J.ust U.nderstanding S.elf



JUS Evolution is my FAVORITE band... I was introduced to them through my peoples Wise Dred when he had an event called the Evolution of Music at Crash Mansion. JUS is the lead singer and insanely talented guitar player who regularly channels Jimi Hendrix and Tupac to name a few. Through his musical journey he discovered a formula that has seperated JUS EVOLUTION from all the other bands in my mind.


They are all talented in each of their instruments but when they come together their teamwork is what comes through the music. Whether they perform for a crowd at Best Buy, a small night club in NYC or a huge open outdoor stadium in Germany they give their full rocked out hiphop funk of rhymes and riffs! I love the fact that everything they say is an emotion you can relate to or learn from. JUS has a way of showing you that they are rockstars in an everyday sense that their feet are still planted firm on the ground.


Their humble spirits, their consistent grind to expose their hardwork, their creative approach to a changing industry and the fact that they are of a different genre shows testament to the passion for the music. To me this genre hasn't been to the surface yet so JUS is blazing new trails and showing you that anyone, any color, any financial status can rock out if you just have the PASSION & DRIVE which this band does to the 5th power!!

"DO NOT SLEEP on this excitingly hip band that makes me forget whats going on in my day to day and reminds me to just FEEL the MUSIC & let it GO!!!"

B.I.G. Dreams


BIGGIE... described by Rolling Stone as a "thick, jaunty grumble" & The Source's Unsigned Hype, described his style as "cool, nasal, and filtered, to bless his own material". Years have passed but he is still played on a daily basis whether its radio, internet, mp3 players or even ringtones which goes to show you that you can come from nothing and become something. Some people just have "it" and Biggie to me had "it". He had a dream which through time developed into a movement and still continues to this day. His foundation the Christopher Wallace Foundation has a yearly black-tie affair called B.I.G. Night Out where all the proceeds from the evening go to help kids with school equipment and supplies. Biggie was a force and it bothers me that he isn't here today because I know he would have done soooo much more for his family, community & for hiphop!! Your music, message and inspiration is still breathing today not just in Brooklyn but in the Universe.....THE SKY IS THE LIMIT!!!
