There is no doubting that this London-based rapper is gifted and this debut single will no doubt be the first of many more to come. "Unconditional" is a fusion of old-skool style rap with smooth vocal interjections by Jalessa Williams. The lyrics are powerful and full of truth. The reprise to the song however felt a little disjointed and didn't help with the overall flow. The intro to track number two "Close To You" spoke of the rappers need to put right his relationship with God which unfortunately had a slightly uncomfortable feel and didn't add to the listening experience. The final track "For You" is an all round winner and was enhanced beautifully by the vocals of Maria Byrd and Jalessa Williams.
