Rapsody, the GRAMMY®-winning rapper from North Carolina joins JURIN on the track. She is known for her intricate lyricism and honest storytelling. Together, over a beat rooted in old-school hip-hop, they spark a cosmic chemistry. Their voices intertwine like a nebula, creating a collaboration that crosses borders and generations. It feels grounded yet still celestial.
I was truly blown away by JURIN’s sharp lyricism and performance. The fact that English isn’t her first language and yet she can express herself like that—nothing but respect. I really felt like, “She’s the real deal.” Sharing the mic with her was an absolute joy.” – Rapsody
Rapsody told fans to get ready for pure rap, sharp wordplay, and powerful bars. She promised no fluff—just full-on, Jedi-level energy for everyone to enjoy.
“PS118” Music Video
The “PS118” music video captures the song’s themes of exploration and transformation. Set in a stark urban landscape, it follows JURIN ASAYA as she steps onto the world stage as a solo artist with Rapsody by her side.
At night in the city, she moves with steady conviction, trusting her path even with eyes on her. Her verses cut through the stillness, while Rapsody’s lines blend in smoothly. Together, they create brief moments where their worlds meet.
The tension rises as their paths finally meet, and meanwhile, each shows a distinct aesthetic. In the final scene, a UFO’s light hits JURIN, and as a result, it marks her step into a new artistic phase. The video leans into a raw, stripped-back style, and at the same time, it contrasts her usual glamour. Because of this, the style brings out a grounded, natural presence that defines this chapter.
