  • tongue tied (lyric video) - FJ Law (Video)

tongue tied (lyric video) – FJ Law (Video)

January 26th, 2021|Pop, The Latest, Video|

“Sometimes we need to talk, explain something important but we feel like tongue tied. That is the situation in FJ Law’s emotional song with plenty of rich sounds and rhythm up and downs!”

-Nagamag.com

FJ Law – the solo project of songwriter and producer Danny Hall – will release his new single ‘tongue tied’ on the 20th January via 225 Records/Believe, the follow up to last year’s ‘friends.’

Merging his singer/songwriter roots with swathes of electronic beats and pulsing synth lines, ‘tongue tied’ further showcases FJ Law’s talent for creating effortless alt-indie tunes.

Speaking about the single, FJ Law says: ”This song is about never finding the right words to say in important situations. Always stumbling over your sentences and never helping the situation. A problem I struggle with a lot. The theme of the song is based around this and a toxic first relationship that I went through when I was 18. There was a temper of my partner’s that was hard to control and often left us in pieces. I knew she wasn’t good for me but it was all I ever knew. There would be occasions when she threw my clothes out the window to the neighbour’s garden or threw my phone against the wall. I knew I couldn’t carry on but I could never bring myself to say the words to end it. I would always back track, get tongue tied and tangle myself further in the web.”

Having had support from BBC Introducing for his single ‘friends,’ FJ Law recently shared a stripped back live version of the track that you can watch here.

FJ Law has worked alongside the likes of Nina Nesbitt and Kwassa, and has already had support from the likes of Phil Taggart, who picked FJ Law’s unreleased track ‘State To State’ for his ‘Chillest Show,’ whilst another unreleased track – ‘Catching 22’ – found its way on the BBC Hotlist after FJ Law had uploaded it to BBC Introducing.

  • J'Moris - Off the Porch (Video)

J’Moris – Off the Porch (Video)

January 25th, 2021|Hip-Hop, The Latest, Video|

“”Of the Porch” meaning not depended on your parents anymore, being out on the streets grinding. Original Rap taste through the artist’s daytime reality. Worth to listen.”

-Nagamag.com

Off the porch.

Enigmatic Hillsboro, TX Hip Hop Artist J’Moris crafts punchy, authentic Southern Rap shaped by sly street smarts and a love for the hustle. His first new music since 2020’s full-length album “Blac February”, “Off the Porch” is a certified jolt of adrenaline and a taste of J’Moris’s realness.

When asked about the meaning of the term, J says “Off the Porch means I’m not dependent on my parents. I’m out of the house and in the streets grinding. Basically, you put in work and didn’t wait for handouts. Since you’re in the streets grinding and putting in work, you’ve “jumped off the porch.”

Ever the hard worker, OTP is the first of a string of new singles Moris recorded during the 2020 pandemic. Moris’s vocals were self-recorded at his home studio, while music/beats are provided by frequent collaborator Supamario Beatz.

“Off the Porch” comes out Friday, August 14th. Watch the brand new music video on J’Moris’s Youtube Channel.

Like a suave, street-wise prodigy of Master P and Gucci Mane, J’Moris’s style is all killer, dripping with heavyweight swagger and grit.

A self-dubbed ‘product of environment’, J’Moris has been drawn to music since he was a young boy. While battling the trials and tribulations of life, he’s always found music to be an unrivaled outlet of expression. During his college venture at Lamar University, Moris co-founded the organization Tru Misfitz. Continuing to maneuver more into the music industry, Moris found his southern influence played a heavy part in what he does, deeply embedded in his music and persona.

Born in Fort Worth, Texas during the 90’s exposed J’Moris to a lot growing up. The drugs, pimps & thugs flooded the streets.

“My family moved to Hillsboro texas to try and get away, but to no avail. The crack epidemic consumed Hillsboro also. Watching my loved ones fall victim to the drugs or the streets, I felt he only had one choice. Use them both to My advantage & find a way out. My older brother, Crunch, looked out for me alot. He never wanted me in the streets but he also knew the outcome was inevitable. He showed me how to finesse the game more, how to be apart of the game but also be hands off.. Unseen.. The lessons he taught me molded me into who I am today and also gave me the opportunities to graduate high school. Something he, or my little brother J Hodge, never did.”

“I tell God to watch out for me while I chase the route of evil…” (from ‘Extra’)

J’Moris’s no-holds-barred style is inspired by hip hop greats/moguls like Master P (“his grind was great”, says Moris), Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, T.I., Kevin Gates, Nipsey Hustle & Biggie Smalls.
