REVIEW: Tempa - Spitfire


Tempa from Birmingham gives JDZmedia his Spitfire. Tempa is an established Birmingham artist and is one of the "Fantastic Five" that come together to form the Livewire collective.

Mr. XL comes with an XL flow in this Spitfire as always. Seemingly in every recent Tempa video his flow seems to be on point with real talk and smartly structured bars. The flow seems to move into the next bar efficiently and without forcing the flow compared to other MC's. Tempa certainly shows why he is a Trendsetter in the Birmingham grime scene and his bars are all catchy frequently seeing them posted as tweets on Twitter.

Tempa in my opinion is one of the strongest overall artists within the Birmingham grime scene however my only criticism of him is that the work rate lacks sometimes which is said for the most part of the Livewire team as in reality they could do a lot more and be a lot bigger than they are. You can follow Tempa on Twitter by getting at him through @TempaOnline and it was mentioned on Silk City that he has a project coming which is in the pipeline I certainly look forward to that.
