Online Review: Tinie Tempah – Happy Birthday EP

10 Jan 2:13 pm

Perhaps in parallel with the title, this project is a celebration of cross-country collaborations as Tinie Tempah uses his growing stature to link up with international superstars like Soulja Boy and J.Cole. The calibre of the talent on this tape is unprecedented and every single artist comes through with total commitment, making this one of the sickest mixtapes in a while. It is true that there are only eight songs on this EP putting quantity into question but Tinie more than makes up for this in quality; what he does which so many other artists fail to do is ensure every track is un-skippable. We told you it would be big just before xmas and the music on Happy Birthday EP gives the listener no reason to move onto the next item.
