Kansas City, MO, August 04, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– In his 5th Album in just under 3 years, and his 1st as a standalone, unlike the trickled out release of the 4 Concept Album Series entitled The Blue-Collar Diaries, Justin John Scheck tackles conceptually the state of American society and culture under Trump. It is in part a historical look at fascism and oligarchy.
It is all a glimpse of the historical evolution of oppression in The U.S., and is an Avant-Garde Electronica and Classical Contemporary romp thru history and today. Fascist Addict is a continuation of the love letter JJS is “writing” to the working class; and it is a spiritual look at today’s America.
JJS is a multi-instrumentalist and Producer who uses Logic Pro. He has been a musician and producer for 25 years.
Justin John Scheck was born and grew up in Cleveland, OH, and came of age in a small farming town in Illinois outside of Chicago.
He is a self taught multi-instrumentalist and Producer, using a MPC, keyboard, guitar and omputer exclusively. He uses Logic Pro to record his music, and tends to improvise everything, often using his first take. What JJS claims he swings for is “As if Tom Waits and Kurt Cobain went back to the 19th Century and taught Pirates about music and music production.”
He has bounced around the Midwest all his life, never having lived anywhere else. He is a former member of Crooks And Children and The Cordeliers out of Chicago, Il. He has created and self released 5 albums come August 1 in less than 3 years time.
Los Angeles, CA, November 10, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– LA-based R&B/Soul and Hip Hop artist Jules the Lion returns with “Love After Love,” a soulful hip-hop ballad that captures the spark of finding love again after heartbreak. Produced, mixed, and mastered by award-winning musician Tom Goss, the track blends nostalgic soul textures with timeless lyricism — the kind of sound that makes you remember how love is supposed to feel.
“When I met the girl who healed my heart, I had to write her this song,” says Jules. “Love After Love is for anyone who’s ever thought they’d never find that feeling again — until they did.”
As the title track of Jules the Lion’s forthcoming EP, Love After Love charts the artist’s journey from heartbreak to wholeness. Across clever bars and velvety vocals, Jules blends sensuality, spirituality, and soul with the honesty of modern hip hop.
Known as “the pansexual sonic lovechild of Marvin Gaye and Ms. Lauryn Hill,” Jules the Lion brings a fresh, inclusive voice to the R&B landscape, celebrating love in all its forms and frequencies.
“Love After Love” is available now on all major streaming platforms.
