“A great release, the whole project was made in two weeks, built around accapellas and is just so damn creative. Why? Because Beat Thief cleverly uses film documentary dialogue and chops it up to make it work like a boom-bap UK Hip-Hop audio journey. Very impressive and extremely stylish, I love it”
“A great idea that has been pulled off well. The Beat Thief has taken some acapellas and remixed them all on original beats, adding some quality interludes and clever dialogue, all done with a creative edge. Major big-ups to the Beat Thief, his production is quality and his ideas forward-thinking.”
"Beat Thief draws on some of the lesser sampled corners of the musical spectrum which makes for some real fresh vibes... the match between beat and vocal is flawless. At half an hour long this is a great snapshot of what he's capable of."
"Haka has a willingness to explore the fusion of R&B and hip hop and has created an album with a calming tone and laid back feel. His list of featured emcees and composed beats complement each other well and demonstrates his abilities as a solid producer with more to be come in the near future."
“Creating beats that defy logic can’t be simple but Haka makes it sound easy. Haka provides a range of UK MCs with instrumentals that marry the melodic (the strings and keys) and the mucky (the drums). His beats are very high quality, some of the best on the scene.”
“one of those albums that works. The production is tight and really well rounded, and musically the album flows. Haka has great vision and seems to just get it right with warm bass, nice drums and a barrage of musicality. I am really into this CD and hope that this camp continues to push out music.”
"definitely has its place in the current climate and trend of urban music. Without a shadow of a doubt you can tell the music is written with sincerity...well worth checking, especially if ya like ya London rap with a bit of a snap to it!"
"This really impressed me... a really refreshing listen. Lyrically this comes hard and if you like something to hustle to, something to ride to, something to even put on wid ya girl then OC Jigga’s impressive debut is a good place to start. South London rap at its best."
