Ghostpoet's debut album released early in February of this year (2011), is nothing short of greatness. It's impossible to put this album into a genre. This guy is so creatively crafty with the way he's ventured through the different avenues of music. Dubbing himself "a lad with a lisp and some stories to tell", being born and bred on the gritty streets of Coventry, he paints a picture of how life is/was like over underwater, free-slowing, repetitive boom claps. This is the ISH to be listening to, when you knockin' back that ISH... ya feel me.
In this album of only 10 tracks he's spanned the worlds of hip-hop, trip-hop, dubstep, indie and all sorts. I've gotta admit... It's frikkkin GENIUS! Especially on his debut. He's even got Kano on the wave.

The best track for me on here is Finished I Ain't. The production on this has sealed it for me, the sluggish simple beat, that creates visuals in your head of you getting a tour of his hometown around him. This is a big one for me.
