![Typikal - The Mighty Pessimist LP [Subfriction Records]](http://www.britishhiphop.co.uk/images/stories/typikal/typikal-the_mighty_pessimist-frontpage.jpg "Typikal - The Mighty Pessimist LP [Subfriction Records]") Glaswegian hip hop label Subfriction finally presents East Kilbride born Typikal's, debut album entitled The Mighty Pessimist. Its somewhat a look inside the mind of the average Scottish, twenty-something's, man. As the title suggests, Typikal takes us through a journey of everything that grinds his gears, gets on his nerves, and just downright pisses him off. Tales of late teenage years of indulgence quickly become stories of growing up, struggling to make a wage, and preparing for fatherhood.

Far from being just another Romeo + Juliet knock-off, though, Dominic Savage's film deals with the reality of cultural intolerance and double standards spawning from peer influence; and how they can hinder interracial relationships between young people living in our society today.
