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.

Dead Kennedys Guitarist Claims Jello Biafra Is Holding Back Potential Reunion

image

Fans wishing for a reunion from the Dead Kennedys and Jello Biafra will have to petition the former singer, founding guitarist East Bay Ray has claimed.

Ray (whose real name is Raymond Pepperell) has served as the guitarist for the San Francisco punk icons since their formation in 1978, stepping away from his role only during the band’s inactive period between 1986 and 2001. 

Though the Dead Kennedys reformed in the 21st century, they’ve not once been fronted by Biafra, whose relationship with Ray and drummer Klaus Flouride (aka Geoffrey Lyall) remains fraught to this day. As Ray explained in a recent interview with Guitar World, he’s open to the concept of a reunion with the classic lineup, though Biafra remains the sticking point in any potential plans.

“It’s not an issue for me or Klaus,” Ray explains. “It’s Biafra that turns down any offers for us to do something; we don’t have any problem. He got caught with his hands in the till and wants to blame us for getting caught, but he should never have put his hands in there in the first place.

Ray’s claims relate to a 1998 lawsuit in which Ray, Flouride and drummer D.H. Peligro (aka Darren Henley, who would pass away in 2022) accused Biafra and his Alternative Tentacles label of withholding royalties. In 2003, Biafra was ordered by California’s Court of Appeal to replay the outstanding royalties with additional punitive damages.

Ray, Flouride and Peligro reunited the Dead Kennedys in 2001, with various singers fronting the band until the appointment of Ron “Skip” Greer in 2008. Attempts to reunite the classic members of the Dead Kennedys have taken place over the years, including by Chicago’s Riot Fest in 2017.

“Dead Kennedys had a sincere invitation to play a reunion show at Riot Fest in Chicago this fall,” Ray wrote on social media at the time. “Jello Biafra turned it down. Klaus Flouride, DH Peligro and I were looking forward to doing it.”

The Dead Kennedys’ original eight-year run resulted in a string of singles and four studio albums, including their 1980 debut Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables. The conclusion of the band’s lawsuit in 2003 gave members the right to reissue past Dead Kennedys albums, including a 2022 release of their debut which left Biafra displeased.

“We actually wrote as a band, where in effect, due to the chemistry between us, it was a case of two and two equaling five, you know?” Ray rold Guitar World. “None of us has had a solo career that was bigger than Dead Kennedys, which, to me, shows the power of a bunch of talented people getting together and creating something that was far greater than the sum of its parts.

“Jello didn’t bring in the songs. I know he’s created the myth that he wrote them all, but the question here is that if he did, why didn’t he ever do anything significant after leaving the band?” he added. “Iggy left the Stooges and had a career; ditto Lou Reed with the Velvet Underground or Morrissey with the Smiths. Where’s Biafra’s solo career with a bunch of great songs?”
