Hip-Hop Lives Here
ROCHESTER, NY - Growing up separated from his family and in a lock-up facility made Justice Haze the man he is today. Instead of falling prey to the sadness and hatred of separation, he used the experience to mold the man he is today - a hip-hop artist and Trinity Recordz owner whose hands-on studio work propels him as a rising star.
“Most artists are afraid to be themselves. They watch social media and become clout chasers,” said Justice Haze. “They write their songs and sell out the process of originality because they’re trying to be someone else. As soon as you do that, you deny your soul its chance to speak.”
Allowing his soul to speak is the foundation of all Haze’s work which begins during the writing process. Haze starts by hearing a tune in his mind and mimics it while adding a beat and harmony.
“I instantly hear it and the chorus. Then I know exactly what is supposed to go with the song and how I’m going to do it,” he explained. “I’ll start humming the song first to catch the vibe and make sure that I’m entering the right frequency. Hearing a song and its natural tune is a phenomenal place. It is then that you cross over to this realm with the song.”
Evidence for Haze’s genius is found in his latest track, “Up’s and Down’s.” The upbeat song contains a vibration like how the first cup of morning coffee energizes you throughout the day. “Everybody needs that cup of java just to get their day going. I thought I could make a song that can qualify to people as energy for their cup of java that they gotta have,” he said.
Describing the song’s deeper meaning, Haze added, “Up’s and Down’s” lets fans know that while life has its ups and downs, “you cannot run from problems but be ready to keep your feet on the ground and get at it.”
Blending melodic hooks with a contagious harmony between the music and lyrics, “Up’s and Down’s” showcases Haze’s ability to grind out a song showcasing his musicality consistency and quality musicianship. As his discography grows, Haze proves he is a consistent artist that only produces quality music, resulting from his studio collaboration with engineers and producers. Haze knows what he wants.
Letting others get in on the magic, Haze revealed the upcoming “Up’s and Down’s” music video would include video clips submitted by fans. More information will be announced on his socials on how fans can submit their workout clips to be used in the video.
With purity in his music like no other, Haze guarantees fans that his music is free of lies, “There is no deceitfulness in it. This is purity. You can grow from this - play this music, and you can grow into a better person. This music can change your life.”
Justice Haze knows that it can. He has transformed his life into an artist reaching for the stars with each lyrical rhyme and beat in just a few years.

Would Johnny Marr place one of his solo songs ahead of favourites from The Smiths and Electronic? His choices are revealed in NME’s Blind Ranking video below.
Ahead of the release of ‘The Age Of Everything’, which arrived last Friday, October 2, NME sat down with the guitarist for a look back through his catalogue. Marr was challenged to place five songs in order of greatness, choosing a position for each without knowing which song would follow.
Electronic’s ‘Getting Away With It’ came first, with Marr saying it “goes down very very well, even if people are hearing it for the first time”. Next came ‘Spin’, taken from his latest solo album. Reflecting on the newer song, he admitted that “not everybody knows it, but it makes an impression”.
When ‘This Charming Man’ by The Smiths came up, Marr observed: “Obviously it’s very well known, but it goes by so quick.” The track remains a “connection” to his younger self, he explained: “I can hear the young man who wrote those guitar parts”. He described his 2014 solo release ‘Easy Money’ as “pretty catchy”, adding that it “goes off bigger than any other at any gig”. He then considered another much loved Smiths song, ‘There Is A Light That Never Goes Out’.
“Beautiful song to play. Very proud of it still,” Marr reflected. Recalling a recent performance in Liverpool, he added that “it occurred to me that it’s the ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ of my generation.”
See where each song landed in Marr’s ranking by watching the video below, then share your own order in the Instagram comments.
The wider conversation with NME covered his “emphatic” album ‘The Age Of Everything’, his admiration for The Cure and Fontaines D.C., and his thoughts on why Andy Burnham should be able to listen to The Smiths. Read the complete interview with Marr here.
A Liverpool concert on November 14 is next on Marr’s schedule, followed by a brief run of dates with stops in Mexico, São Paulo and Chile. His largest solo headline performance to date at OVO Arena Wembley had been planned for later this month, but has been postponed, with a replacement date yet to be announced.
