Quirky in parts, seriously adventurous in others, ‘Relevant English Rhymes’ is the new mixtape from Wolverhampton rapper Alex-is and has been released under the UK Runnings brand, a mixtape series that has previously done mixes with the likes of Braydz, Big Cakes, Tbear, Novar and more. Never envisioning himself as a pigeon-holed rapper, he has laid the foundation with this excellent collection. I found this release a constantly evolving entity, with songs that have a style that doesn’t waste too much time getting the point across. Conceptually diverse and solid throughout this is something all UK Hip-Hop heads need to check for. You can catch Alex-is performing at this year’s Boom Bap festival.
