Bobby J From Rockaway x Daru Jones are sharing their fresh new video for “Look at What I Become” , which highlights their passion for crafting creative, entirely fresh hip-hop.

It’s just Bobby on the rhymes, Daru on the drums, and a few choice guests. It’s that back-to-basics vibe that carries into these visuals that Bobby shot and edited himself. Who needs anything flashy when you sound this good? But here’s the best part: You (yes YOU, the reader) can join Bobby and Daru on “Look at What I Become” through their newly announced remix contest.

2x Grammy Award-winning drummer Daru Jones of Rusic Records , known for his work with Jack White , Gloria Gayner , Pete Rock & Pharoahe Monch , teams up with Queens emcee Bobby J From Rockaway , who is coming off the release of a joint EP with Roc Nation producer Statik Selektah , for a new project entitled “One Mic & Drum” . The concept behind this unique project was to take rap back to its roots - 2 turntables and a microphone. Only instead of a DJ isolating and extending the percussion breaks, Daru creates his own breaks live on the drums. The project was recorded live over the course of a single studio session at Pinch Recording in Queens, New York, and was mixed and mastered by Caio Carvalho . Cover artwork by Sebastian White . “One Mic & Drum” is distributed through Fat Beats . An all instrumental version will also be available in the coming weeks. Source: Bobby J From Rockaway
