Juss | External Fantasies, One Man Army
First off, what a visual. Juss in his latest music video ‘External Fantasies’ captured the forefront of Rap Fiesta in a matrix style affair. Not only was Juss caught between taking the red pill or the blue pill, but he was also entranced by female beauties in a melodic melancholy banger. What’s more impressive than the visual itself, is the fact that Juss produced, mixed, and mastered the song AND edited the video. As if songwriter, music producer, vocalist, and sound engineer weren’t enough of a resume, Juss goes ahead and add’s videographer to the mix. These type of artists are amongst the needles in the haystack, they do not come around often.
The song is enhanced with candy-like vocals and sweet engineering that slaps harder than the girl you cheated on. External Fantasies is emotional, it’s raw and it’s unapologetic. Rap Fiesta got in touch with Juss and asked the one-man army where he got the inspiration, and he had this to say,
External Fantasies is inspired by the infatuation of loving someone and caring for someone without doing the same to yourself first…a fatal flaw that all of us as humans hold. My External Fantasy was realizing this truth but still wanting to try to make things work… even though it was designed to fail. When you have a fantasy about something your dreaming of it from your reality…the fact of the matter is there are always two sides of a story
The visual in and of itself is more a film, than a music video. You’ll be bumping your noggin while sitting on the edge of the seat waiting for what’s next. His creamy vocals guide you through the somber movie with Juss encountering dangerous situations. At one point, the artist gets kidnapped- tied down to a chair, and wakes up in a different universe.
He starts off the song with a soft demeanor and then unleashes into soul ripping doubles underneath his lead vocal to demand your attention. You’ll be glued to the screen while your ears are fancied to the tune of a poignant hit.
With only a year and a half of experience under his belt, his progress is impressive. His self-sufficiency, and talent in a multitude of areas will propel Juss and External Fantasies to the forefront of the industry. It doesn’t need to be said, but Juss clearly has a love and passion for learning- and the fact that he can produce a record, perform on it, and create a visual for it, by himself if we may add, is uncanny. We asked Juss how much farther he can possibly go, and what he’s working on next- and he answered in classic Juss fashion,
I work on music every day whether it’s the production ,vocal exercises, learning a new technique or even expanding skills to other fields like videography or marketing. I’m in the middle of working on a new project that will triumph all my previous work and I’m really excited about it.
The man just won’t be stopped. We know, you want the project- well Rome wasn’t built in a day. Greatness takes time to cultivate, and by the way Juss puts in work- Rap Fiesta has no doubts it will be beautiful. You’re lucky enough to have External Fantasies to mend your broken heart in the meantime. Be sure to stay tuned with the multi-faceted artist on Instagram, and follow along the journey before the rest of the world.
