Cruise DJ & JabberTox – “Midnight, Pt. 2”
A warm nostalgia radiates from the instrumental from Cruise DJ and JabberTox’s latest single, “Midnight. Pt. 2.” “And it’s deep.” My guess is it’s the upright bass line that raises your hairs, but whatever it is, it’ll have you slotting this track in next to People Under the Stairs, the Pharcyde, Nujabes, and all the other seminal voices in the chill, jazzy hip hop scene. Each emcee weaves into the fabric of the production with the “deep” motif. Whether it’s their experiences as rappers or their time on this earth, Cruise DJ and HabberFox express an openness to the unknown future and past. “Midnight, Pt. 2” appears on The Hard Way, a fresh new collaborative EP for 2026 from Cruise, JabberTox and other contributors.
