Featuring guest appearances from Roots Manuva and Micachu, UK rapper Speech Debelle’s debut has already garnered a Mercury Prize nomination.

An introspective, emotionally stark offering, Speech Therapy finds the young hip-hop artist exploring every facet of her own psyche, revealing the highs and lows that come from love, heartbreak, homelessness, and recognition. The album was produced by musical innovator Wayne Lotek after the two met at the offices of pioneering record label Big Dada.
