Jus Allah. His name means so many different things to so many people.
To some, he is the talented mc that first appeared on
Jedi Mind Tricks' undeniable classic album Violent by Design, then left the
group and spread unforgivable lies in an unforgettable interview.
To others his 5% laced lyrics make him a racist and Black supremacist.
To many that know him he is misunderstood and harmless at best.
Clearly there are many people that do not like Jus Allah.
In making this album, what we learned is that perhaps the best word to
describe Jus Allah is complex. When Jus left Jedi Mind Tricks he headed
to Boston and recorded almost three albums of material and prior to the
release of his debut album today, only five of these songs would go on
to appear on an internet only release. For one reason or another, Jus
Allah decided to reach out and take the first important steps to
reconcile with his former friends and co-members of Jedi Mind Tricks.
With those first steps towards reconciliation came the end of Jus
Allah's post departure journey and the beginning of his journey towards
the release of his debut album and possible full reconciliation.
While it was originally planned that Agallah would produce Jus Allah's
debut album in its entirety, contrary to rumors, it was Jus Allah
that decided to cut the total down to six Agallah tracks. The
remainder of the album would end up being a full representation of his journey as a developing mc after his departure from Jedi Mind Tricks some five years ago.
For those that have been keeping up with Jus Allah's recordings that
have leaked on the internet and/or appeared on internet only
compilations, remember you are in the minority and that the majority
are just discovering him. To a great extent, releasing a Jus Allah
record is like breaking a brand new artist -- Violent by Design came
out five years ago...a high school senior today was thirteen...
We at Babygrande believe we have not only protected Jus Allah's
legacy to the best of our ability with the release of his debut album
today, but more importantly we have given the possibility of a
Jus Allah-Jedi Mind Tricks reunion, which is not a given, the best
possible chance of happening.
Jus Allah's All Fates Have Changed is in stores today.
