Impressively open, and a great songwriter – making for a welcomed change from the vast majority of hip hop acts of late – BAYBY Juls has a sound of his own right now; relevant yet intimate enough to really reach out.
Brilliant, a refreshingly interesting, musically satisfying and lyrically powerful new release, from an artist who promises to keep things unique in modern hip hop.
Smooth jazz vibes bring through lo-fi keys and flickers of bass, guitar and rhythm as the unique voice of Mister Davey Jones guides us through a calming, peace-inspiring Let It Breathe.

Introducing Myles James in a memorable way, Drugs feels quickly relevant to the current scene, but also showcases a faultless vocal ability – as well as a clearly poetic way with exploring the topic of love and infatuation.
Wholly immersive, engaging and interesting, as well as musically satisfying in the way that only the most finely-produced escapism tends to be.
“I don’t know, every musician out there is just working hard because they love music so much that it just doesn’t matter how much work it is to get your stuff out there.”
Featuring a pop-punk-style guitar riff and organic drum lead, T2D2 delivers an expressive vocal that meanders in style and brings in both melody and rap for a true fusion of genres.
The whole thing is incredibly unique, seemingly raw at first and minimalist before exploding into its final engagement of elements.
“Every one of us is passionate about science fiction, we also love soundtracks and among the still unreleased songs there is a small orchestral suite of cinematic inspiration”
The whole thing has a clearly inspiring core, and given the addictive yet modern musicality, the balance between intensity and summertime lightness works perfectly well.
