J.Larry

J.Larry is an eloquent wordsmith from Panama City, Florida. As a rapper in today’s climate, J.Larry’s artistry is consistent with the true essence of hip-hop. With the rapping prowess that J.Larry possesses, one would think he’s somebody that’s been rapping his whole life; but surprisingly, this is not the case whatsoever. Without a clear direction of where he wanted to take his life, he enlisted in the Air Force upon graduating high school and ended up being stationed in South Dakota of all places. As an aficionado of hip-hop and with nothing better to do, he started writing raps and poetry in his phone and the rest is history. J.Larry’s love for hip-hop predates his actual participation in the art, and this is likely what gave him such an advantage when first starting out. His named influences consist of J. Cole, Phontè, Nas, and Black Thought; and this exclusive list of legends is a testament to J.Larry’s hip-hop acumen. Parallel to the aforementioned rappers, J.Larry emphasizes creating a genuine connection with any listener that his music reaches. Of course, he desires all the mainstream accolades that come with being a successful performing artist; but more important to J.Larry is gaining the respect and reverence of any and everybody who gives an ear to hip-hop. He doesn’t want to be remembered for how much money he made or how much jewelry he flossed, but for the way he changed lives with his pen. To this day J.Larry has released two albums – “These Thingz Take Time” and “On A Good Day” – and his latest offering, an EP titled “Refinement.” While the hip-hop soundwaves have become oversaturated with redundancy, J.Larry vows to stay devoted to the notion of providing quality over quantity, and remains committed to putting out music that will outlive his natural-born life.
