Album Review

Bay Area rapper the Jacka spent his 2008 on mixtapes and collaboration albums, working those circuits so hard that you'd think he'd have nothing left for his high-profile 2009 release, Tear Gas. It's a bit of an uneven effort and the layout is all wrong — opening with the hazy, lazy "Summer" just feels weird — but overall it's a surprising success, especially when taking his abundant output into account. Jacka is a confident, talented, and believable gangster with a newfound hunger to cross over, something that seems much more possible here than on his respected 2006 album, Jack of All Trades. The Traxamillion-produced "Glamorous Lifestyle" is the club track to pick with its loose and easy hook, one that's perfectly tailored for Jacka's quick delivery and his light, arguably weak voice. What he lacks in verbal punch, he makes up for with consistent rhymes and remarkable flow, the former making "They Don't Know" a highlight, while the latter enriches the spaced-out feel of "Keep Callin'" with Devin the Dude on the assist. Even if the guest list is big, Jacka is in command, and with Traxamillion, MG, and Roblo behind the boards, Tear Gas is a worthy trip through the more chilled-out sections of the Bay.

cool album
     
by Anthony Koutsos

With his third studio release, The Jacka gives us another great album like nothing he's done before. Tear Gas is easily The Jacka's most accessible/mainstream project to date. Before you panic, let me say I mean that in the absolute best way possible. Tear Gas is a gem, that significantly deviates from the sound of prior alums such as his freshmen classic The Jack Artist. Even in todays hip hop climate, Tear Gas is an album that could do numbers nationwide, but as is often typical of Bay Area artist, the Jack is overlooked. The album is a bit feature heavy, but with good reason. The Jacka reached out to a multitude of artist, ranging from out of state features like Freeway, to independent west coast acts such as Mitchy Sick and Planet Asia and Zion I, all while staying true to mob roots with traditional figa features such as Cormega, Andre Nickatina, and Ampachino. Tear Gas is an album that will please most long time mob figa fans as well as appeal to first time listeners nationwide.

The wait is over.
