Nice & Good, not Nice & Smooth

"You already know what the brand is, so overlooked but they don't understand it
But understand I'm a bandit, I'm takin' their Lamb and I'm makin' a banquet"


Knucks ft. SL - Nice & Good
(From Alpha Place album; 2022)



On one hand, this is a MOBO Award winner type U.K Drill song. On the other hand, I like the London Posse type back-and-forth between Knucks & SL over the Pot Noodle Western high noon stare-down production. Verdict: I ain't gonna front on this tune just because Knucks is an Alexis Petridis-bait artist. Bonus points for avoiding my biggest pet peeve with U.K Rap - British men using the words feds and bando.

Okay, that's quite enough U.K choonz for now..... unless J Hus drops some hot new shit, natch.

  2. File Los Pollos Hermanos as the latest entry in 'Rap Songs I Like That Are Way Too Short'.

  3. It might be impossible to make a bad song which somehow involves chicken.

  6. Reckon he was referring to Chick-King on the High Road.

    Felt like a part of me died when I realised I had another fifty minutes left until Everything Everywhere... finally ended. Hated it.
