Newcastle born rapper/producer HJJ floats his statement Geordie sound down the Tyne and up the Thames, then proceeds to roll it some, on 8 wheels, through the streets of the Capital. He holds no punches as he breaks through the background noise of the London scene with 'The Empathy Project' - his recent debut self release.
As a cornerstone member of TwoSixtySix, HJJ frequently collaborates and performs live with CD Spinz, Fosterbeats, JAckie and Liiv.
A hip-hop head since the Fugees were still together. HJJ embodies the boom-bap sample fuelled style of production, with melancholy melodies over dirty, dusty breakbeats. When it comes to the words, this is an experience like no other. Not only set apart by his trademark Geordie accent, HJJ intricately weaves his unique flows and rhyme patterns. The subject matter ranging from introspective, urban philosophy and polemic attacks on dogmatic systems of control.
HJJ stands for freedom of thought and will represent that to the death. No bad idea is safe. No samples off limits. And the reason you need this in your playlist? Because like it or not, you need someone to tell you to...
...Think for yourself and question authority.
