JAYSUN's debut single "Sudden Change" feat. PISMO on iTunes now!!!

2010-07-31T21:05:00.003-04:00

JAYSUN, the multi-talented emcee/producer hits with his Shou Records debut single "Sudden Change" featuring hip-hop aficionado, PISMO. Produced by BEATHEAD, "Sudden Change" is a head nodding track that pays tribute to the real hip hop movement. JAYSUN rhymes with a tenacity like no other while PISMO anchors the track with exceptional wordplay. The B-side, "F.U.M.C’s" is produced by PISMO and is out of this world. "F.U.M.C’s" starts with a “speak and spell” phrase then hits with violins and hard drums to make your body shake. JAYSUN attacks this song with excellence & precision. Beware! This universal MC from the West is rough, ready & willing to bring a "Sudden Change" to the game. Be sure to pick up the new single on iTunes here.

以下はPismoのメッセージです。

「Mushroom Studio、ニューヨークからのメッセージだ！
アイスランド、カリフォルニア、ベイエリア色々飛び回って、NYに戻って来たよ。最近の僕のライフについて少し話そう。２００９年には新しい作品を間違いなく出していくよ。もう聞いたかなもしれないけどKenichiro Nishiharaのアルバムに１曲「Consider my Love」という曲に参加してるよ。この曲は僕の幼年期、家族、友達、高校の頃の事などについて、歌ってラップもしてる。凄く良い曲だからチェックしてみてよ。まだ詳細は言えないけど３月の終わりにもフィーチャーで他のプロジェクトにも参加してるから、そっちもチェックしてみて。今年は自分のプロジェクトもリリースするし、２年ぶりに日本もライブにも行くよ！自分の待望のアルバム "The Way of the Future" もShou Recordsからリリースするから、その準備をバッチリしておいてくれ！Peace!」
