Dxvice - Catch Me Outside

Dxvice - Catch Me Outside

Texas-based trap rapper Dxvice drops new single
‘Catch Me Outside’ in advance of forthcoming 12-track album

DALLAS, TX – Get ready to be hyped up with the latest single “Catch Me Outside” from Southern Trap artist Dxvice. The aggressive, in-your-face Trap single is the perfect song for hitting the gym or getting warmed up for a game. The fast-paced, hard-hitting edge brings a promise of success and is the perfect song for adding fuel to anyone’s fire.

“The premise is about people who talk without anything to back it up,” Dxvice said. “Someone who talks bad about the car you drive, but they drive a car that isn’t impressive. Or someone who talks about how little money you have, but they don’t even have their own money. It’s definitely more of an aggressive type of Trap that’s really energetic. That’s what I want my music to known for – something that’s just hype. I hit the stage and people know we’re about to turn up. They know it’s about to be crazy because I bring that crazy vibe. So get up and do whatever the music makes you do.”

Dxvice said he’s been making music since he was 5 years old, when he first picked up a guitar and started teaching himself how to play. As he grew, he began to realize he had a good voice, as well, and his passion for Rap turned into a full-fledged pursuit of success as a career musician. He started to experiment with Rap during his teenage years while also getting more and more into the Metal scene. Things eventually started to take off and by the end of 2018, he was already performing in large showcases. He finished second at the Coast 2 Coast Live showcase in South Florida in December of that year.

His sound has been described as pure Rap that incorporates velocity and grit. He said he hopes to use his art to change lives and help people through issues. His goal is to make sure no one is alone when life gets tough and to make sure his music has an impact on those who feel left out. He’s no stranger to life’s hardships and as such, he knows that the stories and vibes he brings with his music will be able to relate to a wide range of people.

“I was born in Uruguay and raised in Miami, and my father was deported when I was 13,” he said. “After he was deported, I began to make music and pursue a future free of financial worry. I’ve slept on floors and done whatever I’ve needed to do to save enough money to get myself and this career off the ground. I make music about literally everything – heartbreak, love, just raw Trap vibes. I can be anywhere and something might spark an idea and I’ll write off that. But at the core, a lot of my passion for music comes from that experience with my dad being deported and the years that followed that. To be able to express myself the way I want to and not worry about what anyone thinks is what my music is all about. And I want to be able to give that to anyone else who listens to my music.”

Dxvice said he’s planning on dropping a full album early next year, of which “Catch me Outside” is one of the 12 tracks. The single itself will be available across all streaming platforms on Sept. 25.

MTM - Freaky

MTM - Freaky

Hip Hop group MTM is changing the game with new sounds and styles on new mixtape ‘Set in Stone’

NEW LONDON, CT – MTM is a force to be reckoned with. This fast-rising Hip Hop group from the Upper East Coast of the U.S. is exactly what their name implies: More Than Music. Their collaboration of sound and style is like nothing that has come before in the entertainment industry, and their style is giving the Rap scene something powerful.

The group’s most recent release is a mixtape called “Set in Stone,” which features nine songs that fully showcase this group’s original style. The debut single from the project, “Freaky,” is a perfect display for the bouncy and upbeat types of songs they create. The song is one ready made for clubs or after parties or even just rolling down the street.

“Our music is about putting out a flow and a nice beat that’s gonna make you bounce,” said founding group member Hazey Gabana. “But at the end of the day, it’s more than music. We’re not just talking to talk – this is us. This is who we are. We’re encourage people to always be different because you’re always being you. Don’t be who the next person is – be you.”

Officially formed in 2015, each of the members of the group are powerful and dynamic emcees in their own rights. Their individual talents contribute to create gritty, raw and real cuts that contain the audible bond that only comes with true family. Each of the members of the group are related and that undeniable unity can be heard in every bar and beat.

The group was originally formed by brothers Hazey Gabana and Ruug Heff. Haze has razor-sharp skills on the mic and is 100 percent dialed-in to a signature style that’s synonymous with wild entertainment. Whether it’s rapping hot bars or singing big hooks, he’s proven time and again that he brings his A-game to every moment. Rugg has an energy and raw delivery that leaves audiences wanting more, and his flow is unmatched while still delivering bars.

Those brothers are joined by the youngest members of the group, Dooley and Shaddy Lu. Dooley has been in the music industry since 2015, taking influence from legends such as Rick Ross, French Montana and Young Jeezy to create a fresh and authentic flow. Shaddy Lu adds even more dimension to the group by bringing an intense amount of commitment, dedication and focus that’s unmatched by any emcee out there today. With the ability to transition flawlessly from massive hooks to blazing raps, Shaddy Lu has a charismatic flow that provides the perfect cap stone for this stellar group.

“Our music represents who we are on a regular basis,” Shaddy said. “We have a lot of energy and we have a lot of fun. When you hear our music, you’re gonna have a good time. We also make real music. We just want you to know we’re not gonna say anything that we don’t feel is authentic. We have genuine music and we’re genuinely always having a good time.”

Rnb Daysavv - Louie V

Rnb Daysavv - Louie V

17-year-old RnB Daysavv is Hip Hop’s newest prodigy

BRONX, NY – For as long as Daysavv can remember, he’s wanted to be an entertainer. From almost as soon as he could walk and talk, he was performing for his family and it wasn’t long before it became obvious to everyone that he had some raw, natural talent. Now at age 17, this young up-and-coming artist is showing the world just how skilled he is with a handful of new singles.

First up is his most recent single “Louie V,” which is currently available across all streaming platforms. Inspired by one of his favorite artists, Pop Smoke – who always used to say “Louie V” in his music – the song was created in the days following Pop Smoke’s passing.

“It’s upbeat and makes you want to jump around,” Daysavv said. “It’s basically about being a druggy and that lifestyle and the young kids who end up druggies. I’m getting ready to release a music video in the next two weeks, which will be my first music video. I’m gonna let that do some numbers and then I’ll have another one right after that.”

The next single he plans to drop is one of three choices – “Alone,” “Me and You” or “I Ain’t Playin No Games.” Both “Alone” and “Me and You” are more love songs that he said are intended for the ladies, while “I Ain’t Playin No Games” is another upbeat vibe that encourages people to chase their dreams no matter what.

“I’m leaning towards ‘Alone’ because it’s my favorite one,” Daysavv said. “It’s something both boys and girls will relate to. It’s about girls in general and getting multiple girls in the room and telling each one that you can’t leave them alone because they’re stuck in your mind. You can’t leave one girl alone even though you have others.”

Daysavv said he’s excited about what the future holds for him as a musician and all-around entertainer. He has signed with the RNB TheLabel and is ready to showcase his raw talent with this bevvy of new songs. More than anything, he hopes people will see his versatility and ability to bring good vibes with any beat or genre.

“I can do a little bit of Rap and a little bit of singing,” he said. “I can be melodic – which is what people are looking for right now. Some people would rather have a melodic singer who can also rap over a rapper who just does rap. If I want, I can rap but if I don’t want, I can also sing and do some things for the ladies. Since I like to sing, I make love songs for the girls. At the end of the day, I hope I’m known for being an artist. A lot of people might try to paint me as just a rapper or just a singer, but I want to show people that I’m more than that.”

Hytez - Stradivarius

Hytez - Stradivarius

Witty wordplay mixes with feel-good vibes on Hytez’s new mixtape ‘Welcome to Mars’

FORT WORTH, TX – There’s more than just mastery of wordplay to the music coming from Southern rapper Hytez. The depth that drips from every lyric is the kind of thought-provoking artistry that only comes around once in a generation. And that adept ability to turn a phrase that makes people ponder is put on full display with his new mixtape “Welcome to Mars.”

