Hazy Year’s instrumentals are multi-purposeful for enjoyment whether you are studying for an exam, struggling to fall asleep, or in need of refreshing vibes while sipping your morning coffee/tea, the soothing effect remains all the same. For example, on the flute-filled record “Soprano,” Juicebox cleverly remarks: “It’s simple, the only thing you’re pimpin’ is a pimple, while a thug would put a hole in your face not talkin’ dimple.” As for the producer, Hazy Year is an established producer out of Norway, incorporating primarily a mixture of lo-fi hip-hop with occasionally sprinkled elements of jazz and soul. Don’t be fooled by Juicebox’s nonchalant approach like Q-Tip, Juice is a highly skilled lyricist capable of igniting the tempo with aggression at any point in time. I immediately likened Juice’s sound to the legendary rap duo A Tribe Called Quest’s specifically Q-Tip’s as both emcees float over the instrumentals they touch. Juicebox’s style is super mellow, frequently meshing well with silky boom-bap, smooth jazz, and chilled lo-fi beats. Beyond being an extremely dope emcee, Juicebox also has a passion for photography, film, and skateboarding. That’s exactly what happened when I peeped Juicebox and Hazy Year’s collaborative Midnight Butter album, which is arguably my favorite project of 2020 so far! Self-proclaimed “Ellen DeGenreless,” Juicebox is a born and raised New York native currently residing in Los Angeles. It’s always a great feeling when you stumble upon a gem while searching for new music to listen to.
