UK release date 15.02.2010

Pound Sterling’s latest mixtape dates from around 2007 and is available free as a download. It has its high and low points, which is to be expected from a non-commercial release but at the end of the day, even the weaker tracks show a stronger dedication to rap than most commercial tracks.

‘All around the world’ and ‘A Soldier’s Tale’ are probably the two highlights of the set of songs. It says a lot that Sterling has so much quality material he can afford to give away songs like those featured on Money Before Music. Maybe the title should be the other way round.
