Jus Daze is cranking out the singles for his upcoming project, Walk Twice As Hard. He’s one of the most poignant rhyme writers at the moment. He brings ‘real people’ music to the forefront. The song brings to light many emotions and thoughts. He gets you thinking and that’s to be sure. I can’t wait to cop the album. The beat comes courtesy of Larry Legend.
Jus Daze string of releases have become more and more compelling with every track. I’ve talked about it before, but Jus Daze is becoming a master of connecting with the audience. Even if he narrates a tale through metaphor and imagery, the potency of the message he imparts remains the same. Here you have a Rod Stewart infused boom-bap produced by Clipsmoke, while Jus Daze uses the story of Superman to weave a tale of love, lies, and deception. This is really good stuff people! I can’t wait for the album, Walk Twice As Hard.
Jus Daze makes it easy to feature him on Fridays because he is always putting out good, quality hip hop. This time he goes all Shawshank Redemption over the rhythm. This joint is dark, yet hypnotic. The beat is perfect. It captivates you while Daze drives home point after point. I also like the fact that he changes his cadence and speaks in hush tones in parts. It gives you the feel that he’s just holding a discussion with you. Dopest track I have heard this first couple of weeks in 2013…
This track is the lead single for his forthcoming album, Walk Twice As Hard.
It’s just after the holidays and I got caught up with family, friends, and the end of the year posts and kind of left the ‘Friday Feature’ hang by the wayside, that is until I remembered this Friday. I was just recently put on to Jus Daze and his style immediately meshed with what we are trying to do at Hip Hop Dependency. He’s been on the battle circuit for a while, but what I am most impressed by is the amount of emotion he incorporates in his music. It’s not just one-liners and battle lines. While he can do those things, he’s more about telling a story and injecting feeling into his cuts. The feeling I get is that he puts a good amount of himself in every verse.
With all that being said, and not being able to consult with Jus Daze before this feature, I thought a great initial offering would be his entire body of work from 2012. In this download you are going to get a variety of his singles, Bow II The Bow, Common Law, and The King Of Queens. This will be a great way for new fans to get acquainted and old ones to make sure their collection is complete.
Stay tuned for a more biographical piece and more music next week….meanwhile DL this!
My inbox has a 90% failure rate. That means nine out of every ten submissions are straight bunk. But today, the artist Jus Daze made opening and sifting through the inbox worth it. When you listen to his verses you understand that “he just gets it”. His lyrics and rhyme schemes indicates that this guy is on some other ish, but it’s the amount of heart he puts into his music that separates him from other artists I have heard. With that being said, Music Box, is a powerful song. So spread the word…pass this post…his video around. I don’t want it to go viral…I want it to go epidemic. Oh…and if you just want to hear the song and the actual video, progress it to about 4:08 mark.
