Posted by In an era where trends shift overnight, Here$ Johnny (North Florida) and Rocks One (Pennsylvania) stand firmly rooted in purpose with their new collaborative project, “Words of War.” Produced entirely by WILDERNESS (Colorado) and Chief Rocks (Pennsylvania), the album is a gritty revival of 90s boom bap aesthetics filtered through present-day realities.
At its core, “Words of War” is a survivalist manifesto. The project revisits the raw DNA of classic boom bap while addressing modern resistance and lived experiences. Here$ Johnny and Rocks One deliver sharp, unfiltered verses that reflect real-world tension, projecting an anti-oppressor ideology rooted in authenticity rather than nostalgia alone.
Lyrically, both Here$ Johnny and Rocks One thrive in this pressure-filled environment. Their words feel urgent and deliberate, reinforcing the project’s narrative. The production from WILDERNESS and Chief Rocks provides the perfect foundation for “Words of War.” Their grimy, no-frills approach enhances the project’s tone, crafting a soundscape that boom bap purists will immediately recognize and appreciate.
Adding to its depth, “Words of War” was crafted with collectors in mind. Designed to be experienced in its entirety or split into two chapters, physical copies are available on vinyl, cassette, and CD via DITCD.com, reinforcing the album’s dedication to the culture. For digital listeners, the project is currently available on Bandcamp and YouTube, with full streaming platform availability scheduled for January 2026.
