shawn jackson Brand New Old Me (CD, £12.50)

Shawn Jackson's previous solo album "First of All…" created quite a buzz, especially with strong tracks such as "Feelin' Jack". It's been 2 years since that release, so the time has come for him to make more noise and show his brand new old self. Jackson, also known for his work with Alex Newman (Giant Panda) to form the group New Jack Hustle, has been constantly putting in work. From the change he's gone through over time to the types of sticky green leaves he prefers, Shawn shares his thoughts in this smooth yet staccato like flow matched with his clever ad libs. He also shares the mix with a few guests such as Thurzday, of U-N-I, and Co$$.
