Shawn Jackson - First Of All (Review)

To be honest till I heard this album. I've never heard of Shawn Jackson but thankfully I checked out this album. An unexpecting surprise of dope music. This album contains majority of bangers & head-nodders. Shawn Jackson is a very nice MC has tons of talent that is flexed all over this album.

The starter of the album really impressed me as it set the tone as if the album is a concert and the whole album carries that live instrumental vibe. First Of All... is produced by a slew of relatively unknown producer but they all deliver a banger for Shawn Jackson to rip over. The album flows nicely but can get bland if you don't pay absolute attention especially to catch Shawn's tricky wordplay. I couldn't pen-point a number one standout track but the song "Backstage" instantly grabbed my attention. The soul sample followed by a banging beat from Newman then Shawn just went in to rip it down. Besides Backstage theres really no standout on the album. But that really doesn't mean much when the entire album is on par and flow nicely to make one of the better albums this year. But I think it'll grow in popular if it gets time to settle in people's mind.

It's definitely least checking out this album you won't be disappointed but mad cause this album is too short meaning just as the album gets good you left with silence so this album really never had a chance to reach a high point. But besides that their isn't a flaw or noticable flaw in this album. So atleast check it out...

Heres some samples in forms of video...
