Killa Kela - Elocution (Spit Kingdom)
July 26th, 2006
With most of the beats on this album coming from the mouth of highly respected beat boxing maestro Killa Kela (second only to Rahzel), Kela’s second album finally properly shows the potential he has for a potent pop/hip hop artist in his own right.
‘Supergrass’ slinks along like an underground Justin Timberlake, ‘Submarines’ is an uneasy underground treat featuring Roots Manuva whose arrival on a track always involves thrills and Neneh Cherry’s long awaited slow return continues on the highlight track ‘Feminine’
Although slightly overlong and sometimes it sounds like Killa is suffering from chronic dyspepsia, ‘Elocution’ is mainly a satisfying and inventive listen. 7/10
