“soulful British rapper barely puts a foot wrong on introspective second album”
“J Hus is blazing a trail for everyone else to follow”
“J Hus’s 2016 outing Common Sense was pivotal in evolving contemporary British urban music, bringing African R&B influences into London’s admixture of grime and dancehall. After a second stint in prison (for carrying a knife), Hus re-emerges a more thoughtful figure on his second album. He’s still hiding from “the feds” on Helicopter, still “reckless, reckless”. But the way in which he switches flu”
“The London rapper’s second album is smoother, preciser, and more measured. We see J Hus as a lost son of Gambia, an adult-in-progress, a talented pop polymath, and just a guy who has a lot of sex.”
