"Quite apart from Gaika's bracing lyrics, the sound of his voice alone makes the Brixton MC the most arresting British rapper of his generation. Heavily accented with a Caribbean twang, it's a combination of the Congos' and Horace Andy's vibrato-laden dub croon, Future's psychically troubled rambles, Young Thug's improvisatory melody, Tricky's calm snarl, and the fierce focus of drill's new school. And yet it is entirely his own, with the declamatory tone of a soapbox preacher who won't break eye contact with you".
