“3Peat” is Jugg’s newest project filled with crazy beats and quality drums. Each song takes on a more modern sound with clicks for hi hats and claps for snares. It gives a modern day trap sound with a psychedelic splash. The synths and the constant beeping that is through the tape. “Gang with Me” uses a scream sample as a rhythm and it gives this tape even more character. It feels almost like you’re on this journey with Jugg as he slowly dives into madness and the instrumentals become even more left field. Distant synths with hard hitting drums create a great body of music to be lost in. Jugg’s well thought out vocals add a great spice to the plate. “BONANZA” is one of our personal favorites because Jugg shows off not only his writing ability but, his ability to sing his heart out as well with the verses and hook coexisting so perfectly. Check this tape out right now. It’s zero to a hundred the moment, you press play.
