Review by Wendy Hannah

Album Review: Never Heard Of That by The Purist Featuring Tree Yo, let me tell ya about this gem I stumbled across—Never Heard Of That. It’s one of those albums that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. Released back in 2013, it’s a UK hip-hop project from The Purist, with features from the legendary Tree. If you’re into raw beats and lyrics that hit different, this is your jam. First off, shoutout to Will Prince for the artwork—it's simple but kinda sticks with you, like graffiti on a wall you walk past every day. And props to The Purist as the producer because, man, he really brought some heat here. This ain’t no mainstream fluff; it’s more like late-night headphone music, the kind that makes you nod your head even if you didn’t mean to. Now, lemme break down two tracks that got me hooked. First up: “Never Heard Of That (Instrumental).” Yo, this beat? Straight fire. It’s moody, jazzy, and has this gritty texture that feels alive. Like, you can almost hear the streets breathing through the speakers. No lyrics needed—it just speaks for itself. Every time I play it, I feel like I’m walking through London at dusk, rain hitting the pavement, lost in my thoughts. Crazy how an instrumental track can do that, right? Then there’s the main version of “Never Heard Of That,” where Tree jumps in. Dude’s flow is so smooth it’s almost hypnotic. He doesn’t try too hard, which is what makes it work. His voice rides over the beat like they were made for each other. There’s something real about his delivery, like he’s spitting truths only he knows. You don’t just listen to this track—you feel it. Honestly, after hearing him spit bars, I kept rewinding just to catch lines I missed the first time around. What gets me most about this album is its vibe. It doesn’t scream for attention or try to be something it’s not. Instead, it sits back, confident in its own skin, letting the music do the talking. Daupe! did good putting this out—it’s clear they cared about quality over hype. But here’s the thing: albums like this remind me why I fell in love with hip-hop in the first place. They’re not perfect, polished products—they’re snapshots of creativity, moments frozen in time. Listening to Never Heard Of That feels like finding a mixtape someone left behind, and suddenly you’re connected to their world. Oh, and random thought—I bet The Purist would kill it scoring a movie soundtrack. Just saying. So yeah, give this album a spin if you want something authentic. It’s not gonna blow up the charts or anything, but maybe that’s the point. Some things are better appreciated quietly, ya know?
