Dub Aura worked with some of NY's greatest on his latest arrival.

New York has produced no shortage of hip-hop legends over the years, from the A$AP Mob and the Diplomats to Big L and Black Rob, but that's not stopped Dub Aura – who just dropped off a new 12-track record – from coming in with his head held high, eager to make a name for himself among greatness.

The project is called This One Is On Me, and includes appearances from the likes of Dapper Dan, Jim Jones, Dave East, Lady London, and Remo The Hitmaker, among others.

"I spent all of my life in Harlem," the rising star revealed to HipHopDX during a sitdown ahead of his album's arrival. "It taught me about flamboyance, hustling and confidence. It pushed me to focus on my intentions, which is to be who I am authentically at all times."

For Dub, music is more than just a career – it's a form of therapy. "When I was younger hanging out and doing cyphers with A$AP Rocky, A$AP FergTeyana Taylor and others, I was writing raps that I thought the people would like. Now it’s become a form of therapy," he shared.

"I speak what’s real to me. I speak with intention, I speak knowing where I’m going and where I see myself. I understand you can’t rap forever, so when someone looks back at your discography, what are you really saying?"
