Blake saw the whole world in a grain of sand, so Ty can communicate a life’s worth of wisdom in one rhyme. And comparing the London rapper’s second album to the great poets isn’t facetious hyperbole, for once, since Upwards is a beautifully lyrical listen. Ty tells tales of universal truth without once flashing his bling or bashing the dictionary, and the jazzy beats which seem deceptively simple if funky enough on first hearing soon reveal new depths. Instantly accessible, endlessly rewarding and absolutely essential. (9/10) Paul Clarke 19 September 03 Ty – Upwards, released 22 September 03 on Big Dada. useful link: www.bigdada.com The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
