J.Stalin is back with a new video for his track “Basic,” but let me tell you, ain’t nothin’ basic about this release. Known as an Oakland legend who helped usher in the second wave of Mob Music in the Bay, J.Stalin continues to release music that resonates in Cali and beyond. The video for “Basic,” follows Stalin and Lyjah as they cruise around the city “minding their spaceships,” aka Audi convertibles and charged-up Challengers. His new album, Prenuptial Agreement 2 is a testament to the passion Stalin continues to invest in his music and his community. Maneuvering from love songs to hustlers’ anthems and back with effortless ease, the proudly independent artist cements his rightful place in Bay Area history.
Catch Stalin on the Livewire Reunion Tour, hitting cities across the West Coast. The tour reunites the original Livewire Records crew, including Bay Area royalty Philthy Rich and Lil Blood. The Livewire Reunion Tour hits Club Insomnia in Oakland on May 19th and May 20th.
