I was recently introduced to Tinchy Stryder by a close friend and I was hesitant to give his album Third Strike a listen. And I am so glad I gave him a chance! Damn this album is good (and that's an understatement). It's not your typical hip hop/rap album by any means. With tracks featuring Alexis Jordan, Swedish singer Eric Turner, Taio Cruz and Alicia Keys' occasional fill in vocalist Bridget Kelly, Tinchy will have you begging him to release this album in the States (of course it's currently only available as an import thru Amazon). The video for the title track Take Over the World ft. Bridget Kelly has a similar power to that of Empire State of Mind, with a driving beat guiding Tincy's rap and Bridget's powerful vocals on the chorus. Could this be the UK's equivalent of the Jay-Z/Alicia Keys team?
