Fekky review: a cocksure debut from the south London grime star

El Clasico – a classic "in every language", apparently – is a guide to south Londoner Fekky's rise to fame, from working in a cash'n'carry as a teenager to respected grime artist.

"Just done a show in Ireland, girls in the front row tryna eye man," he spits on RNOT. Add to that his bravado on Say No More, and his debut is a cocksure affair.

El Clasico relies on a host of grime MCs, including Skepta and Giggs, to carry some songs. It's also an ode to garage, the genre that started it all. Neutrino (of Oxide and Neutrino) make a guest appearance on Avirex. And when he veers into a dancehall/r'n'b sound with Shakka on My Size, his ego has the space to really impress.
