Synopsis

Album Details

"upwards" and the Stakes have Most Definitely Been Raised. It's an Album that Has Something to Say and Pushes the Form but Yet is Still Instantly Accessible, Funny and as Much as Anything Else, Heartfelt, a True Expression of Hip Hop Culture. With Guest Including Legendary Afrobeat Drummer Tony Allen, Michelle Escoffery, Bembe Segue, Breis and Shortman, "Upwards" Shows Hip Hop's (And Ty's) Ability to Both Reflect and Transcend It's Surroundings, Without Ever Forgetting the Music's Roots in the Party. A Unique Achievement, this Uncompromising, Beautiful Record is Already Being Muttered About as a Classic-in-waiting by Those who have Heard It.

CD Reviews

Killer uk-hop anthems!

jazz_of_prodigyzone | Sofia, Bulgaria | 11/30/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"To all UK Hip Hop lovers: This IS IT! Possess it immediately!
To all Hip Hop lovers: Take it and taste the best of what hip hop can and should be.
To all music lovers: have some of the best music around for the last 10 years.Now, diving in. If you're in love with SUB BASS, smart lyrics and killer beat this is your album.
It's mine, definitely (after a century of restless waiting :) ).Ty gives us the best of British hip hop with dub feel around.
Excellent jumpy cartoonish feel meets super intelligent serious music making. Plus you get a good set of deep and sharp and pretentious lyrics.Upwards is very energizing, very atmospheric; it's great for charging yourself up. You jump to your feet and start moving. It possesses and overwhelms with Massive Music Production. Killer Killer Killer Sound. Truly Mastercrafted.If you like ragga, dub, hop, whatever, just don't miss this one. Next level hop. If you like Big Dada (a Ninja Tune Label) and/or Roots Manuva especially, you don't need more recommendations. Ty's voice timbre makes the feeling unique. The album uncompromisingly demonstrates Ty's progress as an artist and a boundary pusher. His lyrics and subterranean bass make your listening a WHOA of experience.Bully sounds, ruffian, brutal ragga meet flyhigh colourful melodies to make you exhilarated. Ty's Upwards is a winning performance. Experimental and yet carrying light and making a huge party.Favourite tracks: Ha Ha (KILLER OPENING TRACK!!!), Look For Me, Music to fly to.Attention: Stakes may go up so high with Upwards that you'll become a tough customer - hardly approving of any upcoming hop musical material. Ty gives you the highest in music. Music to fly to."
