In The Spotlight: KlearJ

“I just heard the music and had to play it twice before it hit the air. You have extreme talent and I know you are gonna be the next big thing….”--Byrant Corbitt, Radio Personality, Dothan, AL

Here is another spotlight for you all! (For upcoming artists, designers, producers, etc., who are interested in a feature on the blog, email me! I'm open to any genre or style.) Today, we have KlearJ, an upcoming hip hop/rap artist from down in Atlanta (where we know a lot of the biggest music is hailing from).

KlearJ has worked with multiple artists and DJs over the last few years, networking and grinding to the top!

The rapper got an early start in music being raised by a family of musicians. His grandfather was an early songwriter for Atlantic Records, and his father was a local Gospel/Soul-Singer and songwriter. In 1992, KlearJ decided that hip hop was for him, with artists like Kris Kross, Das EFX, and the Notorious B.I.G. serving as his influences. After leaving Atlanta in 1995 and settling into Eufaula, Alabama for ten years, KlearJ moved back to the ATL (where we know some of the biggest artists in the industry are hailing from!). Having honed his rap skills in Alabama, the rapper is now taking advantage of the huge music scene that Atlanta has to offer! "Many have described my sound as unique, new and gritty, but also parallel to some of the greatest southern hip-hop artist such as T.I., Bun-B and Big K.R.I.T," the rapper said.

Check out his new track "Bwai Stop" featuring Grand Champ & Tiny Teazzy below! The track will be featured on KlearJ's upcoming mixtape ABSTRACT which will be released in April!
