Kid Acne's new album 'Romance Ain't Dead' is here and if you fancy a bit of Northern fuelled lo fi crazy hip hop then this is your guy. Part of thinks he's completely rubbish but I think I'm just in that sort of mood today.... Ask me tomorrow and I might think it's OK. It's got some catchy bits on it though. I can't help but feel it's all a bit novelty though. I'm undecided.... I'll go and play it more....Sheffield’s Kid Acne releases his debut album for a major label, with support building from key hip hop press into mainstream.The first ever UK rap album on Lex Records! Includes the singles ‘Eddy Fresh’, ‘Worst Luck’ (“One of the singles of the year” - Artrocker) and ‘Sliding Doors’. The album features production by Fat Truckers (of M.I.A. fame). “Chock-full of brilliant deadpan gobbiness set to smart old school beats” - Observer Music Monthly.“Thirty minutes of witty, touching and totally boombastic music. Fingers crossed this could be a springboard to achieving notoriety on a national scale” – Fact. “If you don’t have a copy by now you’re deaf, an idiot, poor or all of these. That’s all I’ll say on the matter” – HHC
