FreshDuzIt’s Juugrassik Series

Indianapolis-bornproducer/rapper FreshDuzIt has crafted a unique conceptual mixtape series and alter ego called “Juugrassik.” Blending prehistoric flair with modern trap, this series showcases FreshDuzIt’s creativity and evolution as an artist. (Notably, he’s a trailblazing producer from Indianapolis – the first Black rap/trap producer from the city to go multi-platinum, thanks to NLE Choppa’s hit “Camelot”​

The Juugrassik series leverages that hit-making pedigree into a playful “Juugrassik Park” universe of FreshDuzIt’s own, where dinosaur motifs, cartoon imagery, and real street-smart lyrics collide in a world unlike any other in hip-hop.

Part 1: Land Before Rhyme (2022)

FreshDuzIt launched the series with Land Before Rhyme in June 2022​

This first installment immediately establishes the sound and theme: heavy trap 808s thundering in a Flintstones-era landscape. In fact, FreshDuzIt and visual artist KeyZombie “embark on a new journey through the familiar territory of bedrock, full of dinosaur rawr’s, bird chirps, and heavy 808’s

Cover art for Land Before Rhyme – FreshDuzIt depicted as a Flintstones-era character. The cartoon visuals (designed by KeyZombie) reinforce the mixtape’s prehistoric theme and playful tone.

Flintstones-meets-trap vibe that’s equal parts hard-hitting and tongue-in-cheek. Lyrically, FreshDuzIt balances swagger with humor – one moment flexing about his grind, the next dropping a Stone Age reference. The themes and track titles drive this home: “YabbaDabba Wop” and “The Great Gazoo” nod directly to The Flintstones universe, while “Juugrassik Park” tips its hat to the Jurassic Park franchise​

Even the viral hip-hop culture gets a cameo; FreshDuzIt enlisted Lil B The Based God for “Cookin Dance Pt 2,” a sequel to Lil B’s famous cooking dance meme anthem​.

Adding a surreal, fun twist to the mixtape’s prehistoric concept. Throughout Land Before Rhyme, comic-book ad libs (dinosaur roars, etc.) interweave with trap drums, creating a soundscape that’s playful but booming. Fans appreciated this creative approach, noting how the project doesn’t take itself too seriously yet still delivers real trap energy.

Lil B "The BasedGod" – on “Cookin Dance Pt 2” Legendary guest with a cult fanbase. Major meme energy + internet history here.

10k.Caash – on “YabbaDabba Wop” Brings his Dallas bop energy to the Flintstones-themed banger.

Valee & Playa J – on “Lights, Kamera, Aktion! / Wild Thangs” Valee adds his smooth Chicago flow. Playa J brings the local flair.

Pyrex Whippa – on “Juugrassik Park” 808 Mafia affiliate and fire co-producer. One of the heaviest beats on the tape.

RoadRun C Moe, 2Dope & Mi$ta – on “RRW OFFTW Freestyle / The Great Gazoo” A Naptown posse cut with texas spitters. Pure raw energy.

Part 2: Tha Juugrassik Way (2024)

Two years later, FreshDuzIt returned with Tha Juugrassik Way Tape – the second installment of the series – and took his concept to the next level. Where Land Before Rhyme was the “dawn” of this dino-trap world, Tha Juugrassik Way feels like its evolution into a full-blown Jurassic era. The project dropped in October 2024 with 8 tracks and it showcases a refined sound and broader scope. FreshDuzIt doubles down on the booming 808-driven production and “juug” (hustle) themes, but this time the prehistoric references intermingle with more direct money and street motifs. In other words, Part 2 shifts focus to “the Juugrassik way” of the grind – the hustle-centric lifestyle that connects past and present. For example, the track “Foe tha Love of $” explicitly invokes the classic ’90s Bone Thugs phrase “for the love of money,” and it lives up to its title: an aggressive posse cut about chasing paper​

In fact, Tha Juugrassik Way steps up the collaborations and star power significantly. FreshDuzIt brings in heavyweight guests like Moneybagg Yo – who appears on “Foe tha Love of $”​ and Southern hip-hop veteran Lil’ Flip on the trunk-rattling closer “Drop It Off”​

These features give Part 2 a even more boost of mainstream credibility and energy. Additionally, the tape includes regional voices like 40kal and OFFTHEWOP Tunes (FreshDuzIt’s own camp) on that money anthem, and a fiery verse from female rapper Courtney Tha Coldest on the bass-knocking strip-club flavored “Yo Money In My Pocket (Work It)”​

By weaving in these guests, FreshDuzIt amplifies the mixtape’s intensity while still maintaining his own concept.

