Returning to the scene following a string of significant drill cuts that firmly placed him as a rising London talent, J-Racks’s sharp, potent lyricism across relentless instrumentals emerges as an unconventional breath of fresh air. Shining authority and cruddy bars on full display, ‘Free Flow 2’ returns as the successor of smash single ‘Free Flow’ (1M streams on Spotify). The Slim Typical (M24, Wiley, RV) produced record serves up an array of woozy 808s and snappy drill percussion, while the young talent incites familiar flows from affiliate rappers across the UK sound sphere – mixing them sonically to fully showcase an artist at the peak of his versatile ability, possessing both natural rap talent and a crystal-clear lyrical aptitude.
Despite only nine tracks across his discography so far, J-Racks has quickly amassed a cult following – his vigorous persona catching the attention of UK heavyweights M1llionz and Ivorian Doll, as he edges into the mainstream spotlight with key play time from Snoochie Shy on BBC 1XTRA. Sitting on well over 3M streams and 40K monthly listeners has empowered acclaim across the likes of GRM DAILY, DUMMY, MIXTAPE MADNESS, EQUATE, 9BILLS and WORDPLAY MAGAZINE.
With further releases promised this year, J-Racks is primed and ready to take 2022 by storm – as we anticipate another standout year for an artist displaying all the street authenticity to bring him further tastemaker attention.
‘Free Flow 2’ is available now via all major platforms.
