CookBook and Joey the Jerk reunite as O.P. to deliver "Done Did It Again," the first official single and music video from their upcoming self-titled album.
Known for their work with the legendary L.A. Symphony, the duo brings razor-sharp lyricism, chemistry, and years of experience back to the mic.
In an era where trends come and go and originality is often overlooked, Q-Unique and DJ Rhettmatic return with The QR Code—a project rooted in the principles that built hip-hop from the ground up.
The title, The QR Code, represents more than a clever play on words. It pays tribute to the code that artists once lived by: be original, stay authentic, respect the culture, and never follow the crowd. Before social media dictated trends, there was an unwritten code that separated innovators from imitators. This album is a celebration of that mindset.
Uniting different coasts through undeniable chemistry, Q-Unique and DJ Rhettmatic prove that real hip-hop transcends geography. Their collaboration delivers razor-sharp lyricism, soulful production, and timeless beats that honor the culture while pushing it into new territory.
Adding even more depth to the project is an incredible lineup of featured artists, including LMNO of the legendary group Visionaries, Mecc Rashawn from QN5 Music, Esoteric (of Czarface), Sonny Sandoval of the multi-platinum rock band P.O.D., and elite lyricists Pharoahe Monch and Ras Kass. Each guest brings a distinct voice and perspective, reinforcing the album’s commitment to individuality and authentic artistry.
The QR Code isn’t chasing trends—it’s setting a standard. It’s a reminder that hip-hop was built on originality, integrity, and the courage to stand apart. This is music for listeners who appreciate substance over hype and craftsmanship over imitation.
No gimmicks. No copies. Just two artists, one code, and a powerful collection of songs that embody the past, present, and future of real hip-hop.

“No-one does 140 better than the UK, the way it gets done here is different and I really wanted to explore that…”
King Kashmere is an experimental musician from North West London.
Best known as a voice of distinction among the UK rap fraternity and
frontman of decorated duo Strange U, much less is known about his work
as a producer.
After years of fine tuning his craft, King Kashmere reveals ’Zero Point
Modulations’, his first full length release as executive producer / from
behind the boards. Speaking on ‘Zero Point Modulations’, King Kashmere explains…
“Before I got into music, my first passion was computing. I was fascinated with coding and how games were made.
I was equally fascinated by the idea of being in a music studio, in a
leather swivel chair, surrounded by hardware. My first thought is always
‘how are they using these machines to make those glorious sounds?’
I’ve been meddling with beat making since the late nineties, but it
wasn’t until 2010 (when I bought an old laptop from Farma G) that I was
able to delve deeper. When I began formulating the first ideas for
Strange U I knew production was my true calling.
Working with Zygote took things to another level and definitely inspired
me to learn more. We would bounce ideas back and forth and before long I
was producing full songs in my own time - the God Status stuff, Old
Children, Chuck Enzo, I went on a journey of discovery and got totally
lost in it.
‘Zero Point Modulation’ has been five years in the making. It is largely
a 130 / 140 BPM record. The main aim was to experiment with different
genres other than hip hop; grime, dub, dubstep, but develop ways to make
the production process authentic to me and my journey, which will
always lie in sampling.
Once I had bottled the energy it became clear that I needed to recruit
emcees to mirror the energy. No-one does 140 better than the UK, the way
it gets done here is different and I really wanted to explore that…
The album brings together legends of that style but also emcees who
might not be known for faster flows. It is an experiment in bringing
people together, coupling energies that are both expected and
unexpected, but also, exploring the many different sides of sound that I
am into in order to showcase different sides of my music making…”
