about

Fresh off the back of the well received YOU WISH single comes a 2nd jazzy hip-hop banger by JAY.SOUL. It features the lyrical realness and effortless flows of Brooklyn underground champ JUSTO THE MC, known for his releases with the likes of Maticulous, Showbiz DITC, Kev Brown, Skyzoo, Kyo Itachi, Remulak, Gang Starr Foundation, etc.

Amsterdam's best kept secret, award-winning hip-hop and indietronica producer/musician JAY.SOUL (AM444, Corey, Mr.Windmill) has been working across the Atlantic with Justo for a few years now and their musical chemistry is as instant as it is palpable.

Jay is known for his hard-hitting and funky, yet emotive and intricately produced beats. On Loyalty Lies, he lays down a warm and soulful track with uber-funky drums, heavy bass lines and choice, dusty guitar snippets.

Justo's lyrics show off a pensive, observational perspective about the stresses of today’s society, superficial people and fake friends. Not to be missed!

PLAY LOUD

This track fits perfectly on playlists alongside artists like: Joey Bada$$, Ab Soul, Skyzoo, 9th Wonder, Pete Rock, Dilla, Marlon Craft, Masta Ace & Marco Polo, etc.

Early support includes: Rich Medina, Dubmission Radio, Southern Vangard Radio, WeFunk Radio, DJ Kevlar, Erik Rico, Junior/Recordbreakin, The Eaze Up Show, Vanessa C, Relate Radio, DJ Easy Berlin, Pax The Humanoid, HALE LDN, Sauce81, Paka The Plug, etc
