Fans have been on the edge of their seats anticipating the new album release from Jus P. Now the wait is over and the vetted NY Hip Hop artist announces the release of ‘Black Canvas.’ In the interview below Jus P shares what fans can expect from the album, his personal journey through the album, lyrical rawness, his take on creating timeless music, and more.

MJ: Before we dive right into the release of your brand-new album, let everyone know who Jus-P is.

Jus P: I’m Jus P also known as the Black Menace. I’m a Queen’s representative by way of Long Island, adding on to true Hip Hop culture.

MJ: Your new album ‘Black Canvas’ features a diverse group of producers and artists. Tell us about the thought process of choosing this selection of producers as well as the guest features on the album.

Jus P: The album is a collection of songs that each have their own unique origin story. Whether those records were supposed to be used for different projects and didn’t happen or just me working on my own, there is a unique origin story to show how the artist and producer came together on any song on the album. I took those different records and blended them into a cohesive artistic body of work like a painter on a canvas.

MJ: The album hits heavy with an east coast, gritty vibe. Each track out of the 15 conveys distinct, real-life messages. One of my top favorites is “Inglorious Bastards.” It exudes a gripping lyrical performance. Talk a bit about that record.

Jus P: “Inglorious Bastards” was a record that was out before I got a hold of it. I met the producer through Killa Kali from Gold Chain Military. We decided to remix it adding my verse. My verse is about how my real-life experiences separate me from artists who exaggerate theirs.

MJ: “The Art of War” is another hair-raising track just from the intro alone, you can feel the emotiveness from each syllable. Share a bit about “The Art of War.”

Jus P: “The Art of War” was produced by Dirty Diggs and was originally for a full-length Jus P / Killa Kali project years back. Due to scheduling conflicts, we couldn’t complete it. I kept my original verse and got with GS ADVANCE who added a raw powerful verse as well as the hook.

MJ: What can audiences and fans expect from this album? What is it that you want audiences and listeners to take away from the lyrical experience?

Jus P: Fans can expect a gritty and amazing piece of art with the work of many different artists and collaborators. I want the audience to take away the advice and jewels that are in the lyrics as well as the skill and the art of the wordplay.

MJ: You have a signature style, flow, energy, and incomparable deliverance. What separates you from other artists? What is it about Hip Hop that keeps you striving for more?

Jus P: I’m a very creative person who also lives a distinct and interesting life. Many different life experiences I’ve been through or encountered I put into my music. What motivates me is being able to add to Hip Hop culture and its legacy…contributing my part to history.

MJ: It’s fair to say ‘Black Canvas’ is an album you can listen to in 2023 and play again in 10 years and still feel as if it was the first time your ears experienced it. What’s your ingredient or secret weapon to creating timeless music that both the older generation and the new generation can embrace?

Jus P: The secret ingredients for me are honesty and creativity…creatively and honestly telling my truth.

MJ: Take this time to let fans know of any upcoming shows, events, or upcoming music or projects they can expect from 2023.

Jus P: Next up is the Body Bag Ben produced EP ‘Fortune Favors The Bold.’

MJ: Is there anything else you want to share with the world about ‘Black Canvas’ the album?

Jus P: Be sure to check out ‘Black Canvas’ the album, out now on all streaming platforms. It’s a grimy piece of HipHop art and culture. Shouts to all collaborators, and peace to all my fans and family worldwide.

It’s amazing to see how much progress has been made, not only in the world of music but also in terms of tolerance and acceptance of different genres worldwide. Reflecting on their childhood, many can relate to not being allowed to listen to certain types of music, let alone pursue a career in it.

Growing up in a Greek household, there were limitations, and pursuing a career in music seemed like a distant dream. In many families, the expectation was to follow a more conventional path, such as becoming a teacher or a doctor. Back then, familial support for artistic endeavors was rare. However, as we step into 2024, things have significantly changed.

Parents are now not only supportive but encouraging of their children pursuing their creative dreams. There’s a newfound appreciation for the creative arts, and families play a crucial role in nurturing and supporting their children’s aspirations. This shift marks a significant change in societal attitudes towards creativity and the arts.

The 12-track project, heavily influenced by New York drill with elements from the Vermont music scene, offers a smooth listening experience. The album not only showcases Faxohzrd’s confidence but also his passion for music.

As someone once told us, there’s a difference between artists who create to connect with their audience and those who create solely for profit. Faxohzrd aims to move his crowd and make them experience his music fully.

For example, in “Kobe Bryant,” he displays his pen game and wordplay, cleverly referencing the late Kobe Bryant’s jersey number, 24. Faxohxzrd takes his shot and never misses.

“Lobotomy” is a straight pen track where he exhibits some of his best bars, blending boom-bap and drill beats, giving off takeover vibes as he talks about eliminating his competition as if performing a lobotomy.

“On Me” is a track dedicated to the ladies. Faxohxzrd acknowledges the women in his life, recognizing how they have always supported him and declaring his affection for his dream woman. The song gave me a taste of Mac Miller while listening to it.

Although these were our favorites from the project, without giving too much away, you need to check out the entire project for yourself.
