This collabo between Res, Talib Kweli and Graph Nobel honestly left me a little underwhelmed, but I’ll be happy if it brings Res back into the limelight and releasing music again.

The first of three free mixtapes to precede Jack Splash’ J Records official album release.

Download Jack Splash – Heir To The Throne

At first listen, Jack Splash’s lyrics are glitzy & inspired by living the life. But with an open ear, the differences between the mixtape and Jack’s previous work with Plantlife are apparent. Before the glamor there was the grind, evidenced on “Baatin.” There was the study of musical styles that you hear in the words & sounds used for “Charlie Wilson” & “Rick James.” If you listen closely, you’ll hear the words and sounds from the guy who had a hand in finding Keys and crafting a Legend. The guy who shaped the sounds of Missy and Jamie. The guy who influenced anybody famous enough to go by one name.

Now, after manning the boards and creating for so many others, it’s time to meet Jack. Watch for the forthcoming album Technology and Love Might Save Us All… coming spring 2010 on J Records. For now, enjoy Heir To The Throne Vol. 1.

To be honest I’m not sure about this cat. I feel like it’s a case of some great white over-hype. The production is great, but his nasal-y, ho-hum rapping, and even more nasal-y ’singing’ is not anything to write home about. I’ll take Colin Munroe over this because at least dude seems authentically himself. Outasight still feels like he’s finding himself, like he’s just trying on hip-hop to see how it fits.

1. Time Machine Intro (feat. Holley Monelle) (Produced by 6th Sense)
