We got Pure Rap Alumni back on the stream — one of the best producers out, a legend in the making — Jamar Johnson. And for the first time on the Network, we’re connecting with a really dope emcee who goes by the name Aaqil Ali.These two have linked before on a few tracks from Jamar’s projects, but now they’re back together with their first full collab project, The Beautiful Darkness — and trust us, it’s something special.We kicked things off by getting to know Aaqil Ali — where he’s from, how long he’s been making music, and what shaped his artistry — before diving into how the two first connected and what sparked the vision behind The Beautiful Darkness.They break down the process of making the album, who came up with the concept, how long it took to get it right, and why they chose to keep it strictly direct-to-consumer.And of course, we ran the Rapid Fire — everything from yearly reflections to Thanksgiving sides to what they could live without. Always a vibe.Tap in for a dope conversation with two creators pushing the culture forward through sound, depth, and originality.If you rocked with the intro track, tap in with them directly and buy the project straight from the source or wait til early 2026 their collab album, The Beautiful Darkness will be out on DSP's!🎧 Follow Jamar Johnson & Aaqil Ali — support the project directly!https://www.instagram.com/jamarjohnson_0/https://www.instagram.com/aaqil_ali_el/Jamar Johnson | Apple Music Link: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/jamar-johnson/1540310314Jamar Johnson | Spotify Link: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3xH1madNS9aIosDbS7MBGC?si=uDzZm8RdSdW-azf3DXKRgAAaqil Ali | Apple Music Link: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/aaqil-ali/1441237446Aaqil Ali | Spotify Link: https://open.spotify.com/artist/48Ny6lLVTvhawriWeWMKkt?si=IakD_6_uTpW7XgJsYA0VhA From San Diego to the World, this is The Culture, Elevated. 🌎Intro Instrumental - Prod.

We got two brothers, two dope emcees — The Boogie Boys, B-Rell & Dom Royal — tapping in with the Pure Rap Network!

These two have been on ten all 2025 — from dropping heat like B-Rell’s “Mission BLVD” 2-pack and Loyalty Over Everything (with Bari Bandz), to Dom Royal’s “Diamond Out the Rough” and a new project dropping this year, throwing their own event Backyard Boogie, they’ve been putting on heavy for San Diego.

In this interview, we chop it up about their upbringing as brothers, their journey in music, putting together community events, creating their On Ten Podcast, and even talk highlights like B-Rell’s MVP performance at the San Diego All-Star Celebrity Basketball Game.

Of course, we hit them with our Rapid Fire segment — everything from “If you were a ghost who would you haunt?” to “Should Russell Westbrook be on an NBA team right now?” (Recorded before signing with the Kings!) 👀🔥

Tap in, get inspired, and feel the energy from two artists, two brothers who show love to their people, strive for success and progress every day.
