J-Reds - Hip Hop-ish

The genre chameleon has never been a stranger to starting over. The constant change of scenery lead to numerous phases and detours; but no calling could match the persistence of music. What began as moments of catharsis from a chaotic life, his initial dive into artistry began with the ol' Frankenstein drum kit his father had pieced together. This fascination grew, but his house was not capable of handling the noise of a drum kit. Fate carved a path and a switch was made to guitar. First emerged his undying love for pop punk. This love started a domino effect of consumption. He would obsess over particular musical messages and vibes, almost as if to register and categorize in a meticulous fashion, before evolving to the next sound, to repeat the process. This largely created a musical necessity to combine complex and thought out ideas infusing estranged sounds and trains of thought. He began to create musical landscapes with the idea of seamlessly morphing brutality & melodic harmony. As his blazing infatuation with pop-punk and metal began to normalize, a fixation on hip hop was conceived. He immediately found affinity with labels like Rhymesayers, Strange Famous, & Fake Four and became inspired by emcees like Slug, Sage Francis, Sadistik, Ceschi & Immortal Technique to name a few. He was also fascinated with battle leagues like King Of The Dot & Grindtime. With a growing infatuation for rap battles, it was with a heavy heart J-Reds devoted his time to composition and performance. This lead to an extensive 6 year schedule of constant touring, event promoting, album creation, and above all else, an industry education. ​ With the conclusion of his amateur years and mindset, J-Reds has relentlessly compiled and prepared a massive media release to keep followers engaged in a ground breaking experience that will snare any listeners within earshot.
