Datkid – “Wakmo” review

This is the 6th studio LP from Bristol, England, United Kingdom emcee Datkid. Beginning as a part of the Split Prophets, he began embarking on a solo career in the summer of 2011 off Dkay n Gramma as well as a subsequent sophomore effort called Home by 8 a little over 8 months later & Teeth Ledger. Confessions of a Crud Lordproduced by Real Life Drama Records co-founder Leaf Dog of The 4 Owls under High Focus Recordshas already become one of the label’s greatest releases, coming off Sleepless in Pinhoe to have Illinformed fully produce Wakmo.

“Take the Wheel” opens up shop incorporating this bloodcurdling boom bap instrumental talking about his mind state being all or nothing whereas “Thick Lip” hooks up a ghostly backdrop layered with kicks & snares speaking of him trying to upgrade his life. “1 Way or Another” talks about being so bucked to the point where he forgot what he got high off of & pressing for numbers when stressed leading into Bil Next & Wish Master helping him explain they get busy where it’s “Crooked”.

Sean Peng joins Datkid on “Look Up” telling all the lazy muhfuckas who stay hungry to get up off their asses & chase a bag just before “Nothing But” featuring Leaf Dog talks about driving cars like they stole ‘em when that’s most likely the case & refusing to let anyone sit near them if they have nothing to offer. “Where You At” keeps that crud packaged & delivered advising everyone who’s looking for him to come find him while “Aktive” talks about having too much game for pussy rappers to handle, later suggesting those nearby to keep it friendly & not tempt him because hems been keeping his composure.

“Thorn in Your Side” featuring Babylon Dead blends these strings with more kicks & snares seeing the jealousy in the eyes of people who hold envy towards Datkid & Jman for being the successful underground artists they’ve become while “Chitchat” featuring D£DW8 reaches the halfway point with the 2 talking about haters fearing their greatness. “Don’t Lie” featuring Crossbow T & Mistafire contemplates the idea of leaving the trio’s competition missing like Jimmy Hoffa while “Steve Harper” featuring Smellington Piff trades the mic back-&-forth for a few minutes.

Instrumentally, “Line It Up” somewhat reminds me of the Outsidaz joint “Get the Dick” off Bizarre’s solo debut EP Attack of the Weirdos! making wine out of everything he’s being hearing through the grapevine while “This Place” talks about making money to spending it frivolously. “Scrub Your Hands” featuring ManLikeMally speaks of being corrupted from the very beginning while “Fentanyl” featuring Babylon Dead, Bil Next, Eric the Red, Jack Jetson, Res 1, Tona Montona & Wyatt Earp made for a decent UK hip hop posse cut.

The title track ruggedly talks about catching cases on top of shutting down every spot he pulls up to while “Dole Benefit Claimers” featuring Res 1 links back up so they can get discuss always being up to shit giving a fuck less regarding who likes it or not. “Dunno” featuring BVA & Verb T samples “40 Oz.” by D12 during the hook talking about all 3 of them smoking weed & drinking alcohol while “Slime” finishes with him trying to stick to the game plan making money although it doesn’t go that way sometimes.

Sleepless in Pinhoe a couple months ago left me torn in comparison to Confessions of a Crud Lord& despite liking Wakmo more than it’s predecessor merely 7 weeks earlier, there’s a part of me that believes I could’ve enjoyed it way more because the singles that teased for it had me under the impression it would be my 2nd favorite Datkid solo project. Illinformed’s production takes it back to the traditional boom bap sound instead of continuing to experiment with trap music, but there is some occasional filler & he didn’t have to bring a guest performer besides throughout half of it.

Score: 3.5/5

Truemendous – “The Misdiagnosis of Chyvonne Johnson” review

Birmingham, West Midlands, England, United Kingdom emcee Truemendous making her full-length studio debut. Introducing herself in 2015 off her debut EP Whoremonal Moodswings, she continued to build momentum with the trilogy P.S. This Is Your Mother Calling began & bridged by P.S. This is Your Father Calling. The final chapter P.S. This is Your Aunty Calling eventually caught the attention of High Focus Records, who dropped her 5th EP Huh? right when the COVID-19 pandemic began. However, she’s ready to take the next step in her evolution & is ready to start the 2nd quarter of the year dissecting The Misdiagnosis of Chyvonne Johnson a couple months succeeding Jamie Hayter becoming a 2-time RPW British Women’s Champion.

