Ruste Juxx x Grand Surgeon – “Hard Luck” feat. DJ JS-1 (Prod. By BigBob)
March 11, 2019
YES! Strap up and strap in. This one is a mad wild sh!t talk adventure. A tour de force with veteran emcee guides on the hardest driving beat. The block was hot before the trap got on wax. Listen to this and KNOW that!
Swaying violin melodies leads us into some vintage mobster movie vibes with the latest track HARD LUCK. Studious NY rapper Ruste Juxx’s steady and vigorous lyricism commands respect with a tenacious stance. Seasoned NY emcee, Grand Surgeon mobilizes a lyrical cadence inspired by the haunting melody, painting a poignant mood, arranged by visionary producer BigBob. JS-1 of the legendary Rock Steady Crew, lends his talents with precise cuts and scratches on the track.

Estituo – “Murder He Wrote†(Prod. By Kris Ja’lon)
March 8, 2019
Get that p**sy out my face. I got this money on my dome.
Whew! Hard barz and gut shots for naysayers and folks who curved Estituo at every level in his struggle. ‘Nuff middle fingers to go around. You know how you season some dishes with a bitter spice. That’s “Murder He Wrote.†Not revenge rhyming over the Kris Ja’lon beat, so the dish isn’t cold. There is definitely some heat to be felt in how the lyrics are directed.

Quelle Chris – “Straight Shot” feat. Cav x Bilal Salaam x Eldar Djangirov x James Acaster
March 7, 2019
Before you say, ‘Okay Quelle Chris got impatient and just loaded the box so he could get the sack (read: bag) with this “Straight Shot” Hail Mary play’… Read how it all came together in his mind… and how he then set out to make it a reality. Then listen to the stream. Artistry!
“Straight Shot” is one of those ideas that reached out to me, we got along and I simply showed it around town. The chorus, poem at the end and basic piano progression literally came to me in two separate dreams. My first thoughts were “I gotta introduce you to Bilal Salaam and James Acaster. Though I’m not sure just how to yet.†Then as we hung out I knew I needed to first introduce the idea to Chris Keys. Now initially I thought it was an interlude but quickly realized while hanging with Chris it was a song. After writing the first verse I knew I needed to invite Cavalier over to meet our new friend and felt it was time to also introduce it to Bilaal and James. And, just as I’d imagined, everyone got along with the song swimmingly. Finally, Chris called on his friend, Eldar Djangirov, who tied everything together with a piano solo that seemed to effortlessly say as much as, if not more, than I can put into words about the entire song and our time together. The rest, as they say, is today.

Ezri | The L.A. Leakers | Freestyle #069 (Video)
March 7, 2019
Ezri looks like he has some barz in the memory banks but is willing to go off-top and run the rhymes until the rap goes off track. Risking the facade of being smooth and perfect to give fans something real when he touches the mic. I see you Ezri. We are watching. Keep it pushing. Rep that Starting 5, son!
