Up and coming hip hop musician Grafton Street Jules releases newest single “Cloud 9 Rmx”

Grafton Street Jules, an up and coming hip hop musician from Hartford, Connecticut, has released his newest chart topping single, “Cloud 9 Rmx.”

Grafton Street Jules, an up and coming hip hop musician from Hartford, Connecticut, has released his newest chart topping single, “Cloud 9 Rmx.” The track heralds the forthcoming completion of his debut EP, “Sleep When I Am Dead,” which he plans to release sometime in the relatively near future, and has been published hot on the proverbial heels of “Pills and Dro,” which featured G. S. Jules friends Boosie and ESG. “Cloud 9 Rmx” features the underground rhyme styles of Precasso, Jarren Benton, and Dough Beezy.

Writing of the featured hip hop musicians on “Cloud 9 Rmx,” Grafton Street says, “Cloud 9 is a song that features 3 underground artists that partake in the use of recreational drugs for their enlightenment.” While this may sound disingenuous to cynics and naysayers of recreational substance use (not to be confused with substance ab-use) the “Cloud 9...” track is very clear about the sensations, experiences, and intents of the musicians concerned, and it is, not unlike other compositions from Grafton Street Jules, not a dumbed-down glorification of the drug culture to meet standards set by a hip hop fad. Rather, “Cloud 9...” stands as an assertion of political and philosophical beliefs and practices that cannot be justifiably ignored on the basis of ignorance. Grafton Street Jules has no music available to date that can be called anything but intelligent, premeditated, conscientious, and thought provoking.

Grafton Street Jules is a native of Hartford but moved to the northern Louisiana in order to secure his music career. He began as CEO of his record label but has been composing and performing his own music since 2012. His homage to Grafton Street, the aforementioned forthcoming EP, “Sleep When I am Dead,” is mostly produced by Reckless Dex. Grafton Street Jules “purposely remains very underground to make sure his music is timeless and unforgettable,” and with back-to-back quality releases like “Cloud 9 Rmx” and “Pills and Dro,” chances are that hip hop fans will be hearing about him for years to come – and the roar is only just now beginning.

Grafton Street Jules releases newest single “Pills and Dro”

Rap artist Grafton Street Jules has released his latest single, “Pills and Dro.” 

Rap artist Grafton Street Jules has released his latest single, “Pills and Dro.” He has released the single in anticipation of his larger release, the extended play album “Sleep When I am Dead.” Of the EP Grafton Street Jules says, “Basically, it’s a body of work that symbolizes hard work and lyricism,” which are the two qualities that stand out most in the “Pills and Dro” single, itself, so this is not surprising. The rapper also has a strong sense of humor that is equally showcased in “Pills...” He goes on to quip about his musical work ethic, “'Sleep When I am Dead' also features magnificent word play from today’s hungriest starving artist.”

Grafton Street Jules is a Connecticut hip-hop artist, but he was raised by parents from the South and has since relocated to that area. This has allowed him to feature such artists on his up and coming EP as Lil' Boosie and big Krit, as well as take advantage of the studio skills of Houston's DJ Lil' Steve.

Like many artists, Grafton Street Jules learned musicianship from the masters. He describes his internship like this: “I was introduced to music as a teenager. My brother gave me a NWA album and the rest is history.” While no self-respecting fan of hip hop has failed to give unending devotion to NWA, the same Compton crew that gave rise to Dr. Dre and Ice Cube among others, Jules had a more personal experience with music. “I always had friends that freestyled and recorded music,” he writes. “Naturally, I embraced the culture more and more.” Still, his work as a real musician began on a whim. “Last year I recorded my first song as a dare, and thereafter I took it serious.”

In fact, he takes it very seriously. No track is complete by Grafton Street Jules until extensive, exhaustive editing and revisions have taken place. His goal is perfection, his art is his goal. “I write my songs over and over. All my music is heavily influenced from artists I grew up listening to, so it’s mandatory that I pay homage every chance I get.”

The Grafton Street Jules single “Pills and Dro” is available online globally beginning late January, 2013.
