I feel this year compared to 2024 has a lot more single drops. Not that I’m complaining, but it’s a solid observation from all the reviews I do! Either way, new single, let’s talk about it!
This is the latest by Jus Daze! Featuring two of my main guys, the first being the producer ‘Brutal Caesar’ and the second being the cuts by legendary Tone Spliff! A duo that has worked on many projects together, and now together with Jus, this trio couldn’t lose it; they tried!
Starting with the beat. This one feels very golden 90’s era East Coast Hip Hop! Considering the song is called ‘Queens’, it makes sense they would pay homage to that sound and style. If that wasn’t dope enough, you add Tone to spice it up, and this ends up sounding exactly, if not better, than some of the best era instrumentals! Real Mobb Deep shit!
As far as the rapping goes, Jus, just like the beat, pays homage lyrically to all the best artists who helped make ‘Queens’ what it is. My favourite being ‘A Tribe Called Quest’.
His delivery on the beat is flawless, great flow, penmanship is solid, and a great lyrical tribute to the artists of the past and present. He has a raw, crisp, and confident cadence and tone, the kind of proud spokesman for the Queens era and the kind of person you’d want representing it!
A short and sweet love letter to Queens. A reminder, especially to the newer generation of the ones who paved the way for us to be where we are now. The old heads know, but for those who don’t, just do yourself a favour and listen to the names dropped by Jus and search them on streaming. Trust me, you’ll be all the better for it!
