| the critics | The Guardian: "His genius lies in pitching his records just right: he injects these songs with enough grit to interest hip-hop fans, without scaring the pop audiences his catchy hooks are designed to ensnare. It's ruthlessly effective, though difficult to love." | The N.Y. Times: "A bruiser with a sandpapery voice, he was a reliable teller of corner-boy tales and, it seemed, a willing cog. But his 2007 solo debut album, Welcome to the Zoo, revealed a burgeoning oddball ear." |
