Player 1 by JHAWK, Billy Hoyle
Player 1 is a collaborative album from Pittsburgh artists JHAWK and Billy Hoyle - a modern-day player’s manual built from soul samples, street charm, and smooth talk.
Across sixteen tracks, the duo explores what it means to be a player in every sense - from love and loss to confidence and control - blending laid-back production with sharp storytelling and effortless cool.
While the sound stays rooted in classic hip-hop, the rollout leans into a retro gaming aesthetic - turning the idea of “Player 1” into a full-blown world. Together, it’s a project that celebrates presence, finesse, and the art of playing life with style.
Recorded at I.D. Labs and mastered by Big Jerm, Player 1 captures the energy of two artists in perfect sync, balancing grit, groove, and game in equal measure.
