I remember meeting hip-hop at an early age. I remember at the age of eight, getting in trouble because my mom found my rhyme book, and I had curse words spelled all wrong. At 13, I joined my first two hip-hop groups at the same time. Off The Block Boys/ K.L.U.B Ent. That’s when I experienced street life for the first time. It puts a certain level of substance behind a young writer’s pen. During this time, my writing developed meaning. I learned that writing music wasn’t about rhyming words; it was about expressing oneself and the day-to-day experiences one went through. At that time, it only lasted a short period, and then I hung up my rap jacket for 17 years, had kids, and tried to live what one would call a stand-up life, but for some reason, the music kept calling me back. After living a life full of ups and downs, I finally decided to step back into the music realm. A close friend sent me a beat and said he felt it would bring me back. I picked up the pen and never looked back. I started my empire, Just Vibe Music. I have released one joint album (Didn’t See It Coming) with that same childhood friend who first sent me that beat. His name is Cas. Also, I’ve been fortunate to open for artists such as Beatking, Young Dro, and Lil Wil (my Dougie). I also performed at multiple SXSW events for Coast-to-Coast Live. Since then, I have evolved JVM into more than just music; we now have the Just Vibe menu, which provides catering. We have the entertainment sector that provides multiple comedians and Just Vibe Media, which we’re breaking into podcasting. Over the past year and a half, I have also released five music videos and am working on my latest solo album, “The BadGuy Season 1.” All the readers out there, I want to let you all know that J.V.M is here, and we’re only growing.
