The duo G's Us, consisting of R.A.P. Ferreira (formerly known as milo) and AJ Suede, released their debut album, What Them Dogs Don't Know They Know, on Ferreira's Ruby Yacht label on December 22nd, 2023. The album's combination of Ferreira's signature poetry and Suede's swagger coolness maximizes its musical appeal.
The Almighty Ruby Yacht Enlightens Listeners With Poet Swag
According to Ruby Yacht, in What Them Dogs Don't Know They Know R.A.P. Ferreira and AJ Suede complement each other as a rap duo as they "confront a damaged society, trade bars, discombobulate status, and ultimately present a celebration of lyrical dexterity that invites you to revel in the sheer joy of language." This description is a testament to the band's fierce individuality and fearless creativity in a broken world.
In the hit single "Skin Glowing," Ferreira raps, "Human Livewire does the tight rope act to our amusement / becomes reclusive / I remember she said my poems were quite revealing." He then passes the rock to Randal Bravery, an under-the-underground name whose skill shows that he deserves much more attention than people give him. Bravery raps, "Claim imitation as flattery / Civilisation is a battery / The echo of the carnival barker." His opening sounds as though he’s reading his rhyme book floating above the steep cliffs of Dover and evoking spirits. Steel Tip Dove perfects production craft throughout What The Dogs Don't Know They Know.
The music video for "Skin Glowing" is super cool, too, with Ferreira, Suede, and featured artists Bravery and Brightboy flexing iconoclast rapper fits in Chinatown, Manhattan, New York. The video then transitions to "Universe," a powerful existential track driven by Ferreira's hook and the chorus "The universe wants to play / it's your job to engage."
R.A.P. Ferreira and AJ Suede are Underground Jazz-Rap Masters
In the hip-cat anthem "Just Chomp," Ferreira raps about being on "the party phone, ordering picric and sodium barbitone" and says that he's "smoked out, but feel[s] so focused with it"; he then ties his verse together with the wizard hook, "Onward is the protocol." The earworms Ferreira creates make you feel enlightened and want to put the track on repeat. What Them Dogs Don't Know They Know is filled with these types of seductive moments that require deep listening to fully parse.
Ferreira shines his awareness, his light in the darkness, on every track, going to infinity and beyond. Meanwhile, as an upcoming star in underground hip-hop, Suede peaks on What Them Dogs Don't Know They Know. The album's features add lyrical depth; its production is jazzy, crisp, equally classic, and respectful of hip-hop traditions. With this album, G’s Us have secured themselves as innovators, trailblazers, and true artists in a culture of complacency.
Conclusion
On What Them Dogs Don't Know They Know, G’s Us establish themselves as true artists. Both members of the duo have also proven their skills in their individual projects. Ferreira's Purple Moonlight Pages and Who Told You To Think??!!?!?!?!are some of the best jazz rap albums of all time. His discography showcases his philosophy skills just as much as his poetry. This year, Suede came out with Permafrost Discoveries, which highlighted his unique bars and deep understanding of fundamental ideas. G's Us is an exciting duo with a bright future ahead of them.
