Zander Tyler (born 22 February 1982), better known by his stage name Jack Parow is an Afrikaans rapper from Parow, Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa.
He is well known for his contribution to the song Die Vraagstuk with Die Heuwels Fantasties and performing with them at the Oppikoppi festival in 2009. He has contributed and collaborated with many notable artists such as Die Antwoord in their songs Wat Pomp and Doos Dronk and worked with Gazelle and DJ INVIZABLE in Hosh Tokolosh and Francois van Coke in Hard Partytjie Hou, both from Parow’s second full-length album, Eksie Ou. From an outsider’s perspective, Jack Parow appears to be a rough, take-no-nonsense kind of person who parties a lot and always speaks his mind.
This being half true, Jack explained in an interview that he really is a nice guy who tries to avoid conflict which seems to be a slight occupational hazard when he performs in small towns and places where sometimes his music and style are not welcomed as openly as they are at other venues. Parow also stated in a Dutch TV interview that he personally chose to avoid political and religious material in his work due to the sensitive nature of those subjects in South Africa. Parow’s songs Die Vraagstuk (which he produced with Die Heuwels Fantasties) and Cooler as Ekke have become very popular in South Africa, Flanders and The Netherlands. Parow’s first full-length album, the self-titled Jack Parow, was released in April 2010.
This album reached gold sales status. Collaborations with other artists on this release included Francois van Coke (Fokofpolisiekar & Van Coke Kartel), Die Heuwels Fantasties, rapper JR and others.
