From the L.A. scene around the Low End Theory club (see too: Flying Lotus, Gaslamp Killer…). After three real cassettes, ‘Rap album one’ is finally finished.

Right off the bat, Britain's Mojo on this American rap-producer talent: '4*/5...maximum attention on his deadpan DOOM-ish flow... wildly talented bearded savant as a potential game-changer.'

Or, possibly even better, SVS in De Standaard, also with a 4*/5 ranking: 'Jonwayne is a white Californian rapper-producer who looks like a nerdy Hells Angel with hippie allures. Rap album one, his debut, puts stripped-down grooves full of treacherous static, electronic jamming-stations, and stuttering vocal samples under his stoic baritone raps. One minute he's throwing around WuTang Clan-like metaphors, then the next minute he's switched to a Busta Rhymes-like rage, but his flow always grabs you by the throat. The keyboards sound false, the drum computer is broken, the bass is drunk, but Jonwayne squeezes the very last bit of life out of them. A hard nut, one worth cracking.'
