I’ve had the Soultape on solid rotation for the past few months and I’m only now realizing the injustice in that you haven’t had the same opportunity. It’s the debut mixtape from Sydney duo JONES Jnr.
Huge vocals? Check. Great samples? You know it. Well crafted beats? A formality. I mean, they should be, given that DJ Morgs of Thundamentals is one half of this duo. The vocals are the big surprise though as Ev Jones delivers a veritable masterclass in the vein of classic soul. I’ve picked to choice cuts from the mixtapes but the whole thing is free so you need not pick and choose, just cop a download of the whole thing right here. Meanwhile, the gents are hard at work on Soultape 2 as we speak.
Very recently a few visuals have started surfacing of the JONES Jnr. live set which is, from all reports, unbelievable. Peep the clip below to get some sense of what goes down.
You’re actually coming upon them at the right time though as they’ll be out in force at FBi Social tomorrow night in support of Future R&B maestro Oscar Key Sung which is a hell of a double header for a cheeky twelve dollars. Do not miss this. You can RSVP here or pre-purchase tickets here.
