Fekky: El Clasico review – coolly efficient grime crossover

Fekky: ‘best when least predictable’
Fekky: ‘best when least predictable’.

The juvenile skits are the worst part of this debut from south-east London’s latest grime crossover hope. Fekky is best when least predictable, as on Real Ones (which covers similar territory to Kanye’s Real Friends), Broke N Famous and the fascinating Paranoid. He doesn’t quite have the charm to pull off wannabe player anthem Rnot and nothing interesting to say about the drugs mentioned in nearly every song (unless “cut down trees and shovel up snow” is actually about a Ground Force reboot). However, coolly efficient choruses and a good choice of beats and guest bars make this a satisfying first effort.

Watch Fekky’s video for Avirex ft Neutrino and Chip.
