MaeJuneJuly – Take 2 (CRUISIN’): Official Debut Single | Brooklyn Hip-Hop

From Behind the Scenes to Center Stage: Brooklyn Tastemaker MaeJuneJuly Drops Official Debut Single “Take 2 (CRUISIN’)”

BROOKLYN, NY – If you know Brooklyn, you know the balance: it is equal parts grit and glamour. No one moves between those two worlds quite like MaeJuneJuly, who is stepping out from behind the curtain to release her official debut single, “Take 2 (CRUISIN’).”

Before the blogs caught on, MaeJuneJuly was already a staple of the culture—styling celebrities and shaping visual aesthetics from behind the scenes. The transition to the mic happened organically with the viral arrival of “1Take,” a raw freestyle recorded at a birthday party that immediately circulated through the city, leaving listeners asking, “Nah… who is this?”

Now, the question has been answered. “Take 2 (CRUISIN’)” is the official introduction to an artist who has already mastered the industry’s aesthetic. The track delivers a unique sonic blend: effortless East Coast swagger gliding over a heavy Southern beat. It is “luxury-gritty”—a sound that feels as comfortable in a high-fashion showroom as it does on the block.

“This track is about confidence, gratitude, and God’s elevation,” says MaeJuneJuly. “It’s definitely leveling-up music.”

Hip-hop has always loved a true crossover, and MaeJuneJuly is one of the cleanest transitions the genre has seen in years. With a flow rooted in authenticity and a look rooted in high fashion, “Take 2 (CRUISIN’)” isn’t just a song; it’s a statement that MaeJuneJuly is here to stay.

“Take 2 (CRUISIN’)” is available now on all streaming platforms.
