Most artists are perfectionists and hugely self critical
Most artists are perfectionists and hugely self critical, but Simplex may be the most self critical i’ve come across. In fact if we could get him to realise just how amazing an artist he is the onslaught of music sure to follow would make us all happy. His beats have helped lift Terra Firma’s albums to be revered as classics, whilst his rhymes on his own music, as well as that of others, have always been rewind and digest material. Audio Biography is fantastic start to end, whilst tracks such as First Things First and Beautiful Day will instantly pull your ears in, it’s the reward that you get when you listen to the lyrics that will have you coming back for more. Opus Operandi is a pure hip hop heater, Delta, Motion & newcomer Alerts each ripping the track, while the global appeal of Worldwide could just about garner mainstream radio play. This album is exactly as good as you expect it to be.