“Cause a Scene” comes out the gate with an aggressive boom bap intro talking about her being on the verge of drumming up a disturbance within the UK hip hop scene whereas “Probably Right (Too)” pens a cavernous open letter that Telemachus cooked up to her lover suggesting his parents are right in regards of her being too good for him. “Y” featuring Kofi Stone goes for a jazzy boom bap vibe thanks to Illinformed tackling themes of heartbreak while “Worst Child” asks if one loves themselves over a rich yet dusty beat.

As for “Selfish Behavior”, we have Truemendous spending 9 minutes fusing boom bap as well as neo-soul & a hint of trap telling her partner that she’s coming with whenever he decides to leave her just before “You Don’t Wanna” gives off a cloudier trap vibe instrumentally courtesy of Wundrop so she can give some shine to the unique flow that got her a label deal 13 months earlier for 100 seconds. “You Don’t Like Me Because” takes the jazzy boom bap route with the help of Dirty Dike for a message directed at all the people who doubted her while “Free Food” moodily talks about only being somewhere she didn’t want to be because of the complimentary nourishments.

“Crying of Laughter” begins the 2nd half with an atmospheric trap beat explaining that she’s only shedding tears of amusement because she wants to cry over the very person she has in mind while she was writing this while “Spirit & Breanna” celebrates the impression of her having no competition whatsoever. “Mood Ring” incorporates some synthesizers to talk doing people wrong or right depending on how she’s feeling while the J Dilla-inspired “Browkeee” celebrates entrepreneurship.

The sequel to “Tick the Box” jumps over a quirky beat so she can keep moving intrusively while “Emmett Till” featuring Masta Ace returns to the boom bap to talk about the system being rigged in their favor. “Viral” featuring Obi Rundo gets back on the eerie trap tip dismantling the crowd who downplays their work ethics but once “Petty You, Petty Me” cohesively talks about the concept of pettiness itself, it only makes sense for “Yvonne’s Daughter” to finish the LP with an endearing tribute to her mother.

Inspired by Lauryn Hill’s only solo effort The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Truemendous’ own debut album under High Focus Records offers the underground at large a complete representation of who she is by capturing every dimension of her musically. The songwriting’s a lot more fiercely heavier than both of her earlier projects were with the production honing in on the eclectic crossovers between boom bap, neo-soul, jazz rap & trap that were heard over a year ago.

Score: 3.5/5

Verbz – “Radio Waves” review

This is the sophomore effort & High Focus Records debut from Croydon, South London, England, United Kingdom emcee Verbz. Introducing himself in 2017 off the full-length debut Lessons of Adolescence produced by Brighton beatsmith Mr. Slipz, he would later put out the debut mixtape Pathways a little over 52 weeks ago & that interested the Hove, East Sussex imprint enough to bring them on board in an attempt of shocking the Radio Waves despite the COVID-19 pandemic going 7 months strong.

“2202 FM” begins with a boom bap instrumental nostalgically reminiscent of 90s east coast hip hop talking about always walking right way maintaining an irate mindset & after the “Radio” skit, “Changed” blends cloud rap & boom bap realizing the time’s now for him to right all of his wrongs. “Falling” featuring Melanin 9 finds the 2 talking about being a product of more than simply smoking weed staying on the come up while the jazzy “Summer in the Bits” spending late nights & early mornings in the place he loves.

Preceding another “Radio” skit, “Scenes” cherishes each remnant of growth later confessing he isn’t sure where this road will take him leading into “Decline of Self” featuring Confucius MC & Coops finds the trio jumping over a piano-driven beat keeping it real to themselves & picking up the cards they’ve been dealt for years. “Piece of Shit” keeps the old school boom bap vibes going talking about never having a plan & simply making it work while “Hold Ur Own” makes it a mission to do his crew out in the Cronx proud.

“Know tha Status” featuring Axel Holy, Datkid & Upfront brings the keys back in the fold combining it with some kicks & snares talking about being selfish by default while “The Rain” succeeding a 3rd “Radio” skit refers back to the phrase “when it rains, it’s pours” after another life was lost in vein. “Weekend Blues” jazzily suggests everyone keeps their heads High to Focus on more demonstrating some clever wordplay just before “Men Can Breathe” featuring Benaddict dustily advises artists to find their balance & stay grinding until they get the chance of making money off their music.

