Cold City, the debut album from Dublin hip hop artist/producer Bitter Rocc, is one of the best homegrown hip-hop releases in aeons. The gritty 12-tracker comes from the heart of the working-class estates, and tackles everything from economic collapse to prostitution, poverty and drug abuse, against a tastefully assembled backdrop of smoky rhythms, cut-up samples and floating piano. The album also includes two bonus tracks and exclusive remixes by Dublin based producers MathMan and JackKnife J.
