Get To Know About MC David J

MC David J is a hip hop rapper, songwriter, producer and instrumentalist from Atlanta Georgia. He spent his formative years travelling all over the United States of America. Due to these travels, he has been introduced to many different people, all of whom would have unique stories to tell of him.

It was through these interactions that he found his profound love for music, namely Jazz, which would be the foundation in making MC David J into the artist he is today. At the tender age of 7, his passion was then intensified when he started to learn to play instruments such as the piano, guitar, trumpet and the drum machine making him a multi-talented musician.

His first exposure to Hip Hop was when he watched his father break dancing to artists such as Melle Mel, Sugar Hill Gang and Run DMC. This would be the spark for David at only 10 years old to start writing his first rhymes. When he discovered artists such as Dr Dre, The Roots, The Notorious B.I.G, Eazy-E and Slick Rick this would only add more fuel to the fire burning inside of him.

From the age of 16, David would begin making his very own home studio after receiving his first drum machine from his grandfather, then adding recording software, electric keyboards and a microphone to the collection. In 2015 David founded his own record label CoCalm Entertainment, who’s roster expands to more than purely Hip Hop.

Now at the age of 25, MC David J continues to make original and essential music and will carry on turning his experiences into true Hip Hop.

The St. Louis artist’s track, embraces the familiar brag-track approach, but gives it an interesting musical direction through its melodic rap delivery. The title itself is indicative of the mindset going into the release, showing the artist’s ability to spit dope flows and bars as just something natural, not some Herculean effort.

The flowing piano movement and the bouncing rhythm is what makes this freestyle worth revisiting. These elements make the record sound familiar but still keep the arrangement catchy and accessible. GMG_Grizz’s direction is more toward confidence and individuality, someone who is comfortable with his work ethic and the lifestyle he portrays.

“Something Slight” is a tantalising taste of where GMG_Grizz is heading musically. There’s room for him to explore this sound further, but the piano and rhythmic bounce provide a foundation for keeping the track interesting.

François Marius

François Marius arrives with a jolt of Latin Pop energy with “La Loco,” a dance-friendly track about attraction, romantic excitement and the fun madness of falling for someone. “LA Loco” is an immediate invitation to dance, with its catchy guitars, groovy bassline and spirited vocals giving it a friendly musical personality. Its approach is refreshingly simple, with the aim of having a good time rather than complicate the experience unnecessarily.

The song becomes even more interesting when Bérénice is on board, because the chemistry between the two performers is palpable. Their vocal call and response is a playful give and take, reflecting the thrill of two people being attracted to each other. It makes the romantic theme feel conversational, turning the performance into a musical chase instead of a one-sided declaration.

The acoustic elements also merge with the modern Latin beats, defining the danceable orientation of the track. “La Loco” is ultimately about enjoying the thrill that comes with attraction and letting yourself get carried away by the moment. Its constant call to swing along adds another layer of infectious energy. François Marius and Bérénice are a feel good collaboration that combines romance, rhythm and movement into an appealing Latin Pop package.
