Jim Legxacy - black british music (2025)
Black British Music (2025) is Jim Legxacy’s XL Records debut and his boldest statement yet. It expands beyond his lo‑fi moodboard roots, weaving together emo guitar textures, grime bravado, Afrobeat rhythms, and punk‑pop urgency into concise yet expansive vignettes. His vocal range—from rap to tender falsetto—narrates stories of grief, identity, and displacement with poetic economy (“On the block, I was listening to Mitski”). Tracks like “Father”, “New David Bowie”, and “3x” exemplify his ability to blend intimate vulnerability with chaotic production. While some moments feel stylistically dense or derivative, the project remains a potent reflection of Black British identity and artistic lineage. At its best, it offers emotional catharsis through genre-agnostic experimentation—Legxacy asserts himself as a shapeshifting voice forging a new musical frontier.
