Plan B hatches a subtle scheme to save hip hop at large on The Defamation of Strickland Banks. He does so by infusing a healthy bit of soul into a personal, story-laden rap style. The UK singer-songwriter-rapper constructs an intricate narrative on his concept album - The Defamation of Strickland Banks. Plan B's flow is eloquent, elegant, and utterly engaging as he follows the album's hero to hell and back. It's one of the most unique hip hop albums since The Streets' landmark, A Grand Don't Come For Free, and it's bound to be remembered as a modern classic. The Defamation of Strickland Banks has also laid the groundwork for Plan B's next masterpiece, The Ballad of Belmarsh.
