What a massive disappointment. Demon was one of the sickest MCs to touch mic in grime, whenever he'd draw for "you don't wanna bring arms house!" or "gangsta toys make gangsta noise!" it would be instant reload. Tunes like One Way Flow, Gangsta Toys, Adrenaline Rush and one of the best verses on Pow displayed an MC on his way to the top. When I found out he released Demon's World at grime's peak, I had to hear it.
Shame that it's nearly all shitty rap on G-Unit style beats. Yeah One Away Flow's here, and at the end we get Adrenaline Rush and (an inferior) remix of Gangsta Toys, but it isn't enough to make up for the lameness of this weak US imitation. Some say he switched to hip hop cause he was scared that Chronik would jump him again if he misinterpretted one of his bars. Maybe that's why he stopped writing about breaking your teeth and started writing about generic shit like money. Either that or he thought he'd blow in America with a 5th-rate rap album comingout about 4 years too late to even be significant in this lame Beg for Mercy worship. Either way it's as lame as the cover art. Released in 2006 when grime was at it's best this could have been a classic, but I can assure you it's not worth your money.
Highlight is a short recording of Demon going sick at Sidewinder somewhere in the middle. I'd sooner just catch the original set though, avoid this.
