‘Experimental Art-House UK Hip Hop . a fine example of where UK Hip Hop has been heading . plenty of exciting sonic moments.’

Mixmag (Album Of The Month ****)



‘Creativity flows from this record . if you prefer a challenge . invest. Kudos sir, kudos. Get on it as soon as you can.’

Echoes Magazine (Hip-Hop Album Of The Month and interview ****)



‘.it’s got the lot: venom, funk, sensitivity and soul . raw rhythms and intelligent word play. Roots Manuva and Dizzee Rascal have flown the flag admirably, but this kid’s take on cliché-free hip-hop is an absolute bolt-out-of-the-blue revelation.’

Tilllate Magazine (9/10)



‘Ambitious . elaborate word games and eclectic production, from clipped jazz breaks to grimy electronics, echo the wildstyle invention of US talents such as Aesop Rock.’

Q Magazine



‘.a mighty promising debut. Imbued with an almost impenetrable wall of riddle-loving lines and evocative imagery, it’s quickly apparent that Mowgli boasts lyrics to burn . there’s more than a passing resemblance to Roots Manuva’s weighty delivery . if this is indicative of the life rustling in the country’s rap undergrowth then all hope might not be lost just yet.’

BBC Music



'He is someone who must be listened to by any new age hip hop fan, lyricist, writer, artist or fan of genuine music. Hip hop and beyond. '

www.ukhh.com (Interview and Feature)

‘.fresh innovative sounds and new talent.’

Straight No Chaser Magazine (Nu Skool Feature)



‘.incendiary . some refreshingly complex imagery.’

Shook Magazine



'. it doesn’t sound like anything else. It’s kind of when you first heard Roots Manuva, Ty, or “Original Pirate Material” by the Streets . one of the best Hip-Hop albums to ever come out of the UK.'

www.musicismysanctuary.com



‘Diverse and exciting.’

Sweet And Sound Magazine (Feature and Interview)



'.a mind-altering, perception-changing journey.'

www.certifiedbanger.co.uk



‘.incredible . it doesn’t disappoint.’

www.betterneverthanlate.blogspot.com



‘.impressive debut album . grainy, lo-fi psychedelia and lop-sided musicality of underground US acts such as Madlib and MF Doom.’

The Crack Magazine



‘Reaching for the light from almost impenetrable darkness . Talented UK MC Mowgli is intelligent and insightful . impeccable . expansive, inventive and layered with meaning . at almost 90 minutes it never loses its coherence or vitality.’

The Epoch Times (****)



‘.lyrical mastery . heartfelt lyrics . cryptic social commentary . challenges the boundaries of wordplay, as his intricately crafted rhymes pay homage to true Hip Hop in all its complexity . the mouthpiece for a generation of abandoned youth . any true music enthusiast will be able to appreciate the beauty of an album that even years after purchase still offers something new and fresh.

Mowgli’s first effort certainly raises the bar for UK Hip Hop . brings hope to those subscribing to the notion that Hip Hop is dead’

Open Heart Zoo (****)



'.set to take the scene by the balls and shake it up some, delivering some thought provoking material.'

Disorda (Suspect Packages)



'Mowgli is definitely one to watch for the future.'

www.hiphop4real.net



'.amazing. cut-throat and unique.'

'Mowgli's '93' is some of the best Hip Hop I've heard out of London in a while. It reminds of some of the early Def Jux releases such as Cannibal Ox's 'The Cold Vein' / Aes Rock's 'Labor Days'.'

www.rapandthat.blogspot.com



‘.out right genre-defying.’

www.orpion.com



‘UK emcees listen up, this is how it is done.’

www.juslikemusic.com



‘. revelatory. This slightly surreal, often unnerving word play marks Mowgli out as a street poet of rare excellence. Even if you’re not much of a hip hop fan but long for some dazzlingly inventive wordplay put to challenging music, you’ll find so much to inspire and invigorate you here.’

www.gobshout.com (8/10)



’93 is a daring . challenging album.’

www.rapreviews.com (7.5/10)



‘he pushes the boundaries of hip-hop and takes it that bit further than other emcees dare to go. This is definitely an album for your collection . 93 takes you on a journey that you will want to repeat again and again.’

www.reviewgraveyard.com (8/10)



‘93 is nestled somewhere between Tricky’s ‘Pre-Millennium Tension’ and Rza’s murkier productions, the beats often flittering between the nightmarish, the impish, and the hallucinogenic . reminding of those MCs more concerned with winning the “Hip-Hop Quotables” column of The Source mag than getting on the radio. Mowgli spits machine gun mosaics .’

www.shout4music.com



‘This is 21st century storytelling . Mowgli utilises breathtaking wordplay and internal rhyme. In one sentence, he might accentuate four or five internal rhymes, creating rhythmic syncopations which jump out at you. His vowels and pronunciation are lucid and coherent, and he never gets lazy.’
