Krept and Konan: 7 Days; 7 Nights review – wild and thrilling talent

South London’s Krept and Konan return with a generous 21-track double mixtape, divided between grime (Days) and R&B raps (Nights). Both playlists have plenty of the wit, grit and authenticity that made them famous, but 7 Days is the runaway winner. The pair spit so hard you can hear saliva smacking microphone metal. Opener Champions League (“You ain’t even in the Prem yet,” they cackle) is an authoritative start, and the following 10 songs confirm their wild and thrilling talent. Robbery’s explosive plosives jab like a champion boxer; the concentrated ferocity of Konan’s LA freestyle is breathtaking; but eight-minute epic Khalas is their Pyramids.
