Rizzle Kicks - Stereo Typical (Music CD)

Graduates of the BRIT School, recent guest stars on X-Factor runner-up Olly Murs' chart-topper, and self-confessed lovers of DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, it's clear from the outset that Jordan "Rizzle" Stephens and Harley "Sylvester" Alexander-Sule -- aka Brighton duo Rizzle Kicks -- aren't your average British hip-hop act. Steering clear of the usual "street" clichés, their debut album, Stereo Typical, is -- thankfully -- as refreshingly playful and unpretentious as you'd hope, given its 14 relentlessly summery tracks that sit somewhere between the flower-power rap of De La Soul and Jungle Brothers and the Lily Allen-fronted ska-pop explosion of the mid-2000s.
