Rising New York emcee auSTIN (pronounced Stin) is making his presence felt with the release of his new single, “In The Quiet Place.” A lyrical craftsman with roots in both soul and hip-hop, auSTIN delivers a track that’s as introspective as it is powerful, reminding listeners of the raw artistry that defined the golden era of rap.
A Journey Rooted in Resilience & Spirit
The youngest of five children, auSTIN grew up in a single-parent household where his grandmother’s spiritual guidance became a cornerstone of his character. Surrounded by music ranging from Earth, Wind & Fire and Michael Jackson to Nas, Big L, and The Notorious B.I.G., he developed an “old soul” sensibility and a love for storytelling that would shape his artistry.
His first creative spark came in 7th grade through poetry, which quickly evolved into rhyme writing. Though basketball became a central pursuit through his teenage years, an unexpected injury and the global pandemic shifted his path back to music. What started as an outlet turned into a full commitment: studying the craft, refining his sound, and learning the business behind the art.
From Debut to Defining Sound
auSTIN’s first album, FADEAWAY’s tO 808’s (2024), introduced him to the world as a promising new voice. Since then, a string of singles has showcased his growth, but “In The Quiet Place” represents a turning point. Seamlessly blending rap, spoken word, and soulful undertones, the track solidifies his reputation as a thinker and storyteller within New York’s emerging hip-hop movement.
“I’m not chasing trophies or accolades,” auSTIN explains. “What matters to me is making music that speaks from the soul—music that connects, inspires, and reminds people of what hip-hop was built on: wordplay, storytelling, and freedom of expression.”
The Vision Forward
Influenced by artists like J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Tupac, and Kanye West, auSTIN is driven by consistency and authenticity rather than commercial formulas. His mission is clear: to bring back the essence of lyricism and preserve the cultural depth of hip-hop while paving his own lane with full independence.
“In The Quiet Place” is available now on all major streaming platforms:
