Ancient scripture told of a man, a myth, a legend, who wielded the mic like it was attached to the back of his weapon. His words, razor sharp, could create unhealable wounds, his flow unassailable, his beats incorruptible. In 2021, he’s reincarnated in the form of two men: Jordan Dennis and JUJO, a creative yin and yang who, together, represent perfect, deadly harmony. This year, FLYBOY JACK cometh, like an ancient, unforgiving plague — and they’re taking no prisoners.

Although both known individually for their deft, insurmountable skill — Jordan for his rubbery, nonporous flow and rapidfire lyrics, JUJO for beats that ping, sway, and swell as if existing outside the laws of physics or reason — there’s a creative frisson that arises when the pair unite that’s hard to beat. Issue Zero, their debut mixtape as Flyboy Jack, displays that frisson from its first seconds, introducing the pair as descendants of cutthroat, wild-eyed duos like Clipse, Outkast, or Run The Jewels. Listen to the way JUJO’s synths flicker and ricochet like a pinball machine on “JUJS DAD”, or the way Jordan contorts his vocal a million different ways on the foreboding, wonderfully weird “COOL BOY J”: there are few in Australian hip-hop working at this level. 

In its vast scope and immediacy, Issue Zero tells the origin story of Flyboy Jack as an entity separate to any of Jordan and JUJO’s past projects. Jack is not just Jordan plus JUJO or JUJO plus Jordan: Jack is swaggering, Jack is weird, Jack is a freak and a legend, a superhero and an outsider, a space cadet and a stoner. This is a partnership in the truest sense, hence the adoption of the Flyboy Jack moniker — this is symbiosis that deserves a single name. 

Originally conceived as a challenge to the two musicians — to see how many tracks they could make while staying together over a five-day COVID lockdown — Flyboy Jack eventually revealed itself as having far more complexity than a mere creative challenge. This was a record that deserved a synopsis, alter egos, a dense and divine mythology. Inspired by transcendent afrofuturist cartoons like Afro Samurai and The Boondocks, Issue Zero is a creative endeavour that plumbs the vast depths of Jordan and JUJO’s inspirations and creative ideals. Traversing skewiff funk, blistering electronic music, old-school soul, and atmospheric jazz, among other styles and sounds, this is broad creativity tied together by the cohesive Flyboy Jack universe. Perhaps because of that, there’s only so much words can say about a project like this, such is its expanse. Instead, it’s best if the legend unfolds in front of you, lyrical like the prologue of a Shakespearean epic or Greek war tragedy:  

The legend ignited by pain, personified through the art of war,
Wrathful with a vengeance , but greatness intended,
By divine intervention, then Flyboy Jack who was risen —
A samurai magnified by a gun slinger specialized in vibrational artillery,
Fighting style of the hip-hop dimension.

The culmination of time and patience, 
Blood, sweat, and destiny magnetizes our two protagonists. 
Through pain agonizing and lames antagonizing, 
Our heroes converge, casually shifting. 
The chosen two to be the ones selected. 
Their path is written by the hands of the galaxy:
FLYBOY JACK IS RISEN.

Clear Soul Forces - Buit To Last / Quali District Mix

In celebration of James "J Dilla" Yancey's 40th birthday, 
House Shoes presents the first half of the follow up to his 
critically acclaimed "The King James Version" mix, paying 
tribute to one of, if not the best producer in hip-hop's history
by strolling through some more of the records that were mined 
by Dilla for his productions. From jazz, to soul, to moog and 
electronica and more, this mix serves as a reminder to show how 
broad the range of music that inspired him was. Taken from all original vinyl. No youtube rips. No mp3s. None of that bulllshit.

Enjoy.

Howdy folks, this a tribute to one of my favorite hip hop groups ever De La Soul. I tried to flip "Stakes Is High", but change the time signature from 4/4 to a 6/8. l wanted to keep the vibe of the original.

J DILLA Tribute SP404 Live MIX

The late, great J Dilla is widely regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop producers of all time.  Since his death in 2006, Dilla’s mother Maureen “Ma Dukes” Yancey has worked tirelessly to further her son’s legacy, and her latest effort is the new project Motor City.  Inspired by Dilla’s beloved hometown, Motor City is a collection of rare and unreleased Jay Dee instrumentals, hand-selected and sequenced by Ma Dukes.  Conceived as a “letter” to her son, Motor City is packaged in a limited-edition mailing envelope, complete with a handwritten message from Ma Dukes to J Dilla inside.  This 19-track collection is now available at physical and digital outlets worldwide.

J Dilla - Motor City J Rocc Blend #4

This is the first single from Jamall Bufford's upcoming "Time In Between Thoughts" album, which will be released by The Black Opera on 8/24. 

Preorder Here: https://theblackopera.bandcamp.com/album/time-in-between-thoughts 

“20 Racks” on the surface seems like it’s about money. Well it is kind of about money, but more so it’s about longevity. We just wanted to flex on this one and let people know we’ll be around for a while. $20,000 split up into single dollar bills is hard fold, and so is The Black Opera. Shouts to Pep Love and my bro T. Calmese for jumping on this beat by my bro 14KT with me.” - Jamall Bufford

Jamall Bufford: 20 Racks ft Pep Love & T. Calmese [prod 14KT]

Blending the lush, soulful vocals from one of the greatest singers ever in Marvin Gaye with the production from the late J Dilla to paint a picture of what it would be like for the Prince of Soul to work with Detroit's finest. Putting together pieces of Dilla beats across a range of albums to create unique tracks to layer in some of the most famous hits from Gaye's collection. The result is what maybe it would look like if these two musical geniuses had not been separated by time and circumstance. Enjoy!
