Review / Highly Recommended!!!: Over the last year, we have seen a number of different projects land from Crafty 893, with this latest selection entitled 'Smart Dumb' being what we believe to be what everything has been leading up to. To put it simply, it's a powerful project, showcasing both Crafty's unique production ability with a collection of emotive yet rave-ready instrumentation, coupled with encapsulating lyricism and raucous performances. The project shows so much variety, from the incredible sing-along hook of 'Sincerely, Crafty 893' and 'Back It' alongside Big Zuu, to the more classic grimey flavours of 'Goods' and the 'My Headspace' freestyle. It's somewhat of a masterpiece and we feel that Crafty is well overdue his flowers, with our favourites including the choppy drum rolls of 'Get Down' and of course the unforgettable reload flavour of 'Wotless' alongside the legendary Sir Spyro.

Review: Following up his previous release in quick succession, we see another Spooky Bizzle drop land in store, this time presenting a full length LP drop. The project consists of 12 absolute scorchers, showcasing and explaining just how important Spooky has been to grime as both a DJ and producer over the years. From the skippy drum textures of the title track 'Moonlight', to the almost 80's inspired synth work of 'The Care Bears Nightmare' and then back to the mellow bass slides of 'Hot Shot', this album will definitely hold a few surprises for a lot of people. There is however one clear stand-out from the project, and with it's release being so highly anticipated, it would be wrong to not bring up 'Peckham To Hackney' with Boylan, one of the strongest instrumental grime collaborations of the last 10 years.