Preceding the penultimate “Radio” skit, “Limitless” instrumentally reminds me of Nas’ iconic debut illmatic talking about there being nothing left other than the stains of what once was while “My Wonders” featuring Fliptrix comes together to burn skunk & pour liquor for their loved ones left. “The Feeling” explains burdens of the mind planting the roots of a new person while “Hope” featuring Nelson Dialect talking about only a few appreciating this. “In My Mind” excluding the “Radio” outro finishes by describing the only place he can find his peace.

I still prefer Lessons of Adolescence by a slight margin, but Verbz & Mr. Slipz still make an exciting High Focus Records debut out of Radio Waves & it gives me the impression they’ll put out some of the best material through the label as the decade goes on. Other than the skits kinda draggin’ it on a bit longer than it should’ve been, the unrivaled chemistry of Slipz’ cloudier yet denser boom bap production paired with Verbz’ introspective lyricism exposes what everything that makes them one of the UK hip hop movement’s most exciting acts in recent memory & the beginning of something greater for each of them.

Score: 4/5

Coops – “Crimes Against Creation” review

London, England, United Kingdom emcee/producer Coops ending his High Focus Records tenure with an extended play full of material. Introducing himself during my adolescence off his full-length debut What Do You See? as well as Lost Soul, & God Complex, his High Focus debut No Brainer would be welcomed to mixed reception & Life in the Flesh was later received more positively a few months later. To begin the 2nd half of what has already been a disastrous 2020, he looks to outdo both in the form of Crimes Against Creation.

“Boom Biddy Bye” breaks the gate down with this old school boom bap instrumental from Talos dismantling all lyrical opponents in his path whereas “Factory Reared” jazzily talks about being fed up with all these rappers to the point of wanting to kill them. “Bring the Fire” works in a vibraphone with some kicks & snares talking about blazing the spot up just before “Piss Poor” eerily tackles the fear he has of becoming broke from a financial point of view.

Starting the 2nd half, “Laws of Nature” blends jazz rap & boom bap once more talking about being seen as either a threat to humanity or a savior just before the title track turns up the jazzier elements telling his story the way it happened refusing any other negotiations. “Profile” takes the lo-fi boom bap route stylistically recalling the time a woman gave him a number of her’s to dial & “End Times” jazzily finishes by talking about living in the middle of the apocalypse beginning.

In the midst of COVID-19 shutting the whole entire world down for 4 months & counting, Crimes Against Creationcomes across significantly darker than what Coops has done previously providing the soundtrack for these times of uncertainty we’re experiencing all across the globe. Taking inspiration from the greats instead of what’s current, the jazzy boom bap production feels nostalgically reminiscent of 90s east coast hip hop such as Mobb Deep facing issues like the current state of hip hop & politics directly.

Score: 3.5/5

The 4 Owls – “Nocturnal Instinct” review

The 4 Owls are a boom bap quartet from London, England, United Kingdom consisting of BVA, Fliptrix, Leaf Dog & Verb T. Making their full-length debut Nature’s Greatest Mystery under High Focus Records during my freshman year of high school, their sophomore effort Natural Order came out a few months prior to my graduation & have since considered “Think Twice” to be the greatest single of their career. 5 years later, the group’s returning for their 4th studio album a month since the COVID-19 pandemic began globally.

“Sound the Alarm” featuring Smellington Piff begins with all 4 of them over a boom bap instrumental from Leaf Dog promising to behead everyone questioning their leadership whereas “Coming Home” find the Owls talking about dumping every & all toxic styles into the wasteland. Kool G Rap joins forces over a vocal sample during “Pioneer” to see who has the most intricate pen of the 5 just before “Be Free” carries forward talking about the whole idea of freedom.

The 2nd single “Honor Codes” ponders if one’s capable of making the right choices & making changes to their lives while “Life Lines” continues to let Leaf Dog’s ear for sampling shine dropping off 4 rapid-fire verses in the midst of it all. DJ Premier returns behind the boards for the 3rd & final single “100%” assured their story will be told like Atilla the Hun while “Air Strike” featuring R.A. the Rugged Man references Black Sabbath frontman & WWE Hall of Famer Ozzy Osbourne.

