Player 1 is a collaborative album from Pittsburgh artists JHAWK and Billy Hoyle - a modern-day player’s manual built from soul samples, street charm, and smooth talk. 

Across sixteen tracks, the duo explores what it means to be a player in every sense - from love and loss to confidence and control - blending laid-back production with sharp storytelling and effortless cool. 

While the sound stays rooted in classic hip-hop, the rollout leans into a retro gaming aesthetic - turning the idea of “Player 1” into a full-blown world. Together, it’s a project that celebrates presence, finesse, and the art of playing life with style. 

Recorded at I.D. Labs and mastered by Big Jerm, Player 1 captures the energy of two artists in perfect sync, balancing grit, groove, and game in equal measure.

THE GREAT ESCAPE

THE HOWL

“Funk-A-Pum Pum” is a funky, sample-driven Christmas rap built on a flipped 70s soul groove, breakbeat drums, and a scratch-friendly hook. It’s a playful, high-energy holiday track with quick cadence, DJ cuts, and a big boom-bap swing. No nativity references—just pure Christmas fun, retro horns, and that rhythmic pa rum pum pum pum turned into a full-on funk anthem. Turn it up and let the holiday beat go dumb.

Beatmaker (Bremen, Germany)

Simon Roots schneidet euch Soundschnipsel aus Soul & Jazz Platten der 70er zu einer neuen Melodie. Drumbreaks werden mit alten Samplern aufwendig in einzelne Elemente aufgetrennt und zu einem völlig neuen Groove gebastelt. 90’s Golden Era Boom-Bap Sound ist vorprogrammiert. In seinem eigenen Studio kocht und verfeinert er die samplebasierten Beats mit analogem Equipment und versorgt Leute aus seinem Umfeld um Bunker Beats Bremen mit einem unverwechselbaren Kopfnicker-Stil. In der Fry Zeit Clikk war er unter anderem der kreative Beatbauer und spielte die Beats live von der Bühne. Nun arbeit er an seinem eigenen Stuff und lädt immer wieder Beat Skizzen hoch..
