Dave and Central Cee: Split Decision [Neighbourhood, 2023]
Far be it from me to taxonomize bewilderingly multicultural UK hip-hop beyond reporting that this four-song collab would seem a terse way to establish an alliance between cerebral Anglo-Nigerian David Oborosam, who followed the path of not merely hip-hop but music to rise above his distinguished yet troubled family history, and intelligent Irish-Guyanese Oakley Neil HT Caesar-Su, who's leaner and more autobiographical. There's plenty of gangsta in British rap--too much, I say. In their individual ways, these two guys avoid that trope, and are worth keeping an ear on. B+
