Fresh out of the metropolis that is the city of Manchester comes the new ganja-rap crew ‘the Bluntskins’ made up of rappers Bill Sykes and Cheech alongside producer Pro P. Bill and Cheech, far from your average everyday stoners, spit over thirteen originally produced tracks featuring some of Manchester’s best current hip hop artists culminating in a sixteen man posse cut reflecting the crew’s huge web of affiliation throughout the city. The album kick starts with ‘roll up’, a full frontal assault on the audio canals that introduces the listener to the Saliva-laced world of the Bluntskins.
