The message on Chicago rapper Ash Wednesday's latest project is simple -- white people need to do better. As a white woman operating in a black art form, Ash recognizes that 'there are rules to rap and hip hop culture' and 'there are things you're not supposed to do as a white person.'
The title of her new EP, NoJulz, is an attempt to check social media influencer and talent manager YesJulz who has made several headlines for her problematic behavior and lack of social awareness.
The three song project features some of Ash Wednesday's best work to date, with her unique sense of humor and witty word play. NoJulz was entirely produced by Na$im Williams and features Sisi Dior, ShowYouSuck, and Luck.
Written by Ash Wednesday, Sisi Dior, Luck, and ShowYouSuck, produced by Na$im Williams, recorded and mixed by Thomas Fagan, mastered by Matt "Audio Dope" Sumague for Classick Studios
