    A brilliant old-school hiphop album recommended by the infamous critic Anthony Fantano, aka the Needledrop, even to kpop or bts haters. I think that says a lot and I could not agree more. Give it a try.

    This album is a timeless masterpiece. Insane how every track has a story on its own. It’s not your usual/typical k-pop sound, the genre varies from old school hiphop to r&b. j-hope is a legend and a league on his own.

Thank you for making a good album, not only the melodies but also the message you share. My favorite song of the album was Equal sign.

    The expectations for this album were high and as always, J-Hope did not disappoint! The entire album is very cohesive and each track flows seamlessly with the next. Everything feels and sounds complete and well thought out, and Hobi's vocals are strong and pleasant to the ear throughout, no matter if he's floating on the melody of Equal Sign, or killing it on the gritty sound of Arson.The expectations for this album were high and as always, J-Hope did not disappoint!

    Great album that has an interesting beginning of how it shows you its history and throughout the songs you discover their thoughts. From his own name to the evil of people. Of wanting more and wondering if he continues this path or stops. My favorite song is Future, I really connected with that song.

    Such an amazing album that showcases J-Hopes's abilities and everything he's been trying to express in all these years. Can't wait for 'more' to come.

    The most engaging and musical album of 2022. Grammy worthy..Jhope uses meticulously produced tracks and lyrics to engage the listener in a journey. Excellent musicianship and notable craft. The album is well produced, written, and more importantly was delivered in a beautiful ground breaking performance at Lollapalooza. Keep going Jhope. We love you.

    Whether the music on Jack in the Box suits your taste or not, it’s hard to dismiss this album as an artistic statement rather than just chapter 1/7 of BTS proving they can also make money in ways beyond official group releases.

    The artist born Jung Ho-seok delivers emotional depth and irresistible energy. Backed by rowdy production, his aggression, raspy delivery, and tongue-twisting bars take center stage, showcasing the rap-focused perspective that he brings to the BTS formula.

    There’s an excellent three track run from “What if…,” an energetic song that samples Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s “Shimmy Shimmy Ya,” into mid-tempo standout “Safety Zone” before a touch of Hope World familiarity returns in the optimistic “Future.”
