Many musicians find inspiration from their past experiences and struggles, and Tennessee hip-hop artist Isaiah Wilson is a prime example. Also known by stage name Justzai, this young singer, songwriter, and independent artist has been making a splash in the hip-hop world hitting over 100,000 Spotify streams.
Growing up in the inner city of Chattanooga Tennessee has shaped the perspective that Justzai portrays. He revealed in an interview that though he would describe his music as “New, fun, [and] fast”, he also writes about hard subjects such as his depression. This lyrical and sometimes heavy style is reminiscent of the artists that Isaiah admires and draws inspiration from such as J. Cole and Joyner Lucas.
Justzai wants his audience to take a message of independence and certainty away from his music. He revealed that “I want them to see that even if you can’t find your comfort zone you can make a new one”. And this action is practiced by this young artist himself. His next project is a 10-track album titled Here We Go Again that takes a new style to each sub-genre of hip-hop (thus inspiring the album name). This album is produced with the partnership of Justzai’s engineer Abdias Joga out of Breaker 17 Studios.
