Juice Elliott drops “Aunties” like a quiet nod across the room, the kind that pulls you in without trying too hard. It’s got that jazzy swing, echoing those Digable Planets afternoons where beats float easy and words land with a little grit. Streaming everywhere now, this single feels like Elliott cracking open a window to his world, letting in the breeze of family ties and the sharper edges of what’s real. Shoutout to the aunties everywhere, he says, the ones who hold it down, even when they nudge a bit too close to your peace.
You hear it in lines like “got love for my aunties and them, they try to mess with my zen,” where the humor sneaks up soft, a half smile at the chaos of care. It’s raw, the way he weaves love life reflections with those heavier pulls, landing on “in the end we gon’ win” like a promise whispered over late night talks. Then there’s the gut punch: “how you gon support genocide,” turning the track into something that lingers, asking us to sit with the mess of loyalty and what’s right. Elliott isn’t preaching; he’s just sharing the tangle, funny one minute, fierce the next.
In a scene full of polished drops, this one roots back to hip hop’s heart. If you’re spinning tracks that feel alive, “Aunties” is your next quiet revolution, a reminder that the people who shape us deserve the real talk, every time.
