It’s difficult to create an image or style that hasn’t previously been replicated or pigeonholed in the world of Hip-Hop. So enter Jonski, a U.K-based lyricist who refuses to fit the stat quo in the current urban music world. Neither a battle rapper, deep-thought poet or thug-like artist, Jonski fills the void that the crowd have been begging for. A conscious, social-aware musician Jonski will be releasing his album “Concrete Jungles” on 30th August 2010, which is something we should all be looking to support. You can view the artwork for Jonski – Concrete Jungles below.

The sixteen-track strong album has been described as “gritty, electropinl pop and alternately veering between the dark and light”.
