Example is the latest British rapper tipped to follow Tinchy Stryder and Dizzee Rascal from the underground to the top of the charts. This is what the critics are saying about example which is a massive turnaround for Example. I can remember when i first heard about Example who at the time was signed to Mike Skinners Label ‘The Beat’. The first single i heard was ‘What we Heard’, of his first album. It blew me away and have since seen his music change to a much more diverse type of british music. Now Example is looking to drop his new album which will have the Britney and Kylie producers Metrophonic have been brought in to work on the Fulham rapper’s second album, Won’t Go Quietly, which is due out in January, while Calvin Harris has contributed a track apparently inspired by Wham.
Although this wasn’t his headline show is was still a show to remember. What i like about Example, was how he got the crowd going. He has since got DJ Wire with his performances and had but a new dance edge to his songs. He played a lot of new songs which got the crowd going, and was a teasing taste of what to expect on his new album. Example was on safer ground with older songs, notably the Carpenters-sampling So Many Roads, which was backed by rave synths and rapped in an accent that was part EastEnders barman, part patois.
