::::::::::::::::: 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.
