The J.U.S. Evolution
Bio: The J.U.S. Evolution Bio American Dream His childhood friends in Far Rockaway thought he was strange for listening to Rock music. As a young rapper, his penchant for rhyming over live instrumentals confused A&Rs. P. Diddy confessed he dug his style, but would playfully describe him as a "weird dude." Others have called him "different," "odd," "eccentric," but never has he been labeled a conformist. After nearly a decade of uncompromising dedication to his craft, Jus (born: Allah Ricks) has finally realized his lifelong dream --The J.U.S Evolution.