Slated to drop across all streaming platforms on his 20th birthday, Sept. 18, “Welcome to Mars” is true to its name in creating an otherworldly experience that takes listeners to an enlightened plane of existence. Inspired by the music of Travis Scott, “Welcome to Mars” features 14 songs that embrace a similar persona that Hytez calls “weird in the best way.” Scott’s musical style has been described as fusion of traditional Hip Hop, lo-fi and ambient – and that’s exactly the kind of sound Hytez creates with this new project.

“I really like that he’s super weird and he doesn’t care,” Hytez said of Travis Scott. “He knows he’s weird and he uses that as part of his persona, and that’s what I’m trying to do with my music. As we were creating this tape, me and the homies took a break and we were just sitting around smoking and I was geeked. I was thinking about the music we were making and how I was feeling at the time, and I said, ‘I’m up on Mars right now. Welcome to Mars.’ It hit me weird and I knew immediately that was the perfect name for the project.”

The debut single from the project is a song called “Stradivarius.” It’s the first track on the tape, and it’s the perfect display of Hytez’s ability to write lines that have multiple meanings and encourage listeners to think more deeply about what they’re hearing. The hook uses the line “the hoes are pulling at my strings like Stradivarius,” which is a great example of how a seemingly simple line from Hytez actually has a deeper meaning.

“My lyricism is what sets me apart from anyone else out there today,” he said. “If you listen to what I say, in almost every line I’m saying, something is deeper than what you might think on the surface. When I’m serious, I write a lot about depression or bigger issues in the world. When I’m not serious and it’s more lit and upbeat, I like to do a lot of punchlines and make people laugh. But I’m always writing things to make people think more deeply of what I’m talking about. This mixtape is more about the vibes and stuff while a lot of my other music will connect with people in different ways. At the end of the day, I want to let people know that when they feel hopeless, they can turn to my music.”

Josey Wellz - You Me Her

Josey Wellz offers upbeat ‘have-fun’ track to end the summer with new single ‘You Me Her’

ATLANTA, GA –  In today’s ever-changing industry of entertainment, true talent like Josey Wellz cannot be contained. He exploded onto the scene with a refreshing yet powerful sound that captivates both heart and mind, and with an R&B and Hip Hop fusion that taps into Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Pop vibes, he truly has a sound that is undeniable.

Josey’s latest single “You Me Her” is a perfect example of his signature sound and style. Currently available across all streaming platforms, this upbeat party track is the perfect kind of song for the clubs or for a fun night out with friends. Like most of his music, the single came about organically as he sat in the studio and started thinking about the things he most enjoys on a night out.

“What came out is just a pure, fun track,” Josey said. ‘It’s just good vibes and shooting the shit and having fun. I just sat down one day and started singing and that’s what came out, but that’s how I like to make my music. Over the past few years I’ve been finding more about myself and my creativity. There’s no limit and I’ve realized that I’ve been able to be more creative in my songwriting and in picking my beats. I’m opening myself up to being more lyrical and more versatile. At the end of the day, I have a different sound. I don’t sound like anybody. I’m not scared to be myself or try new things. And my style says a lot about being an individual and accepting that. I’m exclusive.”

Josey Wellz is a nickname given to him by a childhood friend. Born Hananiah Joel Nicholas, this young artist moved to Atlanta a few years ago with a heart full of hope and talent. He fed his passion for music with every genre he could find. In 2017, he released his first EP, “I Can’t Help Myself,” which immediately started opening new doors of opportunities. In 2018, he was able to travel and perform all over the world.

In the two years since, he’s been working on more music which he’s now excited to show to the world. He’ll be releasing a single every month through the end of the year.

“My next body of work is exciting,” he said. “With new flows and a new sound, I’m entering life from a different perspective. I have more confidence and assurity, and I think that bravado comes across in my songs. But it’s more about individuality and embracing that than anything else. That’s what I really want to be known for. I want to be singled out as a true artist who is a unique individual, not just someone who is a good rapper.”

Following the release of “You Me Her,” Josey said he’ll drop a second single in October called “Self Love.”

