Quotes on ‘Grown Man Business’ -
"Both these artists are carrying the torch for the new sound of the UK music scene and both are doing a damn fine job at that" - Sickbuoy (inthemix.com.au)
"This album can be viewed as British hip hop's Be; a strong, soulful and succinct album amidst countless other releases lacking these qualities" - Joshua Hayes (Xpress Mag)
"Nothing feels put on, contrived or master planned. It feels honest. Working class, yet worldly. I’m so glad that some of the people I admire musically don’t fuck up their shit by chasing current sounds" - Idiot Proof (3D World)
"For those who dig the UK sound and even for those who don’t always give this a listen, your ears will thank you." - Clayton Bennett (ozhiphop.com)
