MO, the latest album from British rapper and actor Ashley Walters, is a bold and confident statement of his talents as a musician. The album showcases a range of styles and influences, from the gritty, streetwise sound of tracks like "It's Real" and "On Me" to the more introspective and melodic moments of "Time" and "All I Need".
Throughout the album, Walters' lyrics are sharp and incisive, touching on themes of personal struggle, social injustice, and the complexities of modern life. His flow is tight and precise, shifting effortlessly between rapid-fire rhymes and more laid-back, conversational cadences.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Still Here", a powerful tribute to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The song features a haunting piano melody and a heartfelt vocal performance from Walters, who delivers lines like "I've been through the fire, but I'm still here / I've been through the rain, but I'm still here" with real emotion and conviction.
