This is the 4th studio LP from Canonbury, London, England, United Kingdom emcee/producer Chester P. A member of the Mud Family collective as well as 1/2 of the Task Force alongside his older brother Farma G, he would later go on to release the full-length solo debut From the Ashes in 2009 followed by the sophomore effort New Mic Order: Survive or Die Trying & the sequel. 8 months however have gone by since The Post Apocalyptic Storyteller extended play & now The Nameless Project has emerged.

“Fuck Your Future” has a quirky industrial hip hop vibe to it instrumentally talking about his home being a place where the eyes of the soldier are empty & soulless whereas “The Backdraft” uncannily discusses the harsh realities of society working until they grow old. “It’s a Lot” kicks it off the top for 72 seconds talking about having to step up his lyricism & after a skit, “Criminal Peeps” dedicates itself to all the hoodlums who like to cause mayhem in the streets.

As for “Charlie Sheen”, we have Chester over a sinister boom bap beat likening the cocaine to the infamous actor of the same name while “Tycho Brahe (The Man With the Golden Nose)” once again talks about crack retaining an industrial flare to the instrumental. “The Ballad of a Drunken Spaceman” packs a punch despite its brevity detailing our main character getting thrown in a basement for a minute & after the “LSD” skit, I’d consider “Dead Watch” to be a lot more of an interlude than an “intro”.

“The 5 Fingers” slows down his vocals talking about either dying or surviving as far as he’s concerned while “Warning Shot” gets anarchic over a futuristic boom bap beat. “Dead Canaries” comes through for a minute & a half cautioning spitfire towards anyone who gets caught in his way but once “Gas Mask Squad” treads the industrial hip hop/boom bap waters 1 last time advising to be weary coming to the dead watch, “1 Love from Camelot” sends off The Nameless Project penning an open letter to someone he knows behind bars.

One of the most prolific artists in the entire UK hip hop scene returning after 7 years with EP containing no samples tackling mature topics was a refreshing comeback for Chester P & he switches it up again with The Nameless Project in some capacities. I find the post-apocalyptic themes to be cohesively told regardless if some might’ve hoped for a feature or 2 & the secondary influences of industrial hip hop heard within the production certainly suit the concept when it’s needed.

Score: 3.5/5
