Queens, New York-based emcee Jus Daze recently released his latest ten-track album THE ZEITGEIST accompanied by the visual to the track NUCLEAR FISSION

On his latest full-length release, Battle Vet Jus Daze channels the many moods of the streets that influenced him throughout his life and in the present. Through the 10 tracks of ‘THE ZEITGEIST’, all bangers and all produced by C.G. The Producer. Jus Daze delivers the feelings, vibes, and concerns that are palpable all around you if you have lived long enough in the Big city and surrounding boroughs. There is Party and Celebration, There is Pride and Aggression, There is lust and straight ratchet raunchiness, and there is pain, loss, and a hyper-awareness that our time is limited, so we better be using it responsibly. All emotions we can relate to. All is reflected in Jus Dazes’ latest work.

Webster defines a ‘Zeitgeist’ as,

“The defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas and beliefs of the time”.

The music that Daze created and curated for this project is just that. A perfect representation of the time and place where Jus Daze is presently making his mark in the Hip Hop conversation. A time where the youth, (and adults who have yet to grow up), are more concerned with ‘Turning Up’ than improving their FICO Score. A time when Hip Hop sits arrogantly on the throne, a King drunk with power and not concerned with the wellbeing of his kingdom. However, Daze hasn’t dropped an album of lament. He learned the ‘If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em’ lesson and decided to Beat ’em at their own game!

Do you want Party? Daze kicks off the Album with a Bottle Popping worthy bop called ‘Go Time’, but,

“He ain’t doing that Grown Man spitting Foolish Raps”.

His bars are all sharp enough to leave you with The Mark of Zorro, and his cadence and flow Pattern to end the verse proves Jus Daze is ready to release the fireworks on ‘THE ZEITGEIST’. Did someone say Fireworks? ‘The Real’ comes through with a boom-bap feel cooked up by C.G. that makes an M80 Firecracker sound like one of those paper poppers you throw on the floor. The Beat Slaps and the rhymes punch harder than Kimbo Price. Def one of my favorite joints on the album. This is followed by ‘Big Cutty’; a no-fluff, no-filter look at the life of ‘Mr. Solo Dolo’.

‘THE ZEITGEIST‘ has joints for the Block and those working the Street Hustle, joints for the Emcees trying to make it in the saturated Rap Game (‘Rap Guys’, ‘Nuclear Fission’ 1 & 2, & ‘Not Another’), and joints for the Adult Hip Hop Head just working hard to keep his family happy and the bills paid (Karen, Darkness Of The Sun aka D.O.T.S). Hard-hitting bar-pleasing hip hop with the Lead Double Single ‘Nuclear Fission’ 1 & 2, which are 2 of our favorite cuts off the album. Another favorite tune on ‘THE ZEITGEIST’ is ‘Poison Pills’, a brutally Blunt look at the current prescription med epidemic that is taking lives throughout the Country, both in the Hood and the Burbs. This is Jus Daze at his Urban Freelance Journalist Prime, writing three Verses in graphic detail. C.G. provides a beat flip on the third and a gripping vocal sample on the hook that makes this joint a complete, breathing creation that pushes a message that needs to be heard in today’s American Society. He ends the song with an accountability challenge to those making a living off the drug trade in classic 80’s O.G. MC fashion. In an Era where Rappers are satisfied with penning 1 or max 2 verses for a track and calling it a day, the 3 and 1/2 verses & relevant topic Daze delivers on ‘Poison Pills’ makes this one of our top picks on the album.

Throughout 10 tracks of Boom Bap Burners molded by C.G. The Producer, Jus Daze has us ‘Feeling’ in all types of ways except disappointment. Press Play on ‘THE ZEITGEIST’ set it on repeat, and let us know how it makes YOU feel.

Jus Daze drops his 1st special double single off the album,  Jus teams up with C.G. The Producer who laced both tracks that get the heart racing like a Pelaton treadmill cranked to max speed, and Daze keeps pace with a rapid-fire cadence that ‘Breaks Teeth’ before he breaks a sweat.

Daze shared with us that this single is part of a ‘Special Double Single’ drop, backed with ‘Nuclear Fission II’ with the infamous DJ Tone Spliff on the cuts. Over C.G. The Producer’s dirty drums and haunted space samples, the Sasquatch Jus Daze,

“Chokes you by the ascot for keeping his name in your mouth, talking the back wash”.

Tone Spliff lays cuts he boosted off of the 1st ”Nuclear Fission’. Daze explained to us in his most brolic nerd voice,

“Nuclear Fission occurs when a neutron slams into a larger atom, forcing it to excite and split into two smaller atoms, hence why I dropped this as a double single”.
