::::::::::::::::: RUSIC MUSIC :::::::::::::::::
Combine live instruments with raw, soulful hip hop production and you have a distinct sound that is different from that of a beat machine (sampler/mpc) only.
This element is what makes Rusic Music one of the most sought out production companies in underground hip hop. Founded in 1996 by drummer/producer Daru Jones, Rusic takes pride in creating music for unsigned artist thus providing a platform for talent that is yet heard by the masses. Despite its growing popularity Rusic Music has maintained its integrity. Production is only granted to artists who create music that inspire and deliver positive messages.
Daru Beats Compilation Volume 2 (Title of Project: For promotional use only ) Avalible @ www.720records.com
:::::: Reign Starr's views on this project ::::::
Mr. Jones reveals his versatility as the song genres on this compilation span from jazz to rap. Listeners are also introduced to soul-hop. A style of music Daru describes as Hip Hop and Soul/R&B singing merged with classic Rusic production. True hip hop fans will also appreciate the presence of Dj Psycho's timeless instrumental featuring Wu-Tang Clan Old Dirty Bastard. The resonance of this project is aggressive yet remaining profanity free; instantly a classic.
