Jus-P & Luey The 4th – Take Everything: Lo-Life Meets Wu-Tang [Album Stream]

Wu-Tang forever, baby!

Queens underground spitter Jus-P teams up with Lo Life/Brooklyn Zu affiliate Luey The 4th for “Take Everything: Lo-Life Meets Wu-Tang”, a tight 12-track boom bap project that does exactly what the title promises—link the Lo Life legacy with Wu-Tang’s extended Killa Bee universe. The album lands via Chambermusik / Thrice Great Records, fully produced by GS Advance, and runs a lean 34 minutes with zero fat.

Conceptually, it’s a crew record. The guest list is stacked with Wu-Tang Killa Bees and Lo Life stalwarts: Timbo King, Solomon Childs, Buddha Monk, Beretta 9, Kinetic 9, plus Thirstin Howl The 3rd, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Kenyattah Black with D.V. Alias Khrist, all dropped into GS Advance’s grimy, cinematic sound. Early single “Malcolm X In A Rugby” sets the tone—soulful but menacing, with Timbo King, Solomon Childs and Thirstin trading verses over a heavy, head-nodding loop—while “Bruja Stew” dives into darker territory, a ritualistic slow burn about women with bad intentions that channels classic Chambermusik folklore grit.

The core duo holds their own throughout. Openers “The Origin” and “Scorch” sketch out the Lo Life x Wu connection with straight bar work, before the title track “Take Everything” plants the mission statement: hungry, militant, dead-serious street rap. Mid-album joints like “Lo Connect Zu” (feat. Kenyattah Black), “Straight Business” (feat. D.V. Alias Khrist) and “Black Watch Polo Team” (feat. Shabaam Sahdeeq) lean into the Polo lore and Lo Life mythology without ever turning into costume rap.

One of the biggest moments is “Airborne Division” with Buddha Monk & Timbo King—a militant, razor-sharp banger that feels like a cipher straight out of the late-’90s underground, all barked hooks and battlefield imagery. By the time you reach cuts like “92 Ski Edition” and “Malcolm X In A Rugby”, the record has fully settled into its lane: dusty drums, brooding samples, and MCs who sound like they have decades of history behind every bar.

Front to back, “Take Everything: Lo-Life Meets Wu-Tang” plays like a modern underground posse tape—no trend chasing, just raw East Coast rap built on crew chemistry and a very specific lineage. If you’re into Chambermusik’s Wu-affiliated catalog, Lo Life lore, or just want a new boom bap LP that really means it, this one’s an easy add to the rotation.