Travis Mdollaz - Ride 4 Me

Travis Mdollaz - Ride 4 Me

Travis Mdollaz fully embraces lavish lifestyle by pursuing music career; drops debut single ‘Ride 4 Me’

Travis Mdollaz fully embraces lavish lifestyle by pursuing music career; drops debut single ‘Ride 4 Me’

PORTSMOUTH, VA – Travis Johnson always had dreams of being famous. As one of Portsmouth, Virginia’s most successful entrepreneurs – with more than six successful businesses under his belt – this philanthropic community-minded go-getter is now ready to continue chasing that dream by way of a career in music. Having mastered a number of other disciplines, this highly artistic and creative individual has turned to music and his most recent single, “Ride 4 Me” is the kind of debut that will put him on the global map.

Released on Sept. 8, the song is a Hip Hop ride with R&B undertones that features Travis’ ability to rap and sing. Operating under the stage name Mdollaz, Travis uses this new single to offer the world a fun new vibe with a unique sound and style that he said is needed in today’s music industry. Touching on relationship issues while navigating through societal pressures, the song explores the ups-and-downs of an on-again/off-again relationship.

“It was inspired from a messy breakup that I went through,” Mdollaz said. “Basically, it’s about breaking up and getting back together and all the things that lead someone to think about cheating on their partner. When it comes to my music, I’m different than anything else out there. I don’t follow the trends, I set the trends. I do my own thing. I make my own rules. And I don’t look for validation from the general public.”

Though he doesn’t look for validation from the public, he is an influencer on his community, and he’s looking to expand that influence on a global scale. As an activist, Mdollaz got his nickname by earning the reputation of being someone who is extremely generous. No matter where he goes – whether it’s a public event or a volunteer service somewhere – he’s become known for giving away money. Young people in his community know him as the guy who gives out $1 bills, while organizations and nonprofits know him as the guy who not only invests financially, but also gives of his time and passion without reservation.

He also isn’t reserved about the kind of lifestyle he enjoys. He’s quick to point out that he loves the finer things in life. It’s that lifestyle that first prompted his friends and family to encourage him to pursue a career as a rapper.

“They told me, ‘You actually sound good for starters, so you should just do it,’” Mdollaz said. “So I did a song and music video and people have gone crazy for it. So I’m sticking with it. I hope my music is known for impacting and changing lives. I don’t want to be rapping just to be rapping. I want to rap with a purpose and help people. If my music can give you a kind of blueprint for how to do better, then I’ve done my job.”

40 Abioye - Fortune Cookies

40 Abioye - Fortune Cookies

Depth of wisdom drips from new album ‘Fortune Cookies’ from Atlanta artist 40 Abioye

ATLANTA, GA – 40 Abioye is the true definition of an Indie success story. Fiercely independent and articulate, this Atlanta-based artist has found a way to please both the hardcore Hip Hop fans and a much wider audience through soulful hooks, picture-painted verses and savvy collaborations with some big names in the industry. That pedigree is put on full display with his new album “Fortune Cookies,” which will be available across all streaming platforms later this year.

Everybody loves getting the little bits of wisdom found in the center of a fortune cookie, and that’s the sentiment 40 Abioye is bringing with his new album. With every single song on the project, 40 offers messages to the world that are a variety of good vibes, inspiration and challenges to look at the world with a different perspective.

“When you get a fortune cookie, you never know what kind of message you’re gonna get,” 40 said. “That’s the same idea with this album – you never know what you’re gonna get until you push the button and see what the next song is about. I’m giving you a variety of different feels and I’m showing my growth as an artist. I start off the album by giving an introduction to myself and my perseverance over the years of doing this as an independent artist – the trials and tribulations of that journey. Then I have songs that talk about being the CEO of my own record label – Stoners Avenue Entertainment. I do some songs for the stoner community and talk about the cannabis movement that’s happening right now. Then I go to the females and talk about relationships. There are some songs about politics and the current state of what’s going on in the world. So really every song is a message.”

