Hip-Hop Lives Here
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.

Calebdoee’s new hip hop single “YOU&ME” turns up the heat with a steamy beat built around guitar chords and echoing water drops.
The carefully crafted lyrics are all about “us versus the world,” and an ode to the woman who is “the only one that I want to be next to.”
Go ahead, take away everything that’s stressing me
I promise I never fumble, come take a jet with me
Cause my word is all I got
Music and your love I never flop
It don’t matter what they see
It’s gotta be you and me
Part of a three-song EP titled The Leftovers, “YOU&ME” was recorded at Successful Musik Studios in Fort Wayne.
Born Caleb Martin, the Indiana-based rapper’s previous release was a concept album, Corleone: Part II. Inspired by the iconic main character from The Godfather, for the release Calebdoee took on the persona of Don Corleone, exploring themes of gangsters, family, and destiny. The album explores romance as well, and tracks like “Apollonia (Apple Of My Eye)” foreshadow the current single.
With “YOU&ME,” Caleb says he is getting back to himself. He’s writing about his own life, and focused on having fun with music.
He says, “This mixtape was me being able to get back to form, be true to me before I started working on the project and being able to shape my mindset back to just getting back to having fun with music.”
Calebdoee has been releasing music since 2019, when he dropped his first mixtape, Few Know. On that record he worked with engineer T-Zank, with whom he teamed up again on the current single and EP. “Zank” has been a strong creative partner for Calebdoee, not only engineering but also mixing, mastering, and co-producing tracks.
The 29-year-old rapper first got turned on to music production while taking an audio engineering class in high school. With those production skills, he knew he could build on his high regard for the old school sound of hip hop — think jazz, conscious, and boom-bap subgenres — to create new music that does justice to the artform.
The album art for The Leftovers was created by Caleb’s sister, Kelsey (“ogkillakels”), who does all of the rapper's cover art. He says, “She’s done all my covers; we’ve got years worth of covers. She’s one of the biggest contributors to my music, and I couldn’t be more thankful for my sister.”
As Calebdoee keeps building momentum in the Midwest hip hop scene, “YOU&ME” is a showcase for both his musical talents and his personality. With a music video and live performances on deck for this summer, things are heating up quickly for Calebdoee and his new recordings.
“YOU&ME” is out now with promotional support from Starlight PR. Follow Calebdoee at the links below.
