JAY BIZZY - The Ghost of Jacob Marley [URBNET Records]
posted by: Scott C



Jay Bizzy is part of the next wave of Halifax MCs that are busting out of the East in a big way. The Ghost of Jacob Marley is a 16-track piece featuring production from some of the usual suspects, namely Classified, Jorun, Beatmason and Dexter Doolittle. Bizzy gets busy on the mic, spitting largely confident rhymes that sometimes dip into played territory on songs like “Smoke Cheeba” and “The Party Crasher.” He kills it on the title track with tight verses from beginning to end, topped with a sweet beat from Jorun. Honourable mentions go to the final track “My Day,” as well as the untitled bonus track, where Jay Bizzy shows clear signs of things to come. 7.5/10