The debut single from the project carries the same name as the album, “Fortune Cookies” and is now available across all streaming platforms. Fortune Cookies features well known Atlanta artist Derez De’shon. 40 Abioye is originally from Flint, Michigan and teamed up with well known Atlanta Artist Derez De’shon to gain a new audience in 40 Abioye’s new home of Atlanta GA. It’s a subtle nod to the overall message of the song, he said, which is about the perseverance he had to go through to get to where he is today as a fast-rising artist in Atlanta.

“I just want my legacy to be timeless songs,” he said of his music. “I want to be known as an artist who fought hard from the bottom and built his way up independently. My music is good enough to get me where I want to go without taking any shortcuts. I want people to see that you don’t have to have all the connections and a big following if you’re talented enough and believe in yourself. You can achieve success if you work hard and believe in yourself. You can’t go wrong when you give people your true self.”

In addition to “Fortune Cookies,” 40 said he’s planning on releasing a second album called “Growth, Pain and Struggle” later this year or in early 2021.

Curtisceo - Re Up

Curtisceo - Re Up

New York artist uses music to encourage others to be CEOs of their own lives

BRONX, NY – It’s been quite a year of quarantine from the pandemic and adjusting to changes in the economy and in lifestyles, but many people are beginning to find a new normal and re-enter the workforce. New York artist Curtis CEO has created the perfect single for that sentimentality. It’s called “The Re Up,” and it’s currently available across all streaming platforms. With a laid-back chill vibe that emphasizes his thoughtful lyrics, “The Re Up” is a song that’s perfect for any occasion.

“I was a teacher before all this and now I’m not because of the pandemic,” Curtis said. “This song is for all those other people who have been waiting for normal to return. It’s a song that says whatever you’ve been doing in the past and have been forced to re-do in a new way, congratulations on making adjustments and doing things the right way. I just want my music to be known for getting people through their day. That’s how I got into Hip Hop and what has helped me through this tough time. I’d have a bad day and rush home and listen to music and it would make the day not so bad anymore.”

Curtis said “The Re Up” is a prelude to a full mixtape that’s set to drop in coming weeks called “Black Treasury Vol. 1.” Preorders for the project are currently being accepted on Curtis’ Distrokid website. With a concept that embraces a unique philosophy made into reality in Oklahoma and Florida surrounding the idea of a “Black Wall Street,” Curtis said the project is one that will encourage listeners to become the CEOs of their own lives.

“In spirit, I’d like to create a Black Wall Street that doesn’t get burnt down,” Curtis said. “In Oklahoma and Florida, they had that for a while but they didn’t have enough to protect whatever economy they had going for it. But I believe we can create our own economy and our own treasury and in essence, everybody can be the CEO of their own lives. Regardless of the circumstances of your own life, you can take chances and have success according to your own barometer of success, not anyone else’s barometer of success.”

“The mixtape will include 11 songs that are heavily influenced by the times we’re going through”, Curtis said. The debut single from the project is a song called “Roller Coaster,” which explores the joy and consequences of over-indulging during a night out. It’s a song that puts on display Curtis’ ability as a master of lyricism and shows off his skills with a Trap/Hip Hop/Drill sound.

Taj The Elephant - Spotlight

Taj The Elephant – Spotlight

Taj the Elephant drops mega hit new single ‘Spotlight’

ATLANTA, GA – “Punjabi Reject Vol. 1” is out now in wide release, and the debut single from the project, “Spotlight,” has been gaining attention in just two weeks of release across all streaming platforms, spreading like wildfire across the U.S. and in other parts of the world. The Trap/Soul fusion features a signature flow with auto tune and high reverb effects that Taj has perfected. With a beat that’s equal parts bouncy and melodic, listeners will want to put this song on repeat and play it wherever they’re at.

“What happens to most guys once they get signed and actually get released?” he asked. “They get tons of attention and end up leveling up and hooking up with a baddie actress or singer. I wanted to capture that feeling, and that feeling literally bleeds through the video to the audience. It shows me and my beautiful woman enjoying the spotlight. We’re like this power couple just kind of telling the world, ‘I made it! I’m the king. Because I’m the king, now meet my queen.’ She’s stunning, powerful, and sultry. She’s mine, and we deserve the spotlight. That is the entire theme and wave of the song.”

