SOS
Jon Connor is visceral and tangible with a master craft he has created in his flows and writing. He can come on any track and destroy it, so much so the flexes he released in albums and freestyles amass to his already great discography.
SOS II
There is a lot that can be said about Jon Connor, but most importantly is the vigor he pushes with the music that makes you want to punch someone (energy). He is one of the last few authentic emcees in the genre. So every time he drops a project it feels like a breath of fresh air for that moment.
