South Korean hip-hop producer Jerry.k set up his indie label Soul Company as an incubator for new talent years before grabbing the mic himself. On his hit 2012 album True Self, the MC unleashed a smooth flow with hints of grit—songs like the Zion.T collaboration "You're Not a Lady" feature a velvety R&B beat and propulsive rhymes that kick some dirt into the mix. That edge has just sharpened; the fierce 2016 collab "No Role Models" is a down-and-dirty, cranked-up kiss off, while quirky electro cut "#MicTwitter" leans into frenetic, robotic samples, demonstrating this artist's fresh vision.
