J. Stalin Renews His Mob Music Vows with ‘Prenuptial Agreement 2 (Deluxe)’
Building a lasting legacy in the Bay Area with a steadfast dedication to his craft, J. Stalin embodies the hustle that underlies the mob music he helped make the dominant sound in his region. Today, the West Oakland native expands on the sequel to his scene-shifting classic, sharing Prenuptial Agreement 2 (Deluxe). Featuring appearances from San Francisco’s Lil Yee, L.A.’s Big Sad 1900, Oakland’s Mistah F.A.B., who appeared on the original Prenuptial Agreement in 2010, and more, Prenuptial Agreement 2 (Deluxe) is available everywhere via Livewire Records/EMPIRE.
Adding seven new tracks to the January project, Prenup 2 (Deluxe) stays true to form, rooted in the mob music grit of The Town. The Deluxe tracklist starts with “3 Minutes (Remix),” featuring a new verse from Mistah F.A.B., in which Stalin reflects on his mindset at the beginning of his career. Tracks like the Lil Yee-featuring “From My Heart” bleed with an impassioned dedication to the grind, while the Celly Ru-assisted “Slapped” delivers a late-night low-rider vibe to set the tone for extracurricular anthems like the aptly-titled “Presentation of Sexification” and the quasi-chivalrous “Until U Come Too,” featuring ibedakrse.
Along with the Deluxe, Stalin shares the video for “From My Heart” ft. Lil Yee. In the video for the emotional song, the Oakland and SF natives hole up in the trenches, counting cash and stressing the importance of loyalty.
The sequel to the 2010 breakout project that made him a regional star, Prenuptial Agreement 2 is a showcase for Stalin’s raspy vocals, brutally honest lyrics, and peerless ability to navigate mob instrumentals. Like the Pitchfork-acclaimed original, which brought guest spots from the likes of E-40 and The Jacka, Prenuptial Agreement brings an eclectic cast of characters, from fellow Oaklanders like Philthy Rich, 22nd Jim, and Jane Handcock standing up for the 357, and street heroes from other cities, like Florida’s Jackboy and Stockton’s EBK Young Joc, who sound right at home.
J. Stalin is celebrating the success of Prenuptial Agreement 2 and the release of the Deluxe with the Livewire Reunion Tour, hitting cities across the West Coast. The tour reunites the original Livewire Records crew, including Bay Area royalty Philthy Rich and Lil Blood. The Livewire Reunion Tour hits Club Insomnia in Oakland on May 19th and May 20th.
Loyal to the grind and his family, J. Stalin is building a legacy for himself and the Oakland scene he hails from. With Prenuptial Agreement 2 (Deluxe), the proudly independent artist cements his rightful place in Bay Area history.

As he puts the finishing touches on Wiley Park, 4DHouse Entertainment head honcho Danuel House Jr. aka 4 follows up the release of NSFW posse cut “S.M.O. (Slut Me Out)” featuring verses from “Chain On” lyricist Bando and G5 with Thizaezbeat produced single “Talk Nasty.” Continuing his campaign of raunchy records, “Talk Nasty” does an excellent job of educating women on exactly what’s needed to help men reach their sexual peak.
Danuel House Jr. grew up right across the street from Wiley Park. Being raised in the 4th Ward, House saw a lot of things as a kid that teach you how to survive; combined with a large family including relatives who educated him on the do’s and don’ts of the streets. He later moved to the Southwest side of Houston, where he attended Welch Middle and then Sharpstown High School. Ahead of graduation he spent some time in Missouri City and attended Hightower High School. Though he would frequently return to his hometown to visit his grandmother while attending the University of Houston and Texas A&M, he officially settled back in the Lone Star State to play professional basketball. After 8 years in the NBA, he decided to devote his time to making music. Recently partnering with Steve Stoute’s United Masters, the hooper turned Hip Hop artist and his 4DHouse crew are poised to win big whether in the streets or the stadium. The resourceful raplethe has already secured features with Paul Wall, Bun B, Z-Ro, Kenny Muney, and OTC Toro.
