It’s wonderfully laid back to the point of being ambient and chilled, lazy in a good way and wandering slowly along on a hypnotic and restrained beat that is built as much on atmosphere and anticipation as much as it is on beats and bars. But like any music worth its salt in the field of urban music, it is all about the lyrical delivery and John makes his point via a strangely beguiling and brilliantly poetic flow. There may be more space than content going on in his music but surely that is the art of it. Anyone who can create this much of an impact without breaking into a sweat knows exactly how music works. Less is more? Absolutley.
