Ruste Juxx Brings Family Energy To Sob’s Nyc

Brooklyn underground staple Ruste Juxx delivered a memorable night at SOB’s NYC on May 28, inviting fans to “Pull Up!!!!” alongside his sister, Bernadette (known online as @bernadettealwayshumble). In an Instagram post teasing the event, Juxx wrote, “Rockin Wit My Sis @bernadettealwayshumble At @sobsnyc May 28th Pull Up!!!!” The packed Lower Manhattan venue buzzed all night as the siblings traded verses onstage.

A Legacy Forged In Brooklyn Hip-hop

Ruste Juxx first emerged in the mid-’90s as part of the Juice Crew offshoot, carving out a reputation with gritty lyricism and relentless work ethic. Over more than two decades, he’s released collaborative LPs like Indestructible (2008) and the Hardbodie Hip-Hop series, earning praise from peers such as Sean Price and M-Phazes. Known for his raw flow and commanding presence, Juxx has toured internationally and maintained a devoted fan base.

Spotlight On Bernadette, Aka Big Berna

While Ruste Juxx commands attention with barbed verses, his sister Bernadette—often called Big Berna or BernaP—has quietly built her own following. In an earlier Instagram post, Juxx shared behind-the-scenes snapshots from a collaborative video shoot: “I Just Shot Another Video For My Sis @bernadettealwayshumble Aka #BigBerna aka #BernaP.” Her soulful delivery and dynamic stage persona provided the perfect complement to Juxx’s hard-hitting rhymes at SOB’s.

Sob’s Showcases Rising Family Duo

SOB’s (Sounds of Brazil) has hosted breakout talents since 1982, but Thursday’s bill felt especially personal. The duo opened with a fresh single from Bernadette, followed by Juxx staples like “Mean 16,” a nod to his freestyling roots (“#WednesdayWarlordEdition” reads one of his Instagram captions). Fans flooded the dance-floor as the siblings swapped verses on tracks produced specifically for live shows.

Pulling Up: Fan Reactions And Highlights

Attendees praised the event across social channels. One fan tweeted, “Ruste Juxx brought that old-school NY heat, and Bernadette stole the show—real sibling synergy!” Social media lit up as clips circulated, capturing the moment Bernadette leaped into the crowd and Juxx dropped a surprise freestyle over a live DJ set. In between songs, he reminded patrons to catch his upcoming LoLifeBBQ residency, extending his brand beyond the booth.

Looking Ahead: What’s Next For The Juxx Siblings

With this joint appearance, both artists hinted at more collaborations. Juxx’s next single is slated for summer release, and Bernadette has teased a series of video releases shot on location in Brooklyn (“hardbodiehiphop@gmail.com,” read a past post inviting features). Industry insiders suggest the pair might embark on a short tour, bringing their family-centered show to select East Coast spots.

The May 28 performance at SOB’s marked more than just a concert—it was a statement of brother-sister solidarity in New York hip-hop. As the venue lights dimmed, fans left buzzing about what the dynamic duo will deliver next, proving that family ties can amplify an artist’s creative reach rather than hold them back.
