Emerging hip-hop artist auSTIN (pronounced Stin), a New York native with a powerful lyrical presence, has released his latest single, “In The Quiet Place.” Known for blending the raw energy of 90s hip-hop with poetic storytelling, auSTIN delivers a track that reflects his evolution as an artist and his mission to bring lyricism back to the forefront of rap.
Raised in a single-parent household as the youngest of five, auSTIN developed an “old soul” mentality early in life. Guided by his grandmother’s spiritual influence and inspired by the music of legends ranging from Earth, Wind & Fire and Michael Jackson to Nas, Big L, and The Notorious B.I.G., his sound embodies both depth and diversity.
auSTIN’s creative journey began in 7th grade when he discovered poetry, a passion that soon turned into writing rhymes. While basketball temporarily took center stage, the 2020 pandemic shifted his focus back to music. After breaking his toe and stepping away from the game, he devoted himself fully to hip-hop. Since then, he has honed his craft, studied the business side of music, and steadily built his catalog.
In 2024, he debuted his first album, FADEAWAY’s tO 808’s, followed by a string of singles that showcased his growth and commitment to artistry. Now, with “In The Quiet Place”, auSTIN pushes his sound even further. The track balances rap, spoken word, and soul-infused lyricism, cementing his place among New York’s rising voices.
“I don’t care for accolades—that doesn’t excite me,” says auSTIN. “I want to speak from my soul and make music that resonates, connects, and inspires people from all walks of life. I want to bring back that 90s vibe to hip-hop—lyricism, wordplay, and raw freedom of expression.”
With influences like J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Tupac, and Kanye West shaping his artistry, auSTIN is determined to carve out his lane. His vision for the next decade is clear: to become a leading voice in hip-hop while maintaining full artistic independence.
“In The Quiet Place” is now available on all major streaming platforms:
