The winner of the Barclaycard Mercury Prize 2009 is....
Speech Debelle - 'Speech Therapy'!
'Speech Therapy', the debut album by South Londoner Speech Debelle was released in June 2009 by the influential Big Dada label.
The album features contributions from Micachu, Tunng's Mike Lindsay and label-mate Roots Manuva. It includes the much-praised single "The Key".
"A remarkable new voice in British hip-hop, tough, warm and reflective. Wonderfully supple rhymes and beautifully subtle music."
