King Topaz teams up with Young Zee and DJ JS-1 for a new single

NYC-based graffiti legend King Topaz—widely recognized for his historic work at 5 Pointz and his impact across the city’s mural scene—returns to the music world with a brand new, self-titled 12-song album, bringing his Hip Hop journey full circle.

While many know Topaz for his visual art, his roots in Hip Hop run much deeper. Before taking a decade-long hiatus to dominate the graffiti world with Jerms aka DJ JS-1 and the FTR Crew, Topaz was releasing music as Lordroc, working with iconic Queens figures such as Marley Marl, Capone (CNN), Royal Flush, Godfather Pt. 3 (Mobb Deep), and more—earning multiple charting singles throughout the late 90s and 2000s.

This new album marks a powerful return, delivering hard-hitting boom bap, authentic DJ scratches, and raw lyricism. Featured guests include DJ JS-1 (Rock Steady Crew), Young Zee (The Outsidaz), Spit Gemz, Truth Emcee, OSVN, MC Whiteowl, Cereb, Last Measure, Certified Gage, and others. Production is handled by King Topaz, BREEZ One, Lemos, Da Vigilante, and DJ JS-1, with Jake Palumbo on the boards ensuring a clean, polished, radio-ready sound.

The lead single, “Like This” produced by Breez One is pure turntable bliss as DJ JS-1 goes ballistic on the wheels of steel for Topaz and Brick City O.G Young Zee to slice your dome with lyrical razors…
