Rat Boy - Scum [Deluxe] (CD)

N/A

Fresh from selling out London'€™s Roundhouse and being sampled on Kendrick Lamar'€™s huge album DAMN., Ray Boy is finally preparing for the release of his much anticipated debut album, Scum.

The record finds Ray Boy - aka Jordan Cardy - exploring relatable themes of his and his friends'€™ experiences growing up disillusioned in suburban Essex. While the album is united by such concepts, musically he jumps at will between hip-hop, punk, indie anthems, gospel, big beat and bossa nova like a one-man Beastie Boy for the Brexit generation.

The collection also shows Cardy'€™s evolution as a producer and lyricist with several tracks that are established staples of his riotous live show. An early version of Sportswear first appeared on his self-released mixtape from 2014, while other key tracks from his rise to date that appear include the breakthrough single Sign On, follow-ups Fake ID, Move and Get Over It through to the recent single Revolution.

This deluxe edition features the extended 25-track version of the album.
