"Long Island/Brooklyn native, J57 illustrates warm synth melodies washing through tight beats and subtle textures on Digital Society, an anthemic electronic hip-hop soundtrack. Infusing his production with hip-hop, soul, glitch, and countless other influences, J57 has a masterful ear and an unerring drive to his beats. Using precision and clarity for this freshman solo album, J57 draws contributions from Digga Jefferson Price on keys and vocals, Jordan Usatch on guitar and lyrical shading by Soul Khan of Brown Bag AllStars fame. Additionally, Deejay Element and Juno Award winner DJ Brace stamp their respective marks with nimble fingers."

Introducing....."Quality Control", a crew that consists of Sharp (of Thump Connection/ Hazardous Soundz Ent.) & cRITICAL (of Critical Madness/Creative Juices/ Hidden Agenda) along with a slew of other founding members that include emceez, djs, producers & graff artists. Their 2 hometown crews originally united in the late 90's in Central Florida after several years of building in cypherz, crashing open mics & rockin' at the same house parties. In other words, the roots are thick and the bond formed naturally which is evident from the organic chemistry demonstrated on their latest project titled "Toxic Therapy". This Radioactive masterpiece stays true to their unique formula that will have tape headz blowin' the dust off of their cassette crates to inject another dose of that analog vaccine that hip hop scientist fiend for! Their 1st experiment "2010 Policy" is fresh out the lab so circulate that & spread the germ! To be continued!

With additional features of extended and talented family : Am I Am, Ill Will, Dillz, J Biz, Ceasar Comanchee, and Mike Rosa, the comprehensive EP is a complete success. Production by Reeplay, Abbot and UnSelfTitled ensure a treat for the hip hop heads. Be sure to download, listen, and enjoy...

Don’t let the name fool you, there’s nothing BS about BS. A part of NYC’s next generation of up and coming emcees, BS has rocked the mic with a litany of former Artists Of The Week (aka B-Listers, for the uninitiated), including Chaz Kangas, Jesse Abraham, and Premonition. In fact, the first time I saw him perform it was with a group of artists I’d known for a while, so it was almost as though he’d arrived on the scene already co-signed. To BS’s credit, he’s never taken advantage of that feeling and continues to work his ass off to get heard. This week I caught up with BS to find out more about the man behind the initials, including what those initials stand for, where you’ll never find him, and why instead of sneaking into shows he now has to sneak out of them.
For those who wanna submit music for a future episode, please note that the only way i'm taking submissions these days is thru my Soundcloud dropbox. Stay tuned for more announcements as far as places/ways you can hear the Subsoniq brand... we got BIG things in the works!
