Mystro

I’m not really an advocate of the mainstream UK rap scene. I don’t want to make any enemies by saying that but watching a music video from artists likes Chipmunk, Tinchie Stryder, Tinie Tempah and N-Dubz makes me wretch a little.

They define the word generic.

That said, there are UK rappers that I think trounce their US rivals and one of those such rappers is Mystro.

This man is smart and intelligent and those characteristics amongst others are channelled so purely into his music and lyrics. I was hoping to feature his latest video titled Round My Way but it’s been removed from Vimeo so instead here’s his 2009 ‘Rap Up’ song which I think is very special indeed.
