Ju-Blick & Hittz shift the city w/ release “By Any Means”

“By Any Means” signals determination. It isn’t merely about ‘getting by’, but about claiming space, forging forward, and confronting whatever stands in the way. From the first bars, one hears grit and gravitas. This is not your everyday rap fluff, it’s the kind of record crafted for the blocks, the road, the pressure and the hope. Ju-Blick’s lens is the South Side’s lived reality, Hittz, with his street scarred perspective, complements that vantage. Their voices together combine two complementary angles of Chicago’s hustle culture, one of uplift and legacy (Ju-Blick), the other of survival and resilience (Hittz)..

The track touches on legacy, what you leave behind, how you show up, how the environment shapes you, and how you respond to it. The sonic aesthetic aligns with the artists’ identities, rugged, clear drums, melodic but minor key instrumentation, a mix of space and intensity. The beat leaves room for the vocalists to breathe, to deliver both bars and hooks without losing weight. The flow is confident, neither overly boastful nor passive. It carries the message. In the current climate of Chicago hip-hop, where “drill” and street narrative dominate headlines but often get shallow treatment, “By Any Means” stands out as a record that insists on something deeper..

“By Any Means” is a strong single that hits its mark. For Ju-Blick & Hittz, it underscores their potential and positions them for larger statements. It cements the artists as voices worth watching and offers plenty of creative currency for branding, commentary, and community engagement..
