Chris Leese is a long time hip hop Mc as well as Don't Flop Norths first battle rapper, he comes from Macc Town, he combines a mixture of strong lyrics with a comic style, this is his debut album and what an album it is.The album is 16 tracks long and it features other MCs such as Louis Logic, Red Eye & Assa. Mixed in with all of the "Piss Hop," as Chris calls it, are some strong emotional tracks that can really relate to. One of the most heartfelt tracks on the album is a song called The Pain which is a tale about a heroin user and his struggle in life, Chris's lyrical word play really stood out on this song. The title track is possible Chris's best track on the album, perhaps his carer, it perfectly combines comic lyrics with intellectual thinking creating a classic tune which can be appreciated across the hip hop community. Other stand out tracks include (Still) Better than You, a sequel track to Better than you, Class in Session, a crazy track where Chris takes the role of a school teacher and Writing My Wrongs. Overall this album finds a nice way to dance between comedy and serious Hip Hop, like all debut albums this has a few weak tracks but most of the tracks are superb, any underground Hip Hop fan should definitely own this album!