“Dark Days” featuring Roc Marciano continues the 2nd half with an organ-heavy boom bap beat ripping it hardcore for almost 5 minutes without the need of a hook & after “Let Go” confesses the Owls’ awareness of having things they need to stop holding onto like giving a fuck about whatever others nearby think of you over an orchestral flip, “Deadly Movements” featuring Masta Killa tells the story a man with a heart of gold becoming increasingly weaker as he gets older going from a once sharp & full mind that’s now clouded & diseased.

To start Nocturnal Instinct’s encore, the song “Lessons” blends kicks & snares with a guitar sample talking about studying the essence while “I Got You” speaks of the Owls trying to free themselves mentally whilst searching for another world & feeling something within the air once they’ve gone through the open portal over this boom bap instrumental radiating a mafioso atmosphere to it. Regarding the outro, we’re presented a soulful sequel to “All My Life” off Nature’s Greatest Mystery revisiting the predecessor’s themes nearly a decade earlier.

Yearning to elevate themselves further, The 4 Owls recruit a handful of East Coast veterans to accompany them behind the mic besides Smellington on the intro to further exemplify their status as the greatest boom bap group that the UK hip hop scene has to offer only a few months deep into this new decade. The production is a lot similar to Natural Order’s in that it’s almost entirely handled by Leaf Dog with the exception of Preemo doing a track & every single member pushing themselves lyrically farther than they did over the course of their last couple LPs.

Score: 4.5/5

Truemendous – “Huh?” review

Here we have the 5th EP from Birmingham, West Midlands, England, United Kingdom emcee Truemendous. Introducing herself in 2015 off her debut EP Whoremonal Moodswings, she continued to build momentum with the trilogy P.S. This Is Your Mother Calling began & bridged by P.S. This is Your Father Calling. The final chapter P.S. This is Your Aunty Calling eventually caught the attention of High Focus Records, who signed Truemendous & looks to introduce herself as part of the roster in the form of Huh? a month after Gisele Shaw became the new RPW British Women’s Champion.

“That Don’t Mean” starts us off showcasing unique flows over a Pitch 92 beat speaking of being self-aware of an imminent breakup & that taking breaks is ok whereas “Meerkatz” takes the cloudy trap route instrumentally asking how one’s broke when they’re always at work. “O.T.Y.L. (Only Time You Love), Pt. 2” produced by Illinformed is a boom bap sequel to a 2016 loosie that greatly improves everything regarding the original version prior to “Sweetheart” talking about giving a fuck less regarding anyone else’s superstitions.

Continuing the final leg of Huh?, the song “Sumtymes” goes for a west coast vibe to the beat speaking of everything being too much yet she manages to cope with it prior to Telemachus getting behind the boards 1 last time during the woodwind-heavy “Out My Face” telling a group of people she dislikes to back away from her quickly as they can. “Hmmm” closes up shop with some synthesizers questioning those acting out of pocket behaviorally & not saying shit as often as she once did.

Preluding her forthcoming debut album The Misdiagnosis of Chyvonne Johnson, the High Focus Records debut of Truemendous confidently marks the finest example of the very same storytelling expertise or varied range & unrivalled flow that helped give her the honor of being the label’s First Lady in the midst of the whole entire world shutting stopping as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Production’s a big upgrade compared to her earlier stuff & she really saved her strongest performances for this special occasion.

Score: 4/5

Onoe Caponoe – “Invisible War” review

Here we have the 4th studio LP from London, England, United Kingdom emcee/producer Onoe Caponoe. Introducing himself in the early 2010s off his debut mixtape Central Control as well as Willows Midnight Gallery & Holy Mountain, it wasn’t until The Staircase to Nowhere caught the attention of High Focus Records & made his full-length debut for the label with Voices from Planet Cattele during my senior year of high school. Spells from the Cyclops would continue Onoe’s evolution & Surf or Die has become the most celebrated work of his yet, looking to fight an Invisible War succeeding it.

After the “Awakening” intro, the first song “Jungle” featuring L-Zee Roselli begins with the 2 over this dark 808-heavy beat & Caponoe having the more lively verse of them both in my opinion whereas “Starlight Lady” takes the boom bap route instrumentally to talk about the kind of woman who left his heart blazing on fire. “Wild in the Streets” goes for a Memphis vibe in general running laps around listeners with his flow just before “Ur Killing Me” shifts gears in the form of a primarily compositional piece.

