Some collaborations just click — and “Ain’t Been The Same” from GohRilla and JUJUTHEQUI is one of them. The new single is a moody, emotionally honest track that doesn’t shy away from pain, growth, and the quiet chaos that follows heartbreak.
JUJUTHEQUI, born Julian Brown, brings serious depth to the mic. Raised in Oahu and shaped by his background in marching band and even pro wrestling dreams, JUJU isn’t just rhyming — he’s building stories. His delivery mixes hunger with heart, making every line feel lived-in. Teaming up with GohRilla — whose style leans into soulful honesty — the duo drop a record that hits harder than your average breakup track.
“Ain’t Been The Same” opens on a brooding beat, setting the tone before GohRilla steps in with a reflective, emotionally charged verse. His lines hit with clarity and a sense of resolve:
“Things ain’t been the same since you left / Been calling my name but I don’t hear nobody else.”
There’s a weight to what he’s saying — not just sadness, but a turning point. He’s moved from confusion to focus: “I hear these arenas like I am the man / Building my family, so love’s at the fence.” It’s that rare mix of vulnerability and vision.
Then JUJU enters, picking up the emotional thread and flipping it with a colder, more introspective tone. His cadence is sharp, his words blunt:
“Feelings are the same as they used to / Every time you talk I want to mute you.”
It’s a verse packed with frustration, but also acceptance. He digs into betrayal without sounding bitter, and lines like “You had everything but now it’s all gone / From my mind, body, heart, soul” show just how deep he’s willing to go.
What stands out most is the chemistry between the two artists. GohRilla brings warmth and reflection. JUJU counters with edge and precision. Together, they create a push-and-pull that feels both personal and relatable. The song doesn’t chase trends — it builds its own space. One that’s raw, reflective, and honest.
If you’re into hip-hop that pairs emotional depth with tight lyricism, “Ain’t Been The Same” deserves a spot in your rotation. It’s not just about heartbreak — it’s about what happens after: the silence, the shift, the slow rebuilding.
The duo is also building momentum with two more joint tracks, “Water” and “Honey Sugar.” But this one? This is the cut that leaves a mark.
