Brooklyn's John David Jackson. The punchline-rap virtuoso who has been quietly putting out perfect mixtapes for two decades — 'Loso's Way' (2009), 'There Is No Competition' series, 'The Soul Tape' series. The melodic singles ('Can't Let You Go,' 'Make Me Better' with Ne-Yo, 'You Be Killin Em') sit alongside some of the slicker mixtape rapping of his generation. Underrated as a writer; the cleanest reference-rap stylist of the 2000s, by reputation.
