MH-239 Bigg Jus - Poor People's Day  Bigg Jus and DJ Gman present Poor People's Day, possibly the most relevant hip-hop record of the year. After working together on the key track from Jus' Black Mamba Serums, the duo conspired to create a release that would pay tribute to the oppressed people of the world and at the same time document what they see as an era of media control and significant global crisis. Bigg Jus fuses the indelible burners of his past with a deep political consciousness, proving himself a true aspirant to the Edutainment title. His art and politics coexist as he couches messages and exhortations in fly rhyme schemes, dropped over bumpin' beats. Those beats are provided by DJ Gman, who is sure to establish himself as one of the top producers in hip-hop with this release. The album destroys the sonic limitations of typical boom-bap and is nothing short of a revelation. |

| When we think Company Flow, we think the reinvention of underground hip-hop in the mid-90s, we think aggressive, witty, dense, unrelenting rap, we think Rawkus, we think El-P, we think Funcrusher Plus and the knowledgeable of us think DJ Mr. Len. How many of you had Bigg Jus immediately cross your mind after I mentioned Company Flow? Probably none. Jus was the last in, first out of the prolific NYC crew, but his as-impenetrable lyrical flow counterpointed El-P’s with skill and aptitude. These days he runs with the colorful Mushonauts, unsuccessfully searching for beats that can hang with his snaking vocal prowess. “Nutrients feed the life oxygen to my brain, vibration, wisdom / ignorance and knowledge through experience guided by intuition / this is gunships.” This is battling in the cerebral. - Audiversity |
