When asked about his musical influences he said, “I have a wide variety of musical influences, and I like to creatively incorporate them into my music. I never want to be boxed in as a traditional rap artist when there is so much I want to explore.” 

Jackboy Marley started taking music seriously when he was in his early 20’s. “I started doing music when I was 20 and took it seriously at 22 as a member of a group named ‘New Era Jackboys’. I went solo at 26 and have been going since…further exploring, honing and developing my craft.” He has a daughter, and he wants her to know that “in this world of infinite probabilities, nothing is impossible.” 

Jackboy Marley believes that music is an outlet in order for one to express themselves. His song “What” off of his first ‘Jackal’ EP got recognition from rap icon, Busta Rhymes. His second EP ‘Jackal Pt. 2: The Ouroboro Effect’ will be released on April 29th, 2022. It will feature his newest singles, “Let Us Prey” and “How I’m Movin”.

OriJinal Shotta Is Putting On For Omaha, Nebraska

New artist OriJinal Shotta is ready to showcase his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska in the name of hip-hop. Being born and raised in Omaha, Shotta knows firsthand the struggle of trying to branch out of his city. He affectionately refers to his city as “Atantis”, because of how often his hometown goes unnoticed, leading others to believe that the talent there doesn’t actually exist. Before his music journey began, Shotta was already a natural born hustler, having bred French Bulldogs as a career. Though he still commits to this career, he was also approached for an opportunity to make money and build a career using his artistic talents. Realizing this was a perfect opportunity not only to generate another stream of income, but to give his hometown a chance to showcase its undiscovered and overlooked talents and abilities, Shotta jumped at the offer and began to dive deeper into creating music.

Shotta has dubbed himself as the Trap Coach, using the power of music to inspire and teach his audience to go hard for their dreams and goals. It is important to him that his audience understands what it means to make it out of the mud and into the spaces they know they deserve to be in. OriJinal Shotta has recently released a 3-track EP by the title “I Got Plays.” The EP serves as a set of instructions which Shotta uses as his “hustle blueprint.” His message is clear: if generating money is the goal, there is always a way to get to it. Shotta explains to his audience that utilizing their talents and skills can be a useful tool into making money, but one needs to develop discipline, commitment, and consistency as a proper mindset into getting the work done. His plan is to use his music to teach not only those in his hometown, but to anyone who chooses to listen to his music, the art of hustling and how to go about making a name for themselves, essentially coaching them through the process. Shotta’s hope is that he can inspire his audience to change their lifestyles to become better and stronger people.

 With promoting his new EP, Shotta dons the responsibility of being the voice of his hometown. He wants to represent the overlooked talent his hometown possesses, so that more of his peers will be able to make their way out and into new spaces, ultimately putting Omaha, Nebraska on the map. Shotta expresses that even though he wants to show off his hometown, he still plans on keeping a low profile the way he is accustomed to, which is also something he enjoys and appreciates. He wants to take the hustlers route in focusing on the goal of generating income to live a better life. No matter what career path he decides to venture into, he will always remain a hustler at heart, doing everything he can to advance to the next level. OriJinal Shotta’s EP, “I Got Plays”, was released on December 31st, 2021. The EP has 8 accompanying videos so far, all of which are available to experience on Youtube. The EP is available for streaming on all platforms now.

Meet Bronx-Native HipHop Artist HULKSICKO!

When life starts to get difficult, sometimes the light reveals a path toward a better outcome. HULKSICKO! was well on his way to playing Division 1 basketball but a major hip injury and a tough surgery forced him to reconsider. He slowly transitioned from an athlete to an artist. At first, the Bronx native used music as a means of coping.  “When I was young and angry, I would listen to music to help get me out of certain moods. It didn’t always work and sometimes the lyrics in the songs made it worse but that’s how I knew music was impactful.” His official career in music didn’t become clear until he received a DM (Direct Message) on Instagram from someone in Germany saying they cried to his song on the night of their mother’s funeral. He realized that if he could provide an emotional experience from a random overseas fan, there’s no telling where his music could take him. 

HULKSICKO! recorded his first song in the summer of 2017. He recalls watching videos on how to use auto-tune for an hour and by the end of the night he had created a very rudimentary track. He chuckles stating, “It was trash.”  The independent artist stayed the course and persisted to create for 3 more years before finally feeling like he found his sound.“Most of my music is melodic and uptempo, which I think is dictated by the beats I choose. In terms of lyrics they can go right or left depending on how I’m feeling, and where I’m at. I like to tell people about parts of my life even if they can’t relate to it, because the real fans are going to relate. Those are the types of fans I want around my music.”

One thing that sets HULKSICKO! apart is his keen interest in international collaboration, particularly in China. He’s nearly fluent in Chinese, having already spent a month there, traveling to at least 10 cities to study the culture/language and enhance his musical reach. He mentions, “ I feel like the fact that I speak Chinese influences some of the harmonies that I think of while making music.” Once the Pandemic restrictions become less burdensome, HULKSICKO! hopes to return to China to continue expanding his brand. 

HULKSICKO!’s music conjures deep and enduring emotions in his listeners’ minds. When asked what inspires his musical sound, HULKSICKO! references his mother, brothers and his hometown along with all the experiences he’s been through there. His mother immigrated to America from Liberia. Like the plight of any first generation child, HULKSICKO! was determined to take care of her mother and reciprocate her love and give them a brighter future. His brothers have also encouraged him to continue reaching new heights in his career.

Currently, HULKSICKO! lives in Los Angeles, where he claims to be a better fit for him than New York. “There’s a lot of temptation and distraction in New York.” The move was critical in allowing HULKSICKO! to advance his career. He’s been working on a lot of video content and adjusting to my life on a different coast. “Before I put out any major project I want to have that one record that everybody knows. Although, I do have a lot of unreleased music that I could push out a project with. I just want my first established project to be one of those albums with no skips. I’ve been through a lot in the past couple years so I have a lot to talk about. I don’t want anything to go over nobody’s head.”

You can check out HULKSICKO!’s music on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube and all the major platforms!

In a recent interview with him, Lil Rottie explains how it was just a year ago when he decided he was going to drop it all to pursue his music career. “I was tired of working for another person  and clocking in to a 9-5 to make minimum wage. One day while I was drenching in sweat from walking all day for work, I came to my senses that I couldn’t do it anymore. It was at the moment where I had to realize my worth and prepare for what my next journey would be. November 2020 was the last month I worked. After that, I went and chased my dreams. I’m still not where I want to be but I’m on the way. It took a lot of blood sweat and tears to get where I am today.”
