Sacramento, CA - “I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.” [Philippians 3:12-14]

Time seems to be moving faster than ever. When the world operates at a break-neck pace, it can be easy to get lost in the movement. From grind culture to “keeping up with the Joneses”, the pressure to be seen as successful has never been more intense. It can seem nearly impossible to not be swept up and thrown to the side.

On his newest release, JusJames is encouraging listeners to avoid be tossed by the Whirlwind.

The return of the 3-verse song!

California emcee and Polished Arrow Music artist JusJames delivers an iconic record featuring two legends in the Christian rap genre.

Mission (Sacramento, CA) and former Cross Movements Records artist R-Swift (Philadelphia, PA) join JusJames on the Chris Pickett produced record. In addition to the OG’s, DJ Navin Johnson also brings his turntable expertise to the song to elevate it to instant classic status with his amazing record scratches.

Whirlwind is everything that true hip hop heads love about the genre.

Whether you are looking for high-level lyricism, seeking out perfectly selected samples, waking up the neighborhood with hard-hitting kicks, or simply riding to golden-era west coast synths, you’ll find it all with Whirlwind. Add in a simple, yet memorable, hook, and you have the elements that come together to create a song that stands the test of time.

At the heart of this hip hop masterclass is the message of Jesus Christ. These incredible artists keep the “main thing” the main thing! Their eyes are on the Lord in the midst of chaos and distractions looking to detour them from the calling on their lives.

Whirlwind releases to digital streaming platforms on July 28, 2023.

Included in the release are both the original and and the Chopped & Screwed version of the record. The Chopped & Screwed iteration was done by USB The Jeweler which serves as a perfect compliment and a nod to an era that is often overlooked in today’s musical landscape. Not only is it a bonus for listeners, but it showcases how a piece of art can be displayed in a variety of ways to connect with a larger audience.

Add Whirlwind to your Top Rap, Get Hype, and Classic Hip Hop playlists.
