A true UK original returns to the soundsphere, as rap icon Devlin unleashes his highly anticipated project Eyes For The Blind – a timeless body of sound displaying issues in modern society, shadowed by ignorance and misguidance.

After dropping a plethora of singles in 2021 including a chilling Mixtape Madness feature, the London-based rapper shifts his vision onto 2022 with his full-length piece Eyes For The Blind — an album bursting with raw musicality and instinctive real rap lyricism backed by a cut-throat message about the downfalls of street life. Illustrating the euphoric feeling of breaking down confinements in society and truly living for the now. Infectious instrumentals lay perfect bedding for Devlin’s classic storytelling bars.<

The 14-track project experiments with many sounds influenced by its lyrics and subliminal messages. Tracks like “Air I Breath” ft Jimmy Sharp and “All We Have Is Now” highlight road life and how the youth of society could be wasting their full potential - through soulful layered vocals and intoxicating rhyme schemes that create a cathartic energy release. The track “Home” enlists one of the hottest artists of 2021 in Potter Payper. Known for his unmatched lyrical aptitude and street storytelling, Payper adds a breath of fresh air as the two trade bars behind a bouncing bassline and synthetic piano riffs. The whole LP takes many shades and forms while Devlin’s hard-hitting bars and devilish flows stay at a maximum, displaying why he’s considered one of the very best MC’s to grace the UK scene.
