"The UK and BK connect on the latest single from Jamieson’s upcoming I Came I Saw v.II EP" - 2dopeboyz.com - 2dopeboyz.com

"British born but now New York residing, Jamieson has been putting out good quality music. I’m certain this trend will continue in 2011. His track with Joell Ortiz and Sean Price has done him wonders." - Thehiphopchronicle.com - Thehiphopchronicle.com

"As with most of his material, it feels like a genuine hip-hop track without the grime/dubstep/electro influences that seem to be standard practice in the UK hip-hop game, which is a huge plus for me as those immovable influences make it far more difficult for the untrained ear to appreciate them alongside the favoured US rappers.

Big fan of the ‘live and you learn’ style message Jamieson brings to the track, and video accompanies it well with slick camera/editing work that gives Jamieson some worthy camera time." - Overrating the Underrated - Overrating the Underrated

"Being based in the UK, we’re always looking for the best talent from our homeland here at OTU, and here goes a London-born MC that’s making moves over in New York. Liking this guy’s rapping style, and there will be inevitable comparisons with Slick Rick, although they do have quite different styles. Good to hear UK hip-hop that isn’t rooted in Grime, and has a crisp sound about it.

Plenty of potential in Jamieson, and I’m sure many of you readers will be able to connect much quicker with his sound than that of the usual UK rappers. Nice feature on this one too, with one of the underground’s favourites Skyzoo delivering a verse" - Overrating the Underrated - Overrating the Underrated

"U.K born rapper Jamieson has previously been featured on Hip-Hop Kings with his collaborative tracks with Sean Price and Emilio Rojas. His new video “Foreign Exchange” has caused quite a stir across the Internet, and has been supported by all the major Hip-Hop blogs...." - Hip-HopKings.com - Hip-HopKings.com

"...London-born, New York-based rapper Jamieson says, it’s extremely important to Keep Up. For his first Booth feature, Jamieson (who, might I say, sounds like Slim Shady circa 2000) enlists the help of The Natural Emilio Rojas to convince us that keeping moving in the race to the top is the key to success. Both emcees ride the pulsating, street-jazziness of DJ Static’s production with ease, but more importantly, both Jamieson and Rojas fit into the track’s big picture like puzzle pieces – that number one spot can’t be far away for either of them. ...." -Matty K of DJBooth.net

"Its deep, he sounds a lot like Slick Rick……you know…..that other English guy who left the UK to make it happen in the U.S.

This kid has got a good team behind him, he’s gonna be making serious moves this year. - Djsemtex.com

"Here are 5 Extended Play projects I enjoyed in 2010.

Like the previous post, this list merely reflects the EP’s I enjoyed listening to in 2010.

Artists like Bigz, Loudmouth and Jamieson, Oddisee and Skillit put out solid EP’s and they should be proud of what they produced.

I salute you!" - TheHipHopChronicle.com - TheHipHopChronicle.com

There’s nothing like being able to say “I Told You So” to your haters. Just ask Jamieson, who celebrates his successes to date and scoffs at all who have doubted him on a freshly-leaked cut off his next EP. Singer Shareen Amour guests, joining the London-born, N.Y.-based rapper over Vintage‘s brassy sample work. I Came, I Saw Vol. 3, the final entry in Jamieson’s mixtape trilogy, is scheduled for release in March. In the meantime, fans can still stream and download Vol. 1 for free in the Booth.- DJBooth.net - DJBooth.net

Up-and-coming emcee Jamieson has hooked up with DJBooth.net to bring fans his latest EP, I Came, I Saw Vol. 1.

The inaugural entry in an EP trilogy set for release over the remainder of 2010, the project includes Booth-approved leak “Keep Up” and five more fresh tracks from the London-born, New York-based rapper.

Making guest appearances on I Came, I Saw Vol. 1 are Booth regulars Emilio Rojas and Skyzoo, along with UK artist K.I.N.E.T.I.K. Beats come courtesy of Sakke, DJ Static and Vintage.- (I Came, I Saw Vol.1) - DJBooth.net - DJBooth.net

Jamieson, an emcee from the United Kingdom, presents his loony tune “I Get Busy.” Though we’re intimidated by the mad rap skills he brags about, we can’t help but smile at the simply animated music video. His isolated mouth and huge brown eyes are seen against a colorful background of flashing primary colors.- MTVIggy.com - MTVIGGY.com

"After much anticipation, one of our favorite and very talented up and coming MCs finally dropped Volume 1 of his I Came, I Saw Trilogy this past week. Hosted by the good folks over at DJ Booth and featuring assists from a few familiar faces in the game (Skyzoo and Emilio Rojas) alongside some new overseas talent (K.I.N.E.T.I.K) this EP is just what I’ve been waiting for. I say this with no bias that there isn’t any rapper out there right now that’s bringing the flow that Jamieson has. Equipped with a magnetic accent, effortless story telling skills and rhymes that are comparable to Slick Rick; I suggest taking a listen for yourself to see what I mean. Be on the look out for more to come from Jamieson in the near future. For now, enjoy the six track EP that undoubtedly leaves me wanting more." - BT-Dubs.com