“Ghost Castle” maintains a naturally killer chopper delivery & embracing a fittingly spookier atmosphere to the beat just before “Lamp of Lust” talks about being lustful kind of Genie hitting us with some of that good old fashioned funk in the midst of it. “Escape from Darkness” comes through with another instrumental bridge sonically reminiscent to 70s blaxploitation movies while the rage-inducing “Ghosts in Ma Alleyway” talks about not fucking with jokes because he has spirits inside in his head.

After the “Walking Thru the Forest” skit, “Breaking Out the Mist (Into the Light)” featuring Miles Dare pushes the 2nd half forward pairing the 2 over a flute-tinged boom bap beat confessing it’s like the world has both of them stressing lately while “Exorcist” also featuring Miles Dare after the self-produced “Battle of Self (I Love You Gurl)” intermission sticks together for a shift towards a Memphis-influenced direction homaging one of the greatest horror movies ever made.

“The Nothing” somberly asks where the time has gone demanding an answer for one of life’s biggest mysteries while “A Talking Cat” preceding the “Lost in Limbo” spoken word bit talks about painting his Mona Lisa with Surf or Die & constantly staying elevated artistically. “I’m Golden” radiates some rap rock undertones start to finish flexing his greatness, marking the last official song since both “The Message” & “Crying Cat” end in the form of a couple cohesively tied instrumental passages.

Ultimately I wouldn’t say that Invisible War has that same definitively complete feeling Surf or Die had, but I’m still happy this album exists because it’s another appreciable entry in the experimentally abstract Onoe Caponoe’s discography. The production is a menacing fusion of jazz rap, cloud rap, trap, hypnagogic pop & Memphis rap respectively opening a portal to an alternative universe where it feels like he’s taking lesser risks than he did on Surf or Die & in no way am I saying that’s a bad thing. It can be necessary.

Score: 3.5/5

Jam Baxter – “Off Piste” review

This is the 2nd solo EP from London, England, United Kingdom emcee Jam Baxter of the Dead Players & Contact Play. Signing to High Focus Records, his 2010 solo debut Rinse Out Friday / Spack Out Monday was received positively & the sophomore effort The Gruesome Features would see a lot more critical acclaim. …So We Ate Them Whole in 2014 remains amongst High Focus’ most celebrated releases ever, following up Mansion & Touching Scenes to drop Off Piste with less than a month left of the decade.

“Red Hawaiian” produced by Dr. Zygote starts off with a boom bap opener by talking about what he’s got inside his bag whereas “All Clear” featuring Lee Scott finds the 2 speaking of pulling your brain out of your mouth & giving us the all clear. “Drowned Dogs” featuring Datkid teams up over a Dirty Dike instrumental trading verses back-&-forth with each other while “The Stump” advises on top of a Telemachus beat that one should’ve stayed true to themselves from the start.

Coinciding with a brand new book of the same name, Jam Baxter takes a couple loose singles & combines them with 2 previously released songs to craft an extended play that I enjoy a lot than the one he put out 5 years prior. The production’s a cut above Fresh Flesh’s in addition to reaching the same pedestal Touching Scenes did 12 months earlier, spending half of it holding down the fort by himself & the other bringing a couple of his labelmates beside him to add their own distinctive flavors regarding cadences or general mood.

Score: 4/5

CMPND – “Eagle Court” review

CMPND is a hip hop trio from Brighton, East Sussex, England, United Kingdom consisting of Kemastry, Wundrop & Vitamin G. All 3 of which are lyricists in their own right & Wundrop in particular being their in-house producer. Introducing themselves 6 months previously, the group has already been making enough waves to the point where the historic Hove underground imprint High Focus Records agreeably realizing they’d be a great for the label & signed them in time for their full-length studio debut album to arrive a month after Zack Sabre Jr. ended 棚橋弘至 reign as RPW British Heavyweight Champion.

The title track produced by none other than Wundrop talking about what it was like for them growing up in the very housing complex that made CMPND who they are whereas the 3rd & final single “E.W.A. (Eagles With Attitude)” gives middle fingers to the feds, including an awesome shoutout to Jeru the Damaja too. “Solid Air” has a more hypnotic trap vibe instrumentally talking about being more sinful than symbols just before “Whatuplayin@” acknowledges the word around the streets of their greatness.

