'beats, treats and all things unique' is the debut album by fast rising star benji boko. with a diverse roster of collaborators including maxi jazz (faithless), ricky rankin (roots manuva) and boko's seven-year-old cousin, who you'll hear on intro and outro duties, the album is out on tru thoughts. the album explores a wide spectrum of influences, and yields an equally diverse selection of sounds; from the deep, evocative beat of the single which is complemented by maxi jazz's inimitable soul-felt vocals, through the hypnotic instrumental track, 'glider'. then at the other extreme - more in line with the relentless energy of his dj set - is 'no 1 sound', which has a really 'live' vibe, as ricky rankin freestyled the whole thing. dotted around the album are a host of little skits, each with its own charm, including 'i had a dream (mini obama)', inspired by a fortune-telling vinyl record found in a charity shop.
