JPG – It’s a Wrap (Certified)
New single from East Coast rapper JPG gets audiences turnt up
YEMASSEE, SC – A new turn-up song just in time for the summer is making its way along the East Coast from South Carolina rapper JPG. The single is “It’s A Wrap,” and not only does it showcase this young artists unique flow and stand-out style, but it also features a bouncy beat that is ready-made to get people up on their feet and dancing. Telling the story of JPG’s rise from rags-to-riches, and his dreams of making it into super-stardom someday as an internationally known artist, this single is one that is already connecting with a wide fanbase.
“I try to stand out how I rap lyrically,” JPG said. “I know a lot of people don’t rap the way I rap. I’m rapping for people who grew up the way I grew up. I’m talking about where I cam from and how I grew up. I came from the trenches and made it out, and I’m trying to relate to people like that.”
Born in San Diego, but raised in Yemassee, South Carolina, this up-and-coming young musician has been rapping since middle school. It was something he just did on a whim one day for the fun of it, but when people heard him they immediately recognized his natural skill. The encouragement he received pushed him to stick with it, and for the past few years he’s continued to hone his craft. About six months ago he recorded his first song “Made It Out,” and the response has been exceptional.
As a father of two young children, JPG said his goal in this endeavor to pursue a full-time career in music is to take care of his family. Not only did he struggle growing up, but he and the family have struggled in recent years through hard times.
“I became who I became without my mother, who left me when I was young,” JPG said. “I express that in my music. What I create is about where I come from, where I want to go, and how far I’ve come. Sometimes I also rap about past relationships, because I’ve had a hard time with those, as well.”
JPG said his all-time favorite rapper is Lil Wayne because of his metaphors and amazing bars. He also loves more modern-day artists like Gucci Mane and No Cap. He said he hopes to one day create a body of work that put his name in the same conversation as those legends. He’ll continue to build that legacy with another single called “Lifetime,” which should drop later this summer.

(Audio) J Lyles – Here I am @iamjlyles
J Lyles makes his return to the world of HipHop, and in a big way, with his new single titled “Here I am”. It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything new from the talented artist but we can officially say those days are over with this new single as Lyles continues to prep a new album that is slated to release this year. Being lyrically relatable has never been a problem for the New Jersey native, and that continues to be true with “Here I am”. Life sometimes takes a toll on us as humans, we all go through ups and downs mentally and physically but those who stay true to themselves while staying afloat through the rough times are the ones that seem to come out the smoke when those bad days disappear. In his own words Lyles describes the song by saying “I discuss various points of my life and the effects of incarceration, family trauma and struggles to get through college and life after college. This song is a testament of wins and losses, pain, and perseverance that led to this version of myself. “Here I Am”.” J Lyles is that exact person that comes out of the smoke battle scarred and tired but wiser and battle tested. He’s always ready to give it his all when those tough times roll back around with rhymes like “Made it to 27 I must be here for a reason/applying pressure smothering all you turkeys that’s under seasoned/they telling me to keep going/my music the voice of reason.” Staying ten toes down with the current version of himself is what the artist is striving for now a days, staying away from those who may not prove to be worthy of being within his circle. “I’m a legend to the game/but I never wanted fame/cause everybody knows your name and unfamiliar with your pain” spits Lyles at the beginning of the second verse, further cementing his true to self rhymes being provided by the man behind the mic. With his debut album titled The Execution still being perfected behind closed doors, J Lyles opens up one door to give new and older listeners a sample of what is to come until the timing is right for The Execution.

(Album) D’Shaun – CRWN @RylDShaun
Backed by only one single, “S’mores & Rumchata”, D’Shaun comes crash landing at #4 onto the iTunes top 40 HipHop album chart and right back into your music libraries with CRWN. The highly anticipated project lived up to expectations on the first day of its release as it also entered yet another chart on iTunes. CRWN peaked at #88 on the top 100 albums in all genres chart, sitting comfortably and confidently above Elton John’s Diamonds. This incredible accomplishment doesn’t happen without D’Shaun and the RYLTY crew’s hard work and dedication to creating an album packed with 12 playable and enjoyable records that each bring a different sound and vibe when stimulating your brain.
D’Shaun continues to put Converse, Texas, on the map as he showcases not only his talent but the talents found within his circle. From Austria to Detroit to Houston, he credits the artists around him for helping provide the “spacey yet quintessential HipHop but with a new school sort of feel” sound that he believes his latest body of work entails. This album not only incorporates HipHop but it also throws some dashes of rap, pop and R&B, adding some more seasoning to the recipe we already knew D’Shaun brought to the table. He’s dabbled in those genres before but with CRWN he brings them altogether in a cohesive manner, letting each live and grow with one another as they flow beautifully the more and more you run the project back. For him, CRWN is set to “change the whole landscape, the city and the state, the lives of each of these young men in RYLTY”. Those changes begin with track number one titled “Nonstop” which is fitting for the vibes that you continuously find yourself emerged in. Between track one and twelve you’ll find up tempo hits meant for the radio in “Chalice”, “Notice”, “S’mores & Rumchata” and “Alright”. You’ll also hear the artist slowing things down a bit with “4U”, “LoveSICK”, “Virgo Season Interlude” and “My Way”. Pure raps are expressed within the previously mentioned “Nonstop” along with “Gentlemen’s Club”, “Sprite Zero” and “Waver”. If there was a sound that D’Shaun didn’t think was fun or didn’t fit the wave he was gearing towards then it simply didn’t make the cut, the artist says that CRWN “is more fun and shows what wearing the crown is like” when comparing the project to its predecessor KNG.
Four years separate both albums and in between those four years we’ve heard how highly D’Shaun has spoken about the trio of albums he had been planning on releasing with all being companions to one another. With two down and one to go the one man band artist has been growing and maturing within his sound and will only continue to do so. He showcases that behind each verse, chorus, ad-lib, snare, kick or high hat he decides to incorporate into this world where creativity never ends. We can call this world “RYL” and here we’ll find the king at his throne wearing a crown meant for only him, exuding royalty the only way he knows how.
