Don’t Sleep On These New Releases
The underground has a pulse that most people can’t find, we’ve been tracking it since before most knew what to listen for first on radio nearly 40 years ago, then also on the print mag in ’96. This list of juggernauts joints aren’t just molten lava, they’re evidence. Each one taps into where the true culture lives right now, not where the algorithms told you to look. Clock’s already running. Insomniac Magazine’s Hip Hop Top Ten starts now!

9) JUS ONE – “Leave The Devil”(Produced by VACANT DREAMS)
Jus One is dedicated to giving you pure unadulterated Hip Hop. With “Leave The Devil,” the bar maestro leaves the sugarcoating for your waffles and instead pours you a pitcher of reality about faux friends, trickery, and wickedness that permeates the underbelly of the industry’s ratchetness dressed in glistening fashion, shallow promises, and fairytale betrayals desperately trying to pull you in. But Jus is wrapped in that armor of wisdom and skill that propels all these jackals in the mix. Roll authentic Hip Hop with Jus’s fierce flows and Vacant Dreams’ knocking speaker aesthetics.
