London-based lyricist and Natural Born Spittaz member Mystro makes a welcome return with his latest project, the succinct, hard-hitting EP “F.D.T.” a.k.a. “F**k Da Taxman”.

“F.D.T.” finds the usually good-natured Mysdiggi moving in a moodier direction with both the content of his rhymes and his choice of beats. Having largely made his name packing upbeat homegrown anthems such as 2003’s “My Type Of Party” with his trademark humorous punchlines, “F.D.T.” displays a different side to Mystro as both an artist and as an individual. That’s not to say the always affable emcee has completely abandoned the funky, fun-fuelled flavour that fans have come to expect from him, but on this release Mystro has a few issues he wants to address, and if that means stopping the party for a moment so that people pay attention, then so be it
