Bruiser Brigade has been slowly but surely building a killer crew and catalogue of work - with us today are two of its rising stars.

J.U.S is an entertaining and distinctly unique lyricist, producer, and engineer. Squadda B, formerly of Main Attrakionz fame, helped shape the dominating 2010s psychedelic cloud rap scene, and is still innovating and pushing his craft to new places as a solo rapper and producer.

Together they’ve created one of 2024’s most wildly fun and entertaining records in 3rd Shift, an album that demands that you play it back to back to back...

In this episode, they discuss life in the Bruiser Brigade, their strong synergy as a duo, and their approach to creating their fantastic new album, 3rd Shift.
