Twenty-nine years ago, Zan der Tyler was born in Parow, Cape Town. Today he is known as Jack Parow, original donker dodgy afrikaans rapper. Contrary to popular belief, his wild-fire success did not happen overnight. Jack started out rapping with crews from the Cape Flats and has been at it for nine years. It's been almost two years since his breakthrough in 2009 and since Jack Parow has released his first self-titled full length album that struck gold within two weeks of release and went platinum within a year; headlined at major festivals in South Africa; toured Europe and played before packed out shows there. His songs are hits on national radio stations and he has been on prime TV shows and on covers and centre-folds of publications in South Africa and in Europe.

His much anticipated follow-up album, Eksie Ou, is in a class of its own. While you can still hear the resemblance of the first album, the improvement of the lyrics, tracks, & mixing is very evident, making the album full of potential singles. With collaborations with Pierre Greeff of Die Heuwels Fantasties, Francois van Coke of Van Coke Kartel, David Kramer, Gazelle, and PH Fat, these tracks give off a hard party, a laugh, and lethargic memories of an 80′s/90′s kid. This album makes the perfect Christmas present for any free-thinking individual who enjoys Afrikaans music!
