Method To The Maadness

2010 release, the fourth album from the British Grime star. Kano surpasses the already sky-high standards set by his previous output with Method to the Maadness, his most accomplished, heavyweight offering yet. His lyrics, which remain characteristically entertaining throughout, touch on the funny and fun-loving, yet also explore darker, more reflective territory via the record's recurring theme of madness. Sonically, it is unashamedly built on Hip Hop foundations and incorporates Dancehall, Grime and synthetic, electronic sounds to devastating effect. With a sterling supporting cast, including Damon Albarn, Berlin's Boys Noize, Diplo, Chase & Status, Hot Chip Jamaican dancehall stars Aidonia and Vybz Kartel, fellow grime graduates Ghetts and Wiley as well as South African born Michelle Breeze and her newly formed band Why Why Peaches.
