Explain who you are for those who don’t know
For those that don’t know I go by the name of Johnny Do It. I’m just a young artist on my grind trying to come up in the game.

How did you com up with your name?
Well originally my name was Lil J3. It was a basketball name at the time I just rolled with it as a rap name too, but I figured it’s too many “Lil” rappers in the game so I wanted something different. I got Johnny because that’s my name of course & then came up with “Do It” just randomly. At the time I think I was looking at a Nike shirt or something & they is slogan “Just Do It” so I just switched it to Johnny. It had a ring to it so I stuck with it ever since.

Where are you from?
I’m from Sacramento, California.

What was it like growing up there?
Growing up in Sac is pretty cool. You got your good & bad about it as you do in most cities. It can be a quiet & peaceful place & it can be a rowdy place where dudes get active. It just all depends on who you are & how you move. It’s one of the cities that get overlooked because of the Bay Area & the LA influence on the game. But it’s a city full of people with potential just waiting for they shot to make it out.

How did you get into music?
I been around music my whole life. No matter what the genre is. I like everything from Rock, Rap, R&B, Gospel, Oldies, i mean the list go on & on. Different people I’ve come across in life introduced me to different forms of music. I believe diversity is key. Don’t want to stick to just one type of music.

What makes you different than other artists?
What makes me different from other artists is that I’m true to myself. Alot of the artists is rapping about things they don’t do or have never done before in they life. I’m not out here trying to portray an image of something I’m not. Anything you hear from me on a record is all facts.

What are you working on?
Right now I’m just continuing recording new material spending time trying to perfect my craft, getting these visuals shot & things like that.

Anything else you would like to say?
I got alot of music out there & multiple projects that you haven’t heard so give yourself a chance to get familiar with me. Follow me on IG & Twitter, Check out my soundcloud, & subscribe to my channel on Youtube. I rocks with everybody that rocks with me. It’s always love

Jayotic just released his new visual TBE produced by Cxdy. You will be seeing a lot more of Jayotic in the future. Remember his name. Stay woke.

Explain who you are for those who don’t know
– I’m a Photographer and Musician, who loves to play in various creative mediums. But for the most part I just do stuff randomly and by accident, sometimes, it sounds hella weird and some people seem to like it.

How did you come up with your name?
– When I was 19 or 20 I wrote some short novels about a couple who slowly started to disconnect emotionally from each other. And that phrase stuck with me, because the girl in the story says that to him. That she’s feeling dizzy, unsure about love and everything. Plus, I love the word “Darling”, like people should really use it more to their beloved ones haha. My music sounds most of the time really unsure about love or even melodramatic I would say, so I thought it was a perfect match. And I like the idea of a “Project” that sounds more like a sentence than a real name.

Where are you from?
– I was raised in Switzerland, but for the most time I daydream about my second home, Brazil.

Whats it like growing up where your from?
– For the most part it is great to live in a secure environment like Switzerland is. But it comes with a lot of stress and pressure, especially when you try to be true to yourself and try to make a living with creative stuff. But thats everywhere in the world I guess.

How did you get into music?
– My parents played all kind of music in the household back in the days, so it automatically resonated with me. With the years I found more and more music that I didn’t really pay attention to as a child and this influenced me heavy. I just love to play around with different genres and influences. Just to put a really, lets say, mainstream melody with a strange industrial type thing together is really fun. Or sample Madonna and mix it with reversed Baile funk rhythms. This is pure bliss for me.

What makes you different than other artists?
– I think we all use the same color palettes, but the technique and the way I paint with melodies and cadence is far more experimental than my peers I think. I don’t think the people here in Switzerland are used to this kind of music but its fun to challenge others and myself and to explore raw emotions.

What are you currently working on?
– I just started some concepts for my next album. Just throwing random ideas and see which ones stay in my mind for a long time. And in the meantime I’m really stoked about some collaborations with other artists, which is new for me, because my music is so bedroom based. But I’m really looking forward to these projects, I’m receiving a lot of love and many suggestions for collabos. Oh, and more musicvideos of course.

Anything you would like to say?
-I’m just thankful for every opportunity. I love the fact that this art thing, after all these years it slowly begins to morph into something special. It’s not paying the rent and shit, but I get payed with a lot of love and recognition, and that’s all I’m hoping for.

Explain who you are for those who don’t know.
I’m Shée Blue. The Shée  is prounced Shay. I’m just an MC that you can’t put in a box. I don’t like to do labels.

How did you come up with your name?
When I first started doing music, my rap name was Shée Gutta, because I always keep it ‘Gutta’. But as years went down the line I decided to change & shorten it to, Shée Blue, which is my nickname and government.

Where are you from?
Rochester, NY.

Whats it like growing up where your from?
It’s very hard. Everybody’s trying to make it but others don’t want people to make it. But, I still love my city. It made me, me.

How did you get into music?
I always loved music. I listened to all genres growing up. I got into the flute when I was younger and one time I was with my cousin who was into rap and we started freestyling and from that moment on I knew it was on. From then on, I loved it ever since.

What makes you different than other artists?
I’m my own individual. I like to express myself and things I’ve experienced differently. Not just because it’s hot right now, not taking anything away from them, but I just want to always have a message or point in my music while being me.

What are you currently working on?
As of right now, getting ready to drop my mixtape The Check In and my debut album, Delayed Arrival.

Anything you would like to say?
I just want to thank anybody who supports me and I will continue to drop dope material. And  yeah, big shoutout to my team HCM! We got next & now!

Explain who you are for those who don’t know

I see myself as a revolutionary using the art form of rap to communicate my mission to the masses. I see myself as a true artist who makes songs that are real, not just what people want to hear.

How did you come up with your name?

My government name is Kenneth McElroy Jr. My father was a football superstar in my area and they called him Kenny Mack. I call myself KennyMackForever as a shout out to my father and to God, because I’m gonna live Forever.

Where are you from?

I’ve been living in Tampa for about 5 years now, and it has my heart but I was born in a town called Titusville, Florida.

Whats it like growing up where your from?

People from the city say my hometown is mad country. Maybe it is, I guess that makes me a country boy. There wasn’t much to do outside of playing sports, getting in trouble and making music where I’m from. But I thank God I was born there.

How did you get into music?

My father started rapping when hip-hop began. As far back as I can remember, he was freestyling in the house. As soon as I could talk I was freestyling songs into a little boombox he had. Music never really left me since that point.

What makes you different than other artists?

As an artist, I’m seeking after the listeners heart, I’m aiming at their mind. I’m not an artist who is in this for fame, girls or money. Hip-hop has a great influence on the people, I use that platform to truly make people think. To question why we do what we do. My music doesn’t glorify the very things that are killing our community, but rather analyzes why these things are happening and what we can do to better them. I want to lead my listeners to a higher understanding, to lead them to God.

What are you currently working on?

I’m always grinding at all times. I’ve dropped a lot of songs and videos recently and am working on a true come up, hoping and praying that hip-hops revival can aid me in that.

Anything you would like to say? 

Rappers need to use their platforms responsibly. Why do we rap about our women like they’re nothing but thots and hoes, why do we brag about murder in our music when our brothers are lying dead in the streets? I’m far from perfect, but to me that doesn’t make sense.
