DJ JS-1 (feat. Murs & Fashawn) – “Whatever It Takes” (It Is What It Isn’t LP)
2 min read
DJ JS-1 has been dropping bangin’ singles from his It Is What It Isn’t LP. First he drops the “Turn The Tables” joint featuring O.C. and now this. Ever the genius of sardonic album titles (and of course, um … turntablism!) his songs are both head-nodding and thought provoking.
Producing both the beats and the scratches on his projects JS-1 collars with a plethora of ill MC’s including KRS-One, O.C, Ras Kass, The Artifacts, Buckshot, Ill Bill, Erick Sermon, Homeboy Sandman, Wordsworth, Fashawn, Torae, Breez Evahflowin’, PackFM, Ruste Juxx, Sadat X and Kyle Rapps, just to name a few! (No really there’s more.) Peep the tracklist for the complete list and then stream or support by buying the album with the links below.
