Rain in England is the second studio album by American rapper Lil B, released through Weird Forest on September 21, 2010. Produced by Lil B under his persona "The Based God", Rain in England is unusual for the hip hop genre because it has no percussive beats. Instead, Lil B raps over new-age-style synthesizer music. The lyrical style, which finds Lil B speaking on topics like family, love and death, has been noted for its sincerity and reflectiveness.
The album had a mixed reception upon release; some critics and artists praised its unorthodox musical and lyrical content, while others were left baffled. According to Louis Pattison of The Guardian, the album "transcended familiar notions of good and bad, being one of the most peculiar rap albums ever pressed".[1]
