Jus.Chase fires a sonic flare with "Stay Clear"

Jus. Chase cuts through the clutter with "Stay Clear," a rip-roaring, high-voltage offering from JUNXVII's "Dead Roses and Wine" project, which opts not to whisper when it could scream. What makes "Stay Clear" feel like such a clear standout is its duality: It's lo-fi yet lively, thoughtful but charged, moody yet motivating. It's not every day you come across a song that's able to gesture at internal disquiet and stir an active momentum as well, but with Jus. Chase lands it cleanly.

Jus. Chase approaches the mic with a presence that demands your attention, hammering out chunky, no-nonsense bars over eerie lo-fi textures and shadowy melodies. It's the kind of song that would plant itself in you with atmosphere and then keep you there with sass. The production hums like a distant storm, reverberating themes around isolation, self-defense, and transformation all wrapped in a delivery that manages to be intimate and explosive at once.

While many lo-fi or alternative hip-hop cuts get lost in the downtempo white space, "Stay Clear" elbows the genre into attention. It's inspiring but not preachy, woke without being sanctimonious. Jus. Chase's flow treads that fine line between message and mentor, letting you know, with the same gravity that he brings to everything on the album, that he's not just rapping here; he's letting you know what it took to survive. It's a song for anyone who has ever had to erect boundaries, sever connections, or protect their energy. 

This is headphone music with bite. Ideal for moody nights in or early morning reboots, the song slots easily into playlists like Lowkey Rap, Mood Therapy, or Alone Again, but don't be shocked if it slaps just as hard in the gym or on a 2 a.m. clarity session. There is a certain grit to the production, as if you're walking alone under city lights, and you've chosen yourself. If you've ever needed a song that feels like both a mirror and a shield, this is it. "Stay Clear" is not just something you hear, but it is something you feel in your chest.
