Independent hip-hop artist, JU Rusine, is making a name for himself with a unique sound. He blends French rap with elements from hip-hop, R&B, and African music.
Rusine lives in Maine, United States. He uses his personal experiences, dreams, and cultural background to create music that connects different cultures and musical styles.
His music journey started when he was young. He was inspired by the radio, music, and artists he heard growing up. His first real connection to hip-hop came through break-dancing.
In a statement to Saturday Beats, Rusine shared that he was part of SICK CITY, a well-known dance crew in Rwanda. Over time, his focus shifted to songwriting and rap.
While in boarding school, he met other young artists. This is where he began writing songs and improving his skills as a rapper.
After moving to the United States, Rusine took a break from writing and recording music. But he returned to it with fresh energy and has been building his catalogue as an independent artist.
He has released several songs over the years. He has worked with artists like Malz-B, Alain IG, and other up-and-coming talents. He promotes his music through streaming platforms, social media, music videos, and live shows.
Rusine is also keen on helping the independent music scene grow. He wants to create platforms and opportunities for artists in hip-hop, R&B, and Afro-inspired music.
His latest song, ‘Vendetta’, features Mazimpaka Prime and Alain IG. It shows another step in his musical journey.
The song highlights Rusine’s changing sound while keeping the personal storytelling and authenticity that are key to his music. The video is inspired by the 1999 film, ‘The Matrix’, and looks at how artificial intelligence is affecting society today.
