Emerging hip-hop artist auSTIN (pronounced Stin) is carving out a lane of his own in today’s rap scene with the release of his latest single, “In The Quiet Place.” Known for blending the raw essence of 90s hip-hop with poetic storytelling, auSTIN delivers a track that’s as introspective as it is powerful—ushering in a new era of lyricism, authenticity, and soul.
Raised in a single-parent household as the youngest of five, the New York native developed an “old soul” perspective early on. Influenced by his grandmother’s spiritual wisdom and legends like Earth, Wind & Fire, Michael Jackson, Nas, Big L, and The Notorious B.I.G., auSTIN’s sound fuses depth and diversity, pairing sharp bars with emotional truth.
His journey began in 7th grade with a love for poetry—an outlet that later evolved into rap. Though basketball was once his main focus, the 2020 pandemic became a turning point. After suffering an injury that forced him off the court, auSTIN redirected his energy toward music, dedicating himself fully to mastering his craft and understanding the business behind it.
In 2024, auSTIN debuted his first album, FADEAWAY’s tO 808’s, showcasing his lyrical precision and versatility. Following its success, he released a series of singles that demonstrated his growth and range. With “In The Quiet Place,” auSTIN elevates his artistry once again—bridging rap, spoken word, and soulful undertones to create a timeless sound.
“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.”
Inspired by the likes of J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Tupac, and Kanye West, auSTIN stands firm in his vision for the future: to become one of the defining voices of modern hip-hop—without ever compromising his independence.
“In The Quiet Place” is available now on all major streaming platforms:
