SEPTEMBER Reign is being called a mixtape, though the difference between this and a real album is moot. Sixteen tracks long, it begins with a homage to the MC’s heroes, Jay-Z and Biggie.

The Mith increasingly becomes more daring when he experiments with new rhyme schemes and new tools of wordplay, incorporating sharp alliterations, canny allusions to hip hop classics and vivid imagery of the Kampalan lifestyle.
As I reached halfway the album, I thought this may be both its strongest point and weakness. The Mith is soaring but while that may excite hardcore hip hop fans, will it appeal to the general crossover audience?
But the second part of the CD answers that question. It is only now that we are hearing The Mith of old. He is determined to show you that he is as good as he says he is.
