Willie Isz is made up of hip hop veterans Khujo Goodie of Goodie Mob and Jneiro Jarel. The two artists collaborated to form a new group, on Lex Records, where they imagine a Utopian 51st US state in which hip hop clichés have been banned. Khujo Goodie (of Goodie Mob, Dungeon Family & long-time Outkast collaborator) brings a dirrrty South twist while Jneiro Jarel mixes up golden 90s, Crunk and Snap beats with psychedelic rock influences.
“We definitely want to keep that Dungeon, Goodie Mob, OutKast vibe. A lot of hip-hop is lacking that soul that Dungeon Family used to bring to the table. We’re holding on to that,” says Jneiro.
Gosohaurd (Milky Way Mix by Dr. Who Dat?) is available for your listening pleasure exclusively on the Upper Playground website. You can purchase Willie Isz’s album Georgiavania, featuring cover art by James Jarvis, online on iTunes, Amazon, Best Buy, Lex Records, In Sound, F.Y.E. and Target.
