South central rapper Jay 305 grabs Joe Moses and DJ Mustard for his first single "Thuggin." The aggressive song is a complete 180 from Mustard's usual breezy and calculated production, leaning on heavier synths and a hard 808 bounce for the rappers to spit over. Jay's talent of vivid storytelling and hard hitting lyrics is a great advantage for his music, serving as a gateway to walk the listener through his often frightening life. Joe Moses puts in work here as well, finding a exceptional pocket within the beat and creating a unforgettable verse with his rubbery flow. Listen to the song below and purchase it on iTunes here.
