“ON THIS BEAT”
Four young creators—Jade, Judah, CJ, and Dmitri—teamed up to craft a unique hip-hop track built entirely from vocal-made instruments. Jade, Judah, and CJ laid down a full beat using nothing but their voices, layering percussion, chants, and vocal elements.

This is a standout, all-vocal hip-hop banger that marks the crew’s first official collaborationwiththeEastStudio.