Raised in the Punjabi tradition of an Indian family, he struggled with the overly strict environment established by his father. Although he was involved in both music and sports at a young age, Taj began to turn to the streets to seek the attention that wasn’t being given between the relationships in his home. At age 14, he began to rebel and got into trouble when he was arrested for possession of drugs and was taken to juvenile custody, expelled and kicked off the basketball team. At the age of 15 Taj dropped out of school and left his home. His continued rebellion which, among other things, included a passion for Hip Hop music, had come to a head in his parents’ house.

“I didn’t feel like I belonged,” he said. “I wasn’t one of them. I would have rather been out on the streets homeless than be in a home with nonstop abuse and scrutiny.”

Within the Punjabi tradition, Hip Hop and “Black” culture was highly frowned upon, and it’s exceedingly rare for someone of that heritage to pursue a career in that style of music.

“There are countless times where I’ve come close to record label auditions or opening for bigger acts,” he said. “I was always kept down by f—ed up people. All of my setbacks constantly had me in and out of depression and addiction. There were people who took chances away from me and wanted to control me. I just wasn’t always wise over the years. I think a combination of all those things plus the personal hell I’ve been though is why I’m so locked in now. I have a chip on my shoulder and I am not going to stop till I make my mark. I’m a Trap artist, period. I love trap music. You can hear that in the music. But, I’m like a great basketball player in that there’s no telling what my style is for sure. I might cross you up just to show you who’s the boss. Expect the unexpected. I want my music to be an escape for everybody from all walks of life. Whether you’re White, Black, Indian, whatever, I want to break those barriers down. People go through real shit and I know how it is. When you’re happy, sad, alone, confused or motivated, you will find relatability in harmony and lyrics in my art and I want to give people that outlet to escape their realities through my music.”

Ray Davis - Lit Asf

Ray Davis - Lit Asf

Ray Davis drops yet another hit single with club banger ‘Lit Asf’

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – For the past decade, Ray Davis has been making great melodic Hip Hop music, and his new single “Lit Asf” is just another in a long line of successful songs that showcases an incredible talent from this young man. Upbeat and bouncy, this club banger from Davis is an anthem to the people of the world who are tired of the various issues causing so much strife and violence and who would rather just go out for one night and have a good time.

“It started when I was in my room listening to an instrumental that was emailed to me, and just thinking about how I was at the point where I wanted to quit my job to start making music full time,” Davis said. “But I wasn’t able to do so because I knew I needed to continue grinding to get to that point. So, I said aloud to myself: ‘Well fuck it! I’m at least gonna get Lit Asf one night to myself.’ So, this song is about not holding onto everything and just having a great night – not worrying about anything. It’s stressful with everything going on, and this song will help people loosen up.”

The single is one that has propelled him onto the national stage and gained attention from some of the biggest industry insiders. That’s nothing new for this talented musician who worked out of Atlanta for many years before moving to Oklahoma City. At only age 23, he was signed to the label BNDR Music which is now called Streamlive, and released two singles with them. One of those singles, “Keep Holding On” was featured on WorldStarHipHop and gained him enough attention that he was able to open for Hip Hop legend Juice Wrld. He also performed at some big events in both LA and Las Vegas.

Davis returned to LA earlier this year to film the music video for “Lit Asf.” That video is slated to drop by the end of September, while the single is currently available across all streaming platforms. It’s a song that he said showcases his different sound and puts on display his signature style.

“I’m more of an artist who does singing and rapping with some great flow,” he said. “One minute I can go slow and sing with it, the next minute I’ll speed it up. Any time people hear it they say it’s just different. The more I’ve worked on my sound over the years, the more I’ve learned how to create that truly signature sound. Plus, I’ve got a great personality, I’m likable, and I’m willing to learn. And the work ethic is just the icing to all the things that make me stand out. At the end of the day, I want to create music that will relate with people. I talk about real shit that’s going on – not just about drugs, girls or money. I talk about life experiences and things I’ve gone through, and they’re all things that people from all over can relate to. But most of all, I make great music. I just want to be heard because I know my music is capable of getting me somewhere.”

