Jack The Ripper
Published 7:00 am Wednesday, June 2, 2010
While first records were once upon a time meant to prove depth and expertise, the recent trend sees artists using their debut to showcase range across varying sounds. Jack The Ripper will admit he had that goal from the beginning for his debut producer LP Don’t Look Back. While some might nitpick at the album’s lack of consistency, its strength is its eclecticism and ability to bounce from braggadocio-laden synth hooks to a rawer hip-hop. And featuring an array of the towns finest emcees including Grynch, Sol, Khingz and Spaceman, all of whom will be performing their contributions, Jacks release party promises a taste of the best Seattle hip-hop has to offer. With Grynch, Spaceman, Sol, Khingz, Rockwell Powers, Hill-B. NICK FELDMAN