Sonically, Tha Juugrassik Way remains true to the series’ trap foundation – expect rattling hi-hats, deep bass, and catchy hooks – but FreshDuzIt’s lyrical style shows growth. His flow is sharper and the wordplay often links the project’s theme to real-world flexes. The tape opens with a quick intro and the track “Juugrassik 5,” a cheeky nod to the legendary hip-hop group Jurassic 5, reimagined in FreshDuzIt’s trap style. From there, he bounces between bragging about stacking “50 Hunnits Deep” (hundreds on hundreds) and delivering quirky lines that keep the prehistoric motif alive in spirit. The tone is a bit more serious and hustle-focused than Land Before Rhyme – it’s as if the series grew up from cartoon daydreams into a grind mode, without losing its imaginative spark. FreshDuzIt himself has described his creative realm as “Juugrassik Park,” a self-styled universe where he can flip cultural references at will while staying true to trap culture​. Tha Juugrassik Way truly embodies that: bridging eras and styles under one concept. Publicly, the project earned FreshDuzIt a new level of respect in the underground; listeners noted how Part 2 elevated the Juugrassik concept with bigger features and a sleeker sound, all while retaining the playful branding that makes this series stand out.

Tracklist (Tha Juugrassik Way) – 8 tracks:

“Juugrassik 5 (Intro)” – A brief intro with Jurassic-themed ambiance to set the tone.

“Juugrassik 5” – The titular track kicking off the tape with FreshDuzIt’s signature trap sound (a wink to hip-hop’s Jurassic 5 crew in name).

“G.G.$.T.M.S.K.A.T.E M.O.B” – An acronym-titled banger (the letters likely stand for a hustler mantra) packed into a 1:35 burst of

“We-R-Us” – A track that plays on the phrase “We are us” (or a riff on Toys“R”Us) with a catchy hook and collaborative vibe​

“Foe tha Love of $” (feat. OFFTHEWOP Tunes, Lul Boobie & Moneybagg Yo) – A hard-hitting posse cut about money motivation, featuring Memphis star Moneybagg Yo alongside FreshDuzIt’s

“YO MONEY IN MY POCKET (WORK IT)” (feat. Courtney Tha Coldest) – A fast-paced strip-club anthem where Courtney’s verse and a Missy Elliott “Work It”-inspired refrain bring extra flavor​

“50 HUNNITS DEEP” – A solo track highlighting FreshDuzIt’s trap lyricism, boasting about depth of his bankroll and crew, over an eerie beat.

“Drop It Off” (feat. Lil’ Flip) – The finale banger with Houston legend Lil’ Flip adding a Southern trill. The track is all about making deliveries (of cash or work) and capping off the tape with confident, nostalgic flair.

This evening I went to my local park to shoot some hoops, a hobby that I've recently picked up. There's something pure about shooting a basketball. Making a shot is not guaranteed, it's all on you and you can't hide from the outcome - the ball either goes in or it doesn't. I love the delayed gratification as the ball hangs in the air after you throw it up. There's randomness and variation in how the ball bounces, requiring your body to adapt on the fly. I love how you're mainly playing with gravity and that you need to be focused and relaxed to shoot well. If you think about it too hard, shooting hoops is almost a 🌈 metaphor for life 🙌.

As I played, I listened to Hoop Life, the basketball-centric 2014 mixtape by Lil B. The tape is mainly known for "Fuck KD", a diss track to NBA MVP Kevin Durant, a concept so ridiculous1 it threatens to cast a gimmicky shadow over the whole mixtape. But it doesn’t. Instead, listening to it, I found myself inspired.

In Hoop Life, everything revolves around basketball and the act of playing. It's an hour where basketball is the only judge and "see me on the court and let's play" is the answer to all questions. Lil B's raps are simple and crass but vaguely mystical: the tape starts with him repeating "Let's play hoop, bitch!" - by the eighth time it's sounding like a mantra for life.

His enthusiasm about the game of basketball is so infectous that it suggests a love of life itself, in all of its complexities. It helps that many lines can be read as about both basketball and life in general. When he says "Quit ball-hogging bitch, pass the ball trick", is he railing against ball hoggers or the selfish people in our lives? Is "I work on the shot, cause I can't dunk" about improving his jumper, or learning to embrace your strengths?

As I get older, I've started to gravitate towards play as the respite from the grind. Perhaps it's some "getting in touch with your inner child" shit but to me, playing is one of the joys of life. Months long a-sync board games with friends, running around a touch rugby field, trying to throw a ball through a hoop - there's a simplicity to these activites. You win or you lose, you touch the player or you don't, the ball goes in or it doesn't.

When playing, there's no shame in trying and no shame in failure. These zones feel almost utopian compared to "real life" with all of its complexities and trade offs. The meaning you can get from a game of basketball is something Lil B seems get on Hoop Life. I've written a lot of words above, but he encapsulates it in just one line: "I hoop everyday case it's fun".
