Ragz Originale - Nature [Album Review]

'With ‘Nature’ London native Ragz Originale has delivered a nuanced debut album which blends an array of styles, such as hip-hop, R&B and electronic music. If you haven’t heard the name before then maybe you’ve heard his work – Ragz produced the infectious smash hit track ‘Shutdown’ with Skepta for the 2016 ‘Konnichiwa’ album.
