Ras Beats & J Scienide – Neighborhood
Raspy-voiced J drops gems about life experiences over Ras’ knocking, moody track. The result is sure to have heads noddin while enjoying the clever wordplay.
Quotable:
“In Hell’s Kitchen the meals are made different /
My shit brilliant spark the wave y’all be illin /
I wish I could give you this feeling /
Like when you’re fucked up thinking the floor was the ceiling”Hailing from Queens, New York and Washington, DC respectively, Ras Beats and J-Scienide are both grounded in classic 90’s Hip Hop and at the same time push the envelope to make their sound stay current and fresh.
