Juice Aleem is a pseudonym of Aleem Edmead, long-acknowledged as one of the finest MCs the UK has ever produced, finally goes solo. The sometime New Flesh and Gamma frontman who has also worked with many, including: Coldcut, Hextstatic, Evil 9 and Adam Freeland.
There’s no pretence with Juice Aleem – the working title of his latest album was “This Is Not For Everyone”. If you’re not interested in lyrical intelligence, in hip hop, in MCs with something to say, in Blackitude’s skank-funk, in ragged intellect, in ideas, in difference, in coming correct, then you may as well give him a miss. It’s an over-used phrase, but in terms of what hip hop is supposed to be about, Juice Aleem is the real deal. If you prefer the fake deal, the trendy bullshit, constant novelty without substance, then turn off now.
