A positive review of Ghostpoet's I Grow Tired But Dare Not Fall Asleep, praising its genre-blending and communicative strength. The album is described as dystopian in theme and musically varied, incorporating trip hop, post-punk, dub and psychedelia. Noted highlights include "Breaking Cover", "Concrete Pony" and "Nowhere To Hide Now."

For:Listeners of alternative hip hop, trip hop, indie and experimental rock; fans of spoken-word crossover music.

 Obaro Ejimiwe, known as Ghostpoet, a London artist with Nigerian-Dominican origins, has long been, thanks to his alien spoken word, the true heir to the slurred, slacker hip hop of Tricky, as well as a 2.0 hipster on the verge of success and attentive to the right radical chic collaborations.
