LA artist JBTHEMC carves his lane with lofi jazz-tinged hip-hop, channeling the raw, sample-heavy sounds of The Alchemist and DJ Premier while documenting his battles with addiction, homelessness, and survival on LA’s streets (2012-2025). His reflective, street-poet style on “In The Mix” bridges boom-bap nostalgia with modern introspection, culminating in his biggest look yet, a feature from Westside Boogie, a fellow truth-teller who amplifies JBTHEMC’s mission: keeping hip-hop’s soul alive through struggle and redemption.
