Dux Jones - 100 Racks - FrontStreet Records
100 Racks
52/50′s soul and passion are the back bone of FrontStreet’s movement, despite those warlike sentiments of ambition and faith which pour out of ever note played and every word sung. FrontStreet’s mission lies in the story of believing in ourselves from a penny to “100 racks”. Although, “100 Racks” is not a story about money, on here, Dux Jones roars at the competition with several unapologetic bars and thought provoking lyrics over piano, bass, and drum in a simple enough manner to capture more than just your average hip hop connoisseur.

10 GRAND
It’s a sad world we live in when 10 grand is “rich”. The ambition to succeed tears a hustler’s soul apart; the fears, the doubts, the looking over your shoulder, the cars, the ice, the women, and GOD…
In the new installment of 52/50, Dux Jones offers a realistic look inside the life of a hustler; not the mansions with marble floors, but the accomplishment of grinding till he can say “no more”, maybe!
Jones’ rhymes from the perspective of a young man who’s got 10 grand stashed away with hopes of kicking his feet up.
The Skouts provide a grimy 808 heavy beat for Dux to discuss his characters exploits with women, cars, and money. This is a realistic success story in a game that is over saturated with exaggerated tales of hustling.

WORLD FAMOUS LOSERS
When you hear the words “World Famous” spoken, you anticipate prestige, when the word “Loser” is uttered it illustrates failure. With such an oxymoron for an album title, it makes one wonder- what are the contents of this work? What’s the message? It’s simple; with desire comes work and although you’ve been ridiculed and “destined” to fail, you work to prove yourself right NOT to prove anyone wrong!
The WFL Compilation has it all; striking melodies (“Cut, Color, Clarity”, “Maneater”, “Do it”, “Breaking all the Laws”), striking lyrics (“What it look like?”, “Catch me Illin”, “Major”), a taste of reality (“Star”, “Remember Me”), and stellar production from The Skouts that will without a doubt set a new standard for the way music is made.
The squad goes hard on the albums introduction, “Bare Witness,” and wastes no time showing you their hunger and ambition. One of the true delights of this project is the natural cohesion of Dux Jones and Oseeola on tracks like “Major,”“What it look like,” “Yellow Tape,” and “10 Freaky Girls.” Their unique lyrical styles blend perfectly and the two sound like they’ve been rapping together their whole lives.
On “Star” we hear Jab pour his heart out in an effort to help his family understand why he is working tirelessly to pursue his dream. “Cut Color Clarity”, by Oseeola & J. Strode, is a girl’s best friend, while the bonus track “Maneater” by Dux Jones is the lead off single from FrontStreet that is getting terrestrial radio acknowledgment worldwide and has been featured TWICE on iTUNES in the “New & Noteworthy” category.
World Famous Losers will definitely establish the “World Famous Loser” ideology as reality. Anything you want, you work for. “They” will judge and ridicule, God, and your work ethic, will promote and advance you!
FrontStreet Records is known for its unusual marketing and branding strategies for the label and its artists. Now, with the release of “The World Famous Losers,” FrontStreet is taking creativity to a whole new level.
