slowthai's had all eyes on him in the past year. The Northampton-bred emcee began making waves last year, building up his buzz to become one of the most important artists coming out of the U.K. His punk rock attitude blends with grime to form a new sound while he addresses ongoing societal issues in Britain. Now, he formally introduces himself, encompassing all sides of his artistry on his new project, Nothing Great About Britain.
After dropping off several singles, slowthai drops off his new project, Nothing Great About Britain in its entirety. The project consists of seventeen tracks while slowthai holds down the majority of the project on his own. Skepta assists him on "Inglorious" which arrived along with a visual before the album's release. Mura Masa teams up with slowthai on the punk-influenced track, "Doorman." Jaykae also appears on the project for the song "Grow Up."
