Moving, recently, from Coventry to London, Obaro Ejimiwe has made the same Midlands-to-capital migration as the man who's done more than any other in the last decade to add emotional weight and depth to British rap. Mike Skinner's a huge Ghostpoet fan, but on "Cash & Carry Me Home" it's the lazy drawl of another Streets devotee that springs quickest to mind—with talk of being lonely and half-drunk and then lost in subsequent headaches, the track comes on like an early Jamie T demo. Kano's there, too, swimming in the cloudy soundworld Obaro has built out of lost pirate radio bass bumps and Valium grime synths, but it's the slack-mouthed spit of its creator that will stay with you the longest. Find more of the same on Ghostpoet's debut album Peanut Butter Blues & Melancholy Jam, out now via Gilles Peterson's Brownswood imprint.
