J.U.S & Squadda B - 3rd Shift (2024)
"3rd Shift" is a collaborative album between Detroit rapper J.U.S and Oakland producer Squadda B, showcasing the natural synergy between Detroit and Oakland's hip-hop scenes. Their connection harkens back to the early collaborations between the Street Lord'z and Bay Area icons like E-40 and Too $hort. The album presents J.U.S's witty and autobiographical storytelling, reflecting both his Detroit player status and ordinary struggles. Squadda's unorthodox beats, disconnected from modern trends, keep J.U.S on his toes, creating a dynamic and unpredictable sound. Tracks like "Da Best Out" and "Nascar" highlight J.U.S's humorous yet personal rhymes, while Squadda’s instrumentals push him in various directions. "3rd Shift" is a testament to the enduring bond between these two rap meccas, delivering an organic and vivid portrayal of their shared musical heritage.
