about

Taking its name from a historic village in Jamaica’s Cockpit Country, meaning “If I don’t send for you, don’t come for me”, it is clear that on his new EP, ‘Me No Sen You No Come’, Algernon Cornelius is the cultivator of his own newly explored sonic territory. Through 10-tracks the rapper/producer/multi-instrumentalist guides the listener through the experiential dissonance of simultaneously being a product of your psycho-geographical environment and of using these lessons to continue to push against such constraints.

There are moments all over this EP where hope is expressed from this seemingly dissonant position. Nowhere is this made more clear than on the anthemic ‘The Big Wave’, where the influence of contemporaries such as Armand Hammer and AKAI SOLO permeates, as he raps “All of my friends / rose from cement / lonely again / I’m guarding my garden”. Within the psychic omnipresence of the city’s infrastructure, the rapper's wordplay seeks out the cracks where the light gets in.

Algernon Cornelius is using all of the tools at his disposal to provide the map for a nourishing path into the future. Within 17 minutes ‘Me No Sen You No Come’ traverses a sprawling sonic landscape that touches upon both Dean Blunt’s minimalist output on ‘Song for You’ and the digital maximalism of Death Grips on ‘Trainwreck’.

On ‘Guinnel Affairs’, however, the Manchester rapper goes back-to-back with Sheffield’s poet-laureate and rapper, Otis Mensah, to provide one of the EP’s most defiant moments. Soundtracked with warring guitars and marching drums, the Northern pair lyrically explore the alleyways of a crumbling civilisation, seeking out debris to build their own vision.

To anyone that has been following Algernon Cornelius for any amount of time, it is exciting to hear that an artist who constantly seems to be exploring, in search of new possibilities, may have just arrived at what he was searching for.
