Atlanta-based J Lock is a new-age rapper, rolling with remarkable individualism and contemporary style. His work is characterized by its mellow, lo-fi flow that carries us to worlds of cooling funk and soul. Sparkled with synths and strung with smooth beats and vibrant basslines, the soundscape comes alive with freshness. With his single, Selfish, J Lock crafts a love song with R&B artist, and soul singer, RL!
The track has passion, story, and soul. It unravels like a dream. With the rolling intensity of the verses juxtaposed with the romance of RL’s hazy vocals, the track depicts a dual emotional intensity. As an autobiographical artist, J Lock’s appeal blossoms out of his authentic sense of self. It’s evident in all his releases, as he reveals his truth one track at a time. And in this truth and perspective, we find clarity for our feelings and thoughts. Add to this the meta talent of master-vocalist, RL – the poetic sentiment just presents itself.
J Lock debuted in 2021 with Graduation Freestyle and has since released revolutionary pieces of autobiography. In his track, City Life, he introduces his style and claims his space. With his high energy street anthem, Deck, he raps about the grind and hustle to passion and fame. Emulating the vision and style of Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and J Cole, his music is a veritable extension of himself.
The track is available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