Davis said he’s working on another single and video that should come out this fall.

Third album from JHUSTLES, ‘Molly Rock,’ introduces hot new artist to the world while offering new perspective on world issues

LOS ANGELES, CA – It’s the dream of every parent to see their kids be successful at the things they’re naturally good at. For long time Hip Hop artist JHUSTLES, it was the joy of his life to get to work on his new album “Molly Rock” with his son who goes by the stage name drug$onwar. Featured on four of the album’s eight songs, this up-and-coming young artist is following in his father’s footsteps in big ways and lends an energy to the album in ways that JHUSTLES said makes it one of his best pieces of work to date.

Born and raised in LA, JHUSTLES was knee-deep in gangs, graffiti and the drug culture before he was even a teenager but even through all of that, his first love was music. He came from a long line of successful musicians – with a father who was a talented musician and a stepfather who was a member of notorious groups like the Italian Rock band PFM and the Saturday Night Live band. His mother was a celebrity hairdresser and worked with some of the biggest names in Rock including The Babies, Aerosmith and The Ramones. The combination of raw natural talent and rubbing shoulders with music’s biggest legends paid off and by a young age, JHUSTLES was using music to get himself off the streets.

It wasn’t long before he had made a name for himself on the West Coast. He became a Sway In The Morning “Get in the Game” artist on Eminem’s SHADE45 Radio and collaborated with many of Hip Hop’s best rappers, including Hot Dollar, JBO from the YoungbloodZ, FatLip from The Pharcyde and producers Stefon “Bionik” Taylor, Jason “Jplot” Plotkin, and Focus which is from Aftermath Records. His career was taking off, but then he had his son and committed to raising his boy as a single father. He backed off from the grind of making music daily and instead worked on his sound and style when he had the time to do so. He turned to Hollywood to make money and found a niche making songs for TV shows and film. In recent years, as his son grew into his teenage years, JHUSTLES found more time and a renewed energy for making his own music, and “Molly Rock” is his announcement to the world that he’s back.

“One major difference from my past work is that I was in a similar head space for all of these songs because it came together so quickly,” JHUSTLES said. “I did the album in a couple of weeks leading up to the full quarantine shutdown. I knew it was coming and needed to get in the studio and do an album real quick. We wrote, produced, recorded, mixed and mastered it all under the premise that no one would be able to leave their house for the next five months. And as such, it touches on a lot of different things – from the state of affairs politically to break-up songs to socially conscious songs and everything in between. There’s a lot on this album because I wanted to take people on a few different directions.”

The best part of making that album, JHUSTLES said, was his collaboration with his son. As a tall 6-foot-3 basketball player, his son has always shown an interest in sports. But he’s also been with his father in the recording studio since he was a baby and much like his father, he rubbed shoulders with a lot of big names in the industry, learning how to make music along the way. So when he approached his father about collaborating on a project, it was a shock.

“Working with my son is probably the coolest thing ever,” JHUSTLES said. “He’s been in the studio with me since he was a baby – in fact, he was on the cover of my first album. And he’s an encyclopedia of music and Hip Hop. When he came to me and presented me with songs he wrote, I was blown away. He’s gonna be way better than me. Being able to introduce him to the world on this project is probably the best thing I could ever imagine happening. This is my third official album and it’s definitely my best album, and a big part of that is because he’s on it. It’s a whole new light he brings to it.”

JHUSTLES’s new album isn’t the only exciting release about to come out. He was also fortunate enough to be hired by filmmaker Geo Santini to do the original music for the new film “LIKE: The Miseducation of Lil Tito” which is slated to premier on Sept. 16 at the HBO New York Latino Festival. JHUSTLES wrote seven original songs for the film, and can be heard performing songs for the main character of the film.
