There's a new hip hop saviour on the UK's streets, and his name is Derek Safo - that's Sway to you and me. The first person to win a MOBO hip hop award without having an official release (those mix tapes beat most of the competition hands down), this man most definitely deserves the hype.

Boldly waving his British flag, Sway draws lyrical inspiration from on the world around him -studying domestic violence in "Pretty Ugly Husband", unnecessary credit card debt in "Flo' Fashion" and the nature of his own success on "Little Derek". His merging of different musical sources merging beautifully with his off-beat wit and irony.

This is great hip-hop music and defiantly worth every penny.Don'tdownload, go buy this album! Support your own!
