Reviews - The Mirror

The first classic single of the year from the excellent Outer Marker album.  Camden's Jack Allsopp is like the streets with a deeper musical foundation and more thoughtful lyrics.  This rap is a irresistable mix of a frustrated anger and world weary longing that grooves on a palpitating dub backing.  A terrific record.

NME - Feb

Er, awesome! Like Eminem. Except cockney. Which means it's like The Streets. Only better. Or worse. Who can tell? The radical shock of hearing English accented hip-hop that doesn't totally suck is still so mindblowing that the critical organs are paralysed. Welcome, Just Jack. You rule! But where the hell have you been? Look, us Brits always nice Americam music, do it better and then sell it back to them. It's traditional. It's what makes us British. So how come it's taken so long wiht rap? Eh? 

TIME OUT  Feb

Moody. Mean. Bloody marvellous, actually, like Mike Skinner's gritty rhymes laid over Massive Attack's mardy beats and sumptuous strings. This is folk music, somehow speaking straight from the heart of modern British urban life.
