The cornerstone is the most important stone set in a foundation. All other stones placed around the cornerstones provide structure and strength to build a monument that will stand as a reminder of the creative genius used to place such a structure together. NJ Hip-Hop now has a new foundation built upon MC marksmanship that will make a statement for the next 5 to 10 years of what is and what can be. The official cornerstones of the culture have been laid and now the bar has been raised when it comes to not only music but building something new in a Hip-Hop community known for competition not fellowship and unity.


NJ Hip-Hop especially in Essex County NJ, has a history of competition and the false belief of non support being given to the artists in the culture as well. Today's generation of NJ Hip-Hop defies that with a new movement being made with 4 MCs becoming the cornerstones of the new NJ Hip-Hop movement. It takes four corners to establish a foundation to build a monument, and also to build a movement that will take place to establish the new era of sound in a community. J1Da, Samad Savage, Blaze the Rebel and Solis each bring something to the new foundation of Hip-Hop that not only NJ needs to see but the culture needs to hear as well.


J1DA brings honest emotion to Hip-Hop and that is something we sorely lack when it comes to being real about who the artist is and how they bring us into their world of living a life that ever evolves day to day and rhyme to rhyme. J1DA is a growing artist that achieves more by living and it reflects not only in his projects but his creativity as his sound matures.


J1Da Live Performance:



Solis is of Hispanic decent and he brings not only a new flavor of lyricism to the game, he is also the philosopher of this group. His music reflects the inner soul and the identity of the MC that creates music and lives through it. Solis has released freestyles that have shown how incredible his flow and lyrics are but he also has a project inspired by Bob Marley's influence. He stands for realness, and for the freedom of musical expression.


Solis Live Performance:



Blaze The Rebel is an MC that lives and vibes through his journey in life. He is energy and sound. Blaze released a great album in 2021 entitled "Sanford" and his journey and growth has been a musical portrait of expression. Being a visual artist as well his passion for the eyes marrying the sound of his music will lead him to be the the foresight in the development of The Cornerstone movement.


Blaze The Rebel Live Performance:



Samad Savage has grown and taken the journey to be the next representative of NJ Hip-Hop. NJ suffers from the curse of being lyrical but not producing a sound that can grow both in the underground and mainstream music scenes. He has managed to do both with his new album and being featured on NBA 2K22. By joining with the 3 other MCs in this group, Samad will not only bring out his best work by working with artists he vibes with. We will see more of his creativity and freedom when it comes to being the artist he dreams to be. Time will only tell how great he and they all will be.



The Cornerstones represent the next hope of Truth, Fun, Lyricism, Love, Identity, Energy and the Vision of what Hip-Hop is. This new Super Group is a tent pole in the culture because where lack of faith has been planted, we now have a new seed of unity that is planted and growing in the soil that Hip-Hop loves to build it's name upon. With the release of Humble Beginnings we have seen the future of Hip-Hop with Visual creativity, lyrical genius and more importantly unity built through love of the art. The Cornerstones are going to be groundbreaking and if the collective stays true to each other and the culture they represent, there is no place they will not reach. All negativity and hate will be welcomed as they prove their doubters wrong. All love and support will also be welcomed as the seed produces the influence of the new movement in Hip-Hop that was built on the pillars of the culture. Peace, Love, Unity and having Fun is the foundation of Hip-Hop and the cornerstones of the Culture are now embodied in the 4 MCs that represent that bringing soul into the game as well. We present The Cornerstones to you and cut the ribbon on the new foundation of greatness to come from Garden State Hip-Hop.

Healing - The process of making or becoming sound or healthy AGAIN

Truth is when life introduces us into the world with a pure out look. We are born with a healthy concept of the world and give our innocence unto it. We entertain and stimulate our souls, with the joy of newness with bright opened eyes. As the world matures in our eye sight and innocence turns into experience, the life we had expectations of becomes a concrete lesson in cause and effect. The joy, pain and the many ups and downs life takes us through becomes relatable and we look for music to aid us in understanding how to channel these emotions. We look for hope, in the rhythm and words we play into our spirits to aid our coping and learning from and about the many roads life takes us through.


The Soul Needs Healing is not a single listening session type of album. This is a project that is made to make the listener think and consider where they stand in relation to the song and in some respects in their life's journey. The blessing of The Soul Needs Healing project, is that the songs talk about the inner person and their mind. The project addresses how a person can walk in the world aware of themselves and the influence they will have on others. Part one of healing by definition is the process that starts with the mind in thought and with the beat in music. The Hit System gives Quis Chandla a means of not only being able to orate his lyrics but plants the vibe in fertile rhythm that blossoms into profound delivery and spirit. This is the healing of the sound and marriage of harmony to the ear for the listener. The process of healing is the action of being comforted and The Soul Needs Healing began that process eloquently and then we were surprised with the next process of healing.


In the era of music dropping abundantly and random in nature, Quis Chandla and The Hit System released The Soul Needs Healing 2. The first project when dropped focus on the mind and the nature of the listener in the world. The second project went into the courage to continue the process of healing in respect to the self and others. On part one of the healing process we were told to Respect the OGs and with part 2's release, we or now told to Make Em Proud. Do the songs actually go together? That depends on how you listen to the music and more importantly how it relates to you in your own personal journey of healing. The Soul Needs Healing Part 2 is a complimentary piece in the process of one's soul changing through the influence of Grown Man Rap, and maturity that evolves in subject matter on the microphone.


If Healing is a process then we are all due to check our fluids and mental health on the road of life. We stop many times in our travels and endure many roads and in our journey our hearts, minds, and spirits take a beating. In the end, the soul needs time to recover from such experiences. With racism, classism, sexism and many other forms of oppression that attacks us, the genre of Hip-Hop music is falsely accused of being totally negative and pushed to the side as a reason to through the entire culture away. Quis Chandla & The Hit System have created the perfect answer back to everyone that doubts the real purpose of Hip-Hop and that is to bring Peace, Unity and to have Fun back to the people that were long forgotten. Those people made something from nothing and began to heal the world through beats, and stories given to heal the pain of those whose verses were not being heard. If you are looking for good music, with heart, a message of solidarity and a positive outlook on the journey of life. I highly recommend both EPs The Soul Needs Healing 1 & 2 for your listening pleasure.
