Milwaukee Electro
I like it Retro. I like it Ghetto. But more importantly I like it when today’s artists knows what’s up and gives the people what they want-- a motherfuckin’ good show! Rapper/Producer/Performance Artist Juiceboxxx is just that. He’s been getting a lot of blog action and some main stream write ups like MixMag. Some have dubbed him the male version of Peaches. Others are calling him electro-geek-rap. One reviewer called him Lil’ Kim’s little white brother. I see him more on the lines of art school stuff.
Remember when you where a kid and you use to mix and make juice cocktails because you were like soooo bored with the normal favors? Mixing Orange soda with grape juice with a splash of 7-up...Well that's Juiceboxxx. The music production is high energy beats over fun goof-ball lyrics. And his partner in crime, Dre Skull keeps the box juicy.
I think his best attribute is catching him LIVE “fur sure”. This kid goes NUTS under the bright lights of a stage! Crawling on the floor, crowd surfing and screaming into the mic like Jesus Christ was on the receiving end. He’s also been playing all the right parties and catching on very quickly. He’s been hanging out in San Fran with Sleazemore and partying at Webster Hall in NYC. His fashion style is soooo early 90s and his attitude is "Let's have FUN!"
The hot traxxx right now is “Sweat”. A nice blend of quick aerobic workout beats accompanied by a very catchy harmonic piano. I love the end of the song were he’s screaming “GO” over a pounding drum solo. That’s when you get out of your seat and jump around, jump up up and get down! JUmp JuMp JuMP JUmP!
The video clip I’m including is “Thunder Jam 3”. I found “Thunder Jam 1.” Which then leads me to believe there must be “Thunder Jam 2” somewhere out there. There's is however a 2007 Thunder Jam 4 featuring Japanther thats more on the spacey basement show side.
Miami’s going to get a live performances by the Juiceboxxx for SpiderPussy 5th Anniversary Party, next month on Tuesday July 31st. And I’m excited to be apart of this show. So mark your calendars, figure out what you’re wearing now and take the next day off from work—it’s gonna be hectic. Couple of things you should keep in mind. Juiceboxxx is meant to be fun so leave the pretentiousness at home and instead exchange it for a few vodka tonics! And Ohhhh be ready to DANCE… REAL HARD!
Don’t forget to get buck wild Philly style wt Low B (Hollertronix) & MIA’s Contra (Money$hot & Dirty Disco) spinning SpiderPussy this Tuesday, June 26 @ PS14 28 NE 14th St. Downtown Miami. I’ll be on the patio creepin’ in some disko-phunx.
But he's awesome.
Good review. :)
