German production duo JR & PH7 are two producers who have an extensive resume and an acclaimed reputation on the hip-hop scene. This is not the first go-around for a collaboration with Sacramento’s Chuuwee, but the first full length effort and certainly their most crafted, complete body of work. There’s no denying that the three of them have ridiculous amounts of chemistry.

“This sh*t might be too real for the untrained ear.” – Chuuwee

JR & PH7 and Chuuwee‘s collaborative record The South Sac Mack is finally available to the public. For those who’ve been trailing our posts at RESPECT. Mag leading up to this release we know you’ve been waiting for this. Just getting on board? It’s all good. Let’s briefly take a look at the album and walk through the details together before you tune in to this jewel.

If you’ve been living in the dark, German production duo JR & PH7 are two beat smiths who have an extensive resume and an acclaimed reputation on the hip-hop scene. This is not the first go-around for a collaboration with Sacramento’s Chuuwee, but the first full length effort and certainly their most crafted, complete body of work. There’s no denying that the three of them have ridiculous amounts of chemistry.

This may be the closest you get to a ride through Sacramento streets without actually visiting, while Chuuwee displays solid story telling and situational endeavors over JR & PH7’s convincing soundscapes. Aside the locational execution, relatable subjects were addressed – growing up, family ties, relationships and the power of a dollar. The features are tasteful, but don’t overwhelm the lp, with help from the wests own Blu, St3wart KooL, Bueno and Sean LaMarr. In total the record is an amazing release for 2015, as there is still a lot of phony “hip-hop” being released. This is one for your collection, so be sure to grab the digital copy, physical copy, or your 2LP vinyl version in a few weeks. Peace and love.

“Meadowview Morning“ is the second single taken from JR & PH7 and Chuuwee‘s collaborative full length release, “The South Sac Mack“ produced by the European duo JR & PH7 and rhymes by Chuuwee, where he gets support from Bueno and Sean LaMarr. As Chuuwee explains: ”Meadowview Morning is my reflection of growing up in the notorious Meadowview neighborhood in South Sacramento. Every morning before school I was awaken by gunshots, fights, sirens and the sounds of crime and poverty.”

“The South Sac Mack” is based on stories of Chuuwee’s teenage years growing up in South Sacramento and is set to drop March 24th via Below System Records. Purchase the single.
