Jus Rhyme

MTV and VH1-featured emcee and DJ, Jus Rhyme, moved to Long Beach from Los Angeles in September of 2012, looking for a change of pace.

“I was tired of the Hollywood scene,” says Jus. “I was looking for a place where artists and activists regularly gathered to network, share ideas, and have a good time. Long Beach felt right.”

Since rising to national and international prominence on VH1’s “The (White) Rapper” show in 2007, Jus has been busy as an artist/activist traveling the United States creating People’s Parties as one-off events. He hopes to popularize the Party as a monthly gathering in Long Beach.

“The concept of The People’s Party is simple,” Jus recalls. “No cover, cheap drinks, all-request DJ, and free tabling for artists and activists. I see my role as host – the party is really about the people of Long Beach and what they want to see and experience in the space.”

Jus began The People’s Party as a house party among friends, but his unique combination of receiving music requests live over text message and his regular collaborations with local artists and activists demanded a bigger venue.

Long Beach dive-bar staple, Ashley’s Bar & Grill (established in 1938), took notice and invited Jus for a residency the last Saturday of the month.”Ashley’s was the perfect fit,” Jus said. “It is already recognized as a community venue; good food, cheap drinks, relaxed atmosphere. I’m just bringing the party.”

After our interview with Jus Rhyme we’ll be up to all of our usual fun including “Brewskis†Beer Tasting sponsored by DrinksWinesSpirits.com, sports talk, rants and more.
