Jus P and Body Bag Ben announce the release of their new collaborative EP 'Fortune Favors The Bold." The 6-track project features some of Hip Hop's powerhouses and invites audiences into P's wins and losses, no sugarcoating. The duo offers a bold emcee/producer chemistry sure to leave a lasting impression. Tap into the interview below as P shares more about the album and features, his ability to share personal truths while entertaining, upcoming visuals, and more.
MJ: You just
released a new project titled 'Fortune Favors The Bold' which follows
the heels of 'Black Canvas.' The cover art alone speaks volumes about the
project. Talk a little bit about the thought and mindset that went into
'Fortune Favors The Bold.'
Jus P: Fortune Favors
The Bold was conceptualized and inspired by the film The Spook Who Sat By The Door.
The film is about a black man who takes his C.I.A. training back to
Chicago and teaches the street gangs how to organize and fight back against
oppression. The skits are well thought out clips from the movie. The cover art
is a picture of a group of Black Panthers. Our mindset on this project is 2
freedom fighters risking it big for the good of the people.
MJ: The 6-track
project comes equipped with heavyweight features including Ruste Juxx,
Solomon Childs, and Eff Yoo. Did you know going into the project they were the
'it factor' for those particular tracks?
Jus P: Each
feature is organic and every artist is someone I genuinely deal with. I met
Ruste on tour in El Paso Texas. Solomon is someone I've been working with my
whole career on almost every project. Eff Yoo is family. So it's only right to
get them on this project.
MJ: You are famed
for delivering authentic NY Hip Hop with messages intended to open ears
and eyes, and this project is no exception. Without giving too much away, shed
some light on the tracks "Penitentiary Chances" and
"Bloodseed."
Jus P:
Penitentiary Chances is me reflecting on my past experiences incarcerated in a
cautionary way. Blood seed is about exposing the falsehoods of these rapper’s
people look up to.
MJ: What impact
on fans, communities, and Hip Hop do you foresee the project having?
Jus P: The impact
I foresee this project having is first adding to my legacy through catalogue.
Also letting people learn from experiences wins and losses.
MJ: Are there any
accompanying videos to 'Fortune Favors The Bold" that audiences can check
out?
Jus P: Videos are
definitely on the way. First up is Snake bite with Ruste Juxx coming asap
MJ: Take this
time to share anything else you'd like about the project.
Jus P: Shout out
to the brother Body Bag Ben for being a master producer on the boards. This
project us unlike any other project either of us has done. A lot of lessons as
well as entertainment on this project. Be sure to check it…
