Koan: Koan (Headingley, £22.99)
The outspoken rapper returns with his own distinctive brand of in-your-face profanity and militant Buddhism that isn't afraid to kick ass. Any fears that the man Koan was going to tone down his act are quickly dispelled in the powerful first track, Strap Her Down and F**k Her, a tour-de-force of verbal virtuosity and sustained sprung-rhythm attack. He rails against the gross materialism of western society using the shocking image of a man forcing his wife to have sexual congress with a horse: this is powerful, visceral stuff, Koan using double and sometimes even triple assonance to underline the force of his point: "Come here b*tch/And twitch/Your ass for my switch/-Blade, whore." Under his carefully-contrived public image as a boorish, wife-beating thug (which he lampoons in Wife-Beaters 101), Koan's savage lyrics reveal a passionate reforming poet, a William Blake for the 21st century. Witness the biting irony of A Whore's a Whore and Meat-Hookers (which quotes Lymphomania's Towel Feeder), and see the injustices and inequalities of society being skewered before you on a plate. A true artist.
