Jouls Juliano has been steadily making his mark in the Boston hip-hop scene, and with his latest singles, “Adios” and “Cha Cha,” the producer and audio engineer is pushing both his sound and his city’s culture to new heights. These two tracks aren’t just releases—they represent the evolution of a multifaceted artist who’s conquered adversity and is ready to lead Boston’s underground hip-hop resurgence.
“Adios” kicks off with an unmistakable grit, channeling the raw energy of 90s hip-hop. With contributions from veterans Slaine and Ruste Juxx, the track has a sharp, bass-driven production that is both nostalgic and fresh. The chemistry between Jouls and his collaborators is palpable, with Slaine delivering an intro and verse that feels ripped from the streets, while Ruste Juxx’s hard-hitting flow completes the gritty aesthetic. As a producer, Jouls thrives on bringing out the best in his artists, a talent that’s evident in every bar.
Meanwhile, “Cha Cha” shows off a different side of Jouls. This high-energy track features Termanology, Seefour, and Josue La Promesa, and feels like an anthem for the party. The Latin influence is palpable, nodding to Jouls’ desire to pay homage to his roots while simultaneously pushing boundaries. The way he organically brought these artists together—through Instagram, podcasts, and mutual respect—speaks to the growing sense of collaboration in Boston’s hip-hop community. It’s a celebratory track that radiates a sense of accomplishment, and the way it weaves different cultural threads together is a testament to Jouls’ versatility.
In his recent interview, Jouls opened up about his journey, reflecting on the challenges of balancing his music career with personal struggles. From overcoming addiction to navigating family responsibilities, his resilience shines through in every release. His sound is both a personal expression and a communal effort, deeply rooted in the South Boston community.
Looking ahead, Jouls is eager to explore new genres, with indie rock being a potential future venture. But even as he experiments, it’s clear that hip-hop remains at the heart of his identity. “Adios” and “Cha Cha” aren’t just songs—they’re milestones, showing that Jouls Juliano is an artist to watch in 2025 and beyond.
