A proud Mancunian with Zimbabwean roots, the record reflects on his journey growing up in Manchester and takes a deep, introspective dive through his inner workings, set to a backdrop of deconstructed grime and rap fused with a variety of Afro-diasporic sounds.
A regular MC / host for the likes of Swamp81 and Hessle Audio and a long time affiliate of Loefah, Zed Bias, Chimpo, Dub Phizix, and Manchesters Levelz crew, Chunky's voice is synonymous with the sounds of the UK's underground club scene. Revered as one of the city's finest MC's and producers, his music is soaked with depth and experience, unafraid to push the envelope and create a space all of its own. The album is truly something special.

STAFF COMMENTS
Matt says: Been waiting an eternity to get some local Manchester rap on vinyl in the shop. It's some of the most ground-breaking and revered music from the UK yet vinyl releases have been painfully thin on the ground. Big shouts to Eglo and Chunky for committing this project to wax. It doesn't disappoint! Fraught with tension and explosive lyrical showers, paired with some ingenious production tweaks by Metrodome there's an air of riotous flag bearing throughout.TRACK LISTING
