With influences ranging from hip-hop legends to musical pioneers from diverse genres, Tuji crafts an EP that stands as a testament to his eclectic taste and unparalleled talent.

1. Summertime Love: Tuji kicks off the release with a mellow groove for a few bars before really kicking in. The initial laid-back, summery vibe of the track merges seamlessly with Tuji’s smooth transitions, inserting clever references to sitting next to Spike Lee and some rather adult situations, with nods to Niagara Falls. The chorus’s infectious hook is bound to have listeners singing along all summer long!
2. 62: This track is a lyrical whirlwind where Tuji’s storytelling prowess shines through. His raw verses, seamlessly delivered paint a gritty yet vivid picture of life’s struggles and aspirations. Backed by a head-nodding beat, ’62’ captures the essence of hip-hop’s storytelling tradition while infusing it with a global twist.
3. Caribbean Sugar (feat. Beenie Man): Tuji joins forces with dancehall legend Beenie Man to create an explosive banger. The track effortlessly fuses Caribbean rhythms with hip-hop swagger, creating a contagious energy that’s impossible to resist. Explicit lyrics. Enough said.
4. Daddy was a Preacherman: Closing the EP with introspection and thought-provoking lyricism, ‘Daddy was a Preacherman’ dives deep into Tuji’s emotional reservoir. With poetic verses delivered in a medley of memories of his father, the track becomes a canvas for Tuji to reflect on his roots, his influences, and the complex layers of his father’s identity. The haunting production underscores the weight of the subject matter, leaving a lasting impact on the listener.

Tuji’s undeniable talent and multifaceted influences shine brightly throughout this release. Drawing inspiration from hip-hop icons like Tupac Shakur and Nas, Tuji infuses his own unique flavor by seamlessly blending languages, genres, and cultural references. His love for legends such as Michael Jackson, Scarface, Fela Kuti, Willie Nelson, and Loretta Lynn adds depth and complexity to his music, creating an unparalleled sonic experience.

The upcoming release W.I.T.S. is a sonic triumph, showcasing Tuji’s ability to connect with listeners on a global scale. Each track serves as a testament to Tuji’s dedication to his craft, and his willingness to push boundaries and explore uncharted territories in the world of hip-hop.
