The outspoken British rapper slowthai returns with “TYRON” (released on Feb. 12), a striking new album that makes the personal political. Split into two opposing halves, his follow-up to his 2019 début, “Nothing Great About Britain,” tries to measure the extent of his fury and depression. The ferocity, virility, and animus of the first seven songs are offset by the vulnerability and understatedness of the last seven—punk thrash versus alternative subtlety—and in this ongoing balancing act slowthai finds his equilibrium.
