Read More MOBO award winning UK rapper Guvna B has released his new album 'Everywhere + Nowhere'. The new album features his latest single 'Battle', plus a number of special guests. And those guests on here are some brilliant talents, the project includes Wretch 32, Travis Greene, Barney Artist, Ezra Collective and TSB who add their style to the tracks they appear on.

The album opens with Bittersweet, a powerful song about pain, this really spoke to me. Guvna B has always produced powerful songs and this album is no different. Guvna B produces top quality music, driven music that has a distinctive and catchy sound, and 'Everywhere + Nowhere' is no different.

The album at times feels hard, in a sense there is pain coming out of the songs. Previous Guvna B albums have always dealt with issues, but this one seems to go deeper into the artist's heart, with songs like Fall On Me a perfect example of this. But for all the pain in some of the words, Guvna B pushes the listener towards God, this comes over in the track You Never Let Go. The song samples the Matt Redman song of the same name. I love this new version.

As a track 'Battle' again delivers what Guvna B does best, with passionate lyrics, but it's his passion in his rap delivery that is a truly stunning part of this track. On first listen for me it was an instant classic, and I think it will be loved by his fans, but what I actually think after hearing it within the context of the album is that the song means so much more.

There are a few more upbeat tracks on the album like 'These Are The Days', but these are few and far between. This is an album with a message, an important message, just listen to 'Safe Place' and its powerful lyrics.

I sometimes finds it hard to summarise an album, there are many reasons for this, my view is a paragraph can sometimes not do an album justice. What I found when listening to this album is this really could be Guvna B's most important album to date. Guvna B has always put his heart on his sleeve, but this time it feels like he has also put his soul out there for all to see with this release, which is no easy thing for any artist.
