JACK TOPHT - "We Can't Go Back Now"

(Cold Rhymes Records, 2017)

 

Jack Topht is a rapper from Buffalo, NY, who has been at it in the game for quite some while. "We Can't Go Back Now" is a new tape from Cold Rhymes Records that attempts to cover the considerable breadth of Jack's work. Calling him a rapper is a bit of a misnomer since he delves into folk and rock styles as well. Jack Topht embraces the DIY aesthetic and lifestyle even as he parodies it (see "Awkward Interactions at Yer Favorite Band's Show"). If you thought humor in hiphop was dead then check out this tape, as each listen will draw you further into Jack Topht's warped world of internet culture shock, Bills fandom, and getting high on beer. Highly recommended if you don't take yourself or hiphop too seriously.
