Let's stay in the United Kingdom but change musical genres entirely.
It's pretty hard for me to enjoy a good Hip-Hop song, as most of my favorite have a Dubstep beat behind. But Just Jack is different from the RnB infected Rap we hear nowadays, and it is good to know that some talented artists are still able to come back to the basics of Hip-Hop: meaningful lyrics, with good music. Most Hip-Hop nowadays is extremely hypocritical, as you hear an auto-tuned millionaire who raps about how hard it is in the ghetto, or even worse talking mysoginistis sh*t. Now I'm not trying to degrade Rap in its entirety, but you have to admit it was much better in the 90s.
Jack Christopher Allsopp, born in Camden Town (my favorite place in London, very underground culture), has imposed himself with his great flow and distinctive British accent. Over the last decade, he has released three albums, revolving around many different subjects such as fame and dealing with it. In his second album named "Overtones", he goes through the life of a rising star, strating with the "Writer's Block" meaning the difficulty to write, going through the first audition in "Starz in Their Eyes", as well as the "Glory Days".
Here is my favorite song from this album.
Enjoy
Writer's Block - Just Jack
