I’m losing my religion to tomorrow’s headlines... is the one line that captures what the debut album from young talented rapper, Riz MC, is all about. 3 years in the process and 10 deep tracks later, we have something that in modern times is quite difficult to find; an album that combines realism and truthful rap with prodigious beats and in some cases, hauntingly emotive harmonies, delivering to
the audience exactly what we need in times where people are seemingly losing themselves to the society that surrounds us.

Riz MC caused major controversy back in 2006 with his track Post 9/11 Blues, which took an honest yet satirical stance on the issues raised by the attacks on the Twin Towers in New York City. Some people took well to his approach and others didn’t, but I guess that is something to be expected when you talk about things that most people are too afraid to talk about.

This is what makes Riz MC different to many artists out there; he’s brave, truthful and completely true to himself. In an industry where people are happy to conform to a generic mould, Riz has made
his very own and I'm sure that this album has the power to turn the people who once doubted him, into true fans of the Riz MC style of rap.

For all these reasons and many more, you need to get onto iTunes and purchase the brilliant debut album MICroscope, available to download from today at £6.99 its a small price to pay for a little slice of truth in times where we don’t get much of it, don’t you think?
