Peter Pan Syndrome is a studio album by American hip hop artist J-Zone. It was released on Old Maid Entertainment on September 3, 2013.

Critical reception

[edit]

Nate Patrin of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.5 out of 10, saying, "J-Zone's aggravated flow and stand-up-ready delivery lends itself to some sharp observations on class struggle, gentrification, and the travails of thwarted upward mobility."[5] He added, "Peter Pan Syndrome is such a focused and niche-satisfying record that it likely wouldn't work worth a damn if J-Zone didn't have his heart in it, but in what appears to be a welcome 180, he goes off and performs like somebody who's never been burned by the business."[5] Aaron Matthews of Exclaim! gave the album an 8 out of 10, saying, "it's his honest, sharp and funny writing that makes Peter Pan Syndrome one of the first rap records to capture life in this decade."[3]

Spin listed it as the 17th best hip-hop album of 2013.[8] Impose included it on the "Best Albums of 2013" list.[9]
