Ancient scripture told of a man, a myth, a legend, who wielded the mic like it was attached to the back of his weapon. His words, razor sharp, could create unhealable wounds, his flow unassailable, his beats incorruptible. In 2021, he’s reincarnated in the form of two men: Jordan Dennis and JUJO, a creative yin and yang who, together, represent perfect, deadly harmony. This year, FLYBOY JACK cometh, like an ancient, unforgiving plague — and they’re taking no prisoners. Although both known individually for their deft, insurmountable skill — Jordan for his rubbery, nonporous flow and rapidfire lyrics, JUJO for beats that ping, sway, and swell as if existing outside the laws of physics or reason — there’s a creative frisson that arises when the pair unite that’s hard to beat. Issue Zero, their debut mixtape as Flyboy Jack, displays that frisson from its first seconds, introducing the pair as descendants of cutthroat, wild-eyed duos like Clipse, Outkast, or Run The Jewels.
