"Flying High Below The Radar"

Streetwise & Poetic Just-Is have been crafting this album over the course of the last year. The process has been one of personal growth for the duo. They worked hard to provide a sound scape that is raw, and emotional, but also one that celebrates life and uplifts the spirit. Their mission is to make good quality music, which shows originality, creativity, and the ability to impact people on a large scale. Songs like "Keep Holding" on and "Broken Dreams", remind you to continue to believe in yourself and never let go of your dreams. While they may be most at home on powerful, gripping songs, they have no problem transitioning in to smooth, party music. Songs like "She Lookin' Like" and "We Livin" are proof that these two have versatility and range in their music.

With songs that touch on most every subject, and mood, they provide depth and insight as far as content is concerned.
