New York, NY (Top40 Charts) 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.
The single "Cloud 9 Rmx" is distributed globally by MondoTunes (www.MondoTunes.com) and is available at iTunes or www.top40-charts.com for convenient purchase and download
