The Hall Of Justus is always on the move, pulling a caper or two. And while the head Dogs are away on business, there is bound to be a pup back at the kennel, preparing for his solo strike.

Drawing energy from his live band is how he traces his outline while his canvas of abstract poetry brings the dimensions to fruition, as evidenced by his “Upside Down” exhibit.

It’s always good to see new HOJ material floating through the inbox. For “Y’all Don’t Want It,” the NYC branch of the tree, Chaundon, joins forces with producer M-Phazes and Carlitta to let emcees know there’s a line drawn in the sand that separates him from the pack. Read the rest of this entry »

However, coming out virtually unscathed from a frightening car crash will be. With that in mind, it was almost a no brainer to approach Joe and revisit the project where he would go on to reveal the step-by-step process behind each entry in his debut confessional.

Funny how life can have its ups and downs all in the same work day. No less than 24 hours after releasing a career highlight in Not Your Average Joe EP, Joe Scudda – along with Rapper Big Pooh, Jozeemo, Chaundon and manager Big Dho – had a brush with death as their van did a 360° turn on the freeway in Vermont.

You know why I like Joe Scudda? Because he’s like us.

Rapper Big Pooh has done his part in combating the increasing wave of competition in tasteful fashion this year. First it was The Delightful Bars, an album of several variations which Pooh declares is “the greatest mixtape ever” and onto the crew love venture with HOJ soldiers Joe Scudda, Chaundon & Jozeemo on Reservoir Dogs.

What’s funkier than a pimp in platforms giving dap on the Black hand side? Black Dynamite that’s what! And Chaundon is waving the HOJ flag to make sure the streets are safe with his series of Blaxtapes in Black Dynamite & Black Dynamite’s Revenge. Read the rest of this entry »

Shit…you shoot me in a dream, you better wake up and apologize…

If Hall of Justus is the Navy, then Getback is the Army and the North Carolina soldiers have come to snatch up all the goods. But they’re not talking jewels. On the contrary, they’re here to bombard the game with their lyrical gems on the group effort Reservoir Dogs. Starring Jozeemo as Mr. Pink, Joe Scudda as Mr. Blonde, Chaundon as Mr. White and Rapper Big Pooh as Mr. Orange, the official Hip-Hop heist is finally here for the taking.
