Today on On The Radar we had the pleasure of speaking with rising NJ artist OnlyJahmez. The artist who recently dropped off his “Escape From NY” inspired EP stopped by the show to talk about the project, why he’s always wearing a suit jacket, his upcoming “RIOT” ep + more!
When it comes to music Jahmez definitely is not limiting himself to any one specific style. With much of his music’s sound switching up from project to project he’s not afraid to take risks with his sound and explained to us that a lot of it has to do with him not wanting to bend to one certain genre.
“I see myself as a butterfly just flying through the air like I don’t see myself being in one genre nor do I see myself ever hitting a ceiling there's always something new something different that I can do so ima do it. I like to envoke different emotions and different reactions in people”
As for his upcoming project “RIOT”, Jahmez is really putting a lot of things aside and tapping into a more serious side within his music. While normally having fun and playing around with different aspects inside of his EPs this time around he wanted to really show fans a different side of himself and also get more into his emotions.
“A lot of the stuff I’ve dropped has been high energy and wow factor, it still has those elements, this time is one of the first times I’ve put a lot a side and tapped into really how I’ve felt like I would say RIOT “Revolution In our Thoughts” it's just how everything came together for me it’s a step of maturity but Im still going to be immature”
