Durrty Goodz 'Hungry Belly' (Tru Thoughts)

It’s great to see so many of the finest MCs of grime’s old guard – Skepta, Kano, Flowdan – making rock-solid albums this year, and it’s great to see Durrty Goodz among them, too. He’s known as one of the scene’s best lyricists, and in recent years has diverted towards more conscious UK hip hop. Here, though, he’s back to his roots: over rugged grime beats with a seasoning of trap and dub, his only subject matter is merking MCs, making money, getting girls and generally being a bad bastard. And it’s glorious. It feels like he’s having huge fun with it, the wordplay is amazing as ever and if it isn’t quite the structured album that labelmate Flowdan’s was, the individual tracks are fire.

7/10
