New Orleans will always have a place in hip-hop history for the Hot Boyz era, but Double Jeapardi is breathing new life into the city’s scene. The duo, consisting of R$ch Reccless and Blue Mariee, are no stranger to the industry, each building impressive solo careers and studying the legends of the game. Capturing the unfiltered lyrical content of a Tupac Shakur and the smoothness of a Michael Jackson or Aaliyah, the group combines some of the best aspects of modern-day rap instrumentals with their own unique experiences as a hustler and an exotic dancer, respectively. Together, they view this year as the perfect time to strike. With a new project, movie, and branding opportunities lined up, they aim to throw New Orleans back into the conversation of hiphop’s epicenters while putting the real back into hip-hop.
