He’s a clever writer too, injecting little details that flesh out his time and place. On “P’s & Q’s” and its even better follow up “Reload It”, Kano disassembles the intimidating beats with the calm confidence of a seasoned session guitarist running through some scales. They’re the kind of rappers that make other people start rapping because it just sounds so easy when they do it. Kano fielded a lot of Jay-Z comparisons in his day and for good reason. Throughout, Kano is completely assured in his abilities but not in his future success. It’s certainly not for lack of trying, Home Sweet Home radiates confidence without shirking vulnerability.
Despite being as good a debut as one could hope from Kano, it stiffed at 36 on the album chart, later prompting a wounded Kano to rap “I never sell more than an indie band”. Kano’s debut album Home Sweet Home was the fulfillment of that promise that nobody heard. His “P’s & Q’s” was an ultra-propulsive slab of *** talk that lept out of the already stacked deck that was Run the Road and, on top of it all, he was really good looking. He enunciated, was less anxious than Dizzee, a better rapper than Skinner, had a less confrontational choice of beats, and was confident as all hell at the age of 20. Jumping into a grime scene that seemed to be constantly on the verge of a global breakthrough, he seemed to be just the vanguard that grime needed. In 2005, Kano, born Kane Robinson, was pure potential. ( Lethal Bizzle feat.Review Summary: For Tomorrow: A Guide to Contemporary British Music, 1988-2013 (Part 95)