“Illeagle Court” featuring Hutch shifts towards a cloudy boom bap direction to the beat cautioning that shit really goes down around their neck of the woods leading into “Home Runs” featuring Verbz marking the first of 2 appearances from the latter admitting that they still can’t find peace out in the streets. “U Know We Fly” talks about being crazier than Warner Bros.’ flagship franchise Looney Tunes while “Arjun Robben” ends the 1st half boasting to be the Ps who don’t do Qs.

Kicking off the 3rd quarter, “Dusty Ivory” returns to the boom bap confessing they shouldn’t rule the world because of the self-awareness of barely being responsible for their own actions while “Flight 370” dissects the Malaysia Airlines Flight in March of 2014 that infamously disappeared. “Instant Wins” gives off secondary influences of psychedelic music down to the slurred chorus talking about being ahead of the pack while “Paraphrase” featuring Verbz finds themselves keeping their heads above the hemisphere.

“Silence in Court” begins Eagle Court’s final leg explain explaining that we’re all corpses of our former selves in the grand scheme of things yearning for new lungs & company while “Purpatrait” talks about breaking rules despite not playing games. “Hindenburg” featuring Dirty Dike, Fliptrix, HERBiCiDE, Nuphzed & Stinkin’ Slumrok comes together for a 7 minute posse cut where Dike, the High Focus CEO himself & Slumrok shine the most while “Days to Daze” ends with an introspectively soulful outro.

Taking the title of CMPND’s inaugural LP after the blocks of flats all 3 members met & grew up together, these guys bring a whole new vision & aesthetic to the forefront devoid of outside distractions & influences only marking the beginning of a bright future under High Focus Records. Whether it be Wundrop’s production influenced by boom bap as well as grime & UK drill in addition to his critical social commentary or Vitamin G’s multi-syllables & Kemastry’s unpredictability, the new era of UK hip hop has already arrived.

Score: 4/5

Ronnie Bosh – “All People Expect” review

London, England, United Kingdom emcee Ronnie Bosh ready to embark on a new chapter of his career with a solo debut. An original member of the quintet Contact Play, he would go on to make multiple guest appearances for a multitude of projects over the course of the 2010s from Rag’n’Bone Man’s 3rd EP Put That Soul on Me to Dirty Dike’s 5th album Acrylic Snail as a more recent example. The latter of whom was announced to be fully producing All People Expect, which is welcoming considering the history they’ve had with one another for a decade.

“100%” opens up shop with this boom bap intro talking about him having no reasons to pretend when he’s got his swagger fully loaded whereas “Nothing” ruggedly speaks of dunces bluffing like it ain’t shit & the pigs using high breams to see more clearly. “Explain” featuring Jam Baxter takes a more soulful approach to the beat talking about monstrous flesh covered in rat’s skin just before the title track thematically shifts towards some conscious subject matter.

The 2nd & final single “You Know” goes for an old school vibe instrumentally talking about doing this shit so he can make jaws click instead of seeking praise from others while “Funghi” featuring Jam Baxter & Lee Scott sees the trio finding humor in the future, hence why they’ve been on this wave of spending a bunch of cash. “Get Out” combines elements of jazz rap & boom bap sending a message to the people who ain’t fucking with him prior to “1” showing a soulfully sensual side of himself.

“Do You Ever Think?” begins the album’s final act hooking up an organ flip asking this person with a shitty attitude if they’ve ever thought of the way they conduct themselves being the very reason Ronnie’s respect for them has slowly begun to deteriorate while the bluesy “Honorable Death” vividly tells the story of a man getting shot 21 times succumbing to his injuries. Contact Play reforms during the outro “Pulp”, hopefully planting the seeds for a reunion under High Focus Records when the time’s right.

Becoming a permanent behind the scenes fixture of the UK hip hop movement, fans have waited a long time for Ronnie Bosh to begin carving his own individual path artistically & High Focus ends that wait by letting his larger than life personality shine brighter than it has in the past. Dirty Dike offers amongst the greatest boom bap/jazz rap production he’s ever cooked up & one can certainly respect Ronnie’s attempts at testing out new things like singing or switching up his flows for 47 minutes instead of sticking to his bread & butter.

Score: 4/5
