You do wonder if [b]Bizzle[/b] ever regrets letting himself be adopted so completely as the indie nation’s mascot rapper. Yes, he completely tore apart the rammed-up tents at this year’s Reading and Leeds (the unfortunate bizznizz at Download two years ago thankfully seems a one-off). But all that sidling up to [b]Doherty[/b] made him look a bit of a douche within his own scene, with the grime hardcore looking to the likes of [b]P Money[/b], [b]Young Spray[/b] and [b]Ice Kid[/b] for the ‘real shit’.

Lethal is back. And he's got unfinished bizzle: at least three times he reminds us that he's returning with a third solo record. But rather than Going Hard as the title intones, the Walthamstow MC continues on the pop-ish bent of 2007's Back to Bizznizz and features the king of quacking brass sections himself, Mark Ronson, plus an unimaginative take on House of Pain's Jump Around.
