Stiff Lauren can be compared to number of well-known resonant voices in the game, however he’s a different beast entirely. Not only does he demonstrate his ear for sound on but his ability to write music.
Stiff can deliver a catchy song without compromising his integrity for radio-play or to be a mainstream artist, in fact his songs appear to be effortlessly written while still appealing to either side of the spectrum- the hardcore Hip-Hop fans and those who enjoy the Top 40 hits.
“Faith In Me” is a prime example of this. It features Stiff Lauren delivering a pure Rap experience over a driving beat only to be fused with a brilliant chorus which enhances the song, while crossing that line of being just being one thing or the other. The inspired beat swirls, pulsates and bounces while Stiff growls and spits his rhymes with ease.

Stiff Lauren has managed to create a brand new track that was worth the wait.

But Stiff holds his own, and shows that it’s a war he can easily fight and quite possibly win. “Faith In Me” is an honest experience, it’s Stiff Lauren in beast mode, and just like the individual himself, it’s positive and enthralling.
