We asked the E&J Family to show us their hustle, and they didn’t disappoint. After reading through dozens of entries, we’ve got your first batch of artists to watch. Check out their stories, download their tracks and comment below if you’ve got a passion that should get featured.
“After suddenly losing the investors for my hiphop album, I found myself unemployed with a stagnant music career…. I had to rebuild.”
4-IZE doesn’t know defeat. Inspired by the improv scene in Atlanta, he rebranded with a fusion of comedy and rap and started a #VerseADay campaign to hone his freestyle craft. It didn’t go unnoticed—Snoop Dogg reposted his verse getting him an instant move into the spotlight.
He’s kept the momentum going, dropping an album with his hiphop collective, ULTRA BEAST, titled ‘UNITED’. His most recent solo project however, “LOOK INTO MY IZE” has solidified his spot as a rapper on the rise. Featuring the talents of Ludacris, Talib Kweli and Swizz Beats, ’LOOK INTO MY IZE’ was called “One of the best albums of 2020” by AllHipHop. Check out more of 4-IZE work at UltraBeastUnited.com.
“I never use my craft to capitalize or gain recognition, but to help clients heal.”
@BookProductions channels his talents for the community. From bringing cultural icons to life, to commemorating the loss of loved ones, his murals hit deep. As a single father of triplets, he’s motivated to keep bringing something valuable to the world.
Want to see more of his work? “Social media is a great start. But I still carry a physical portfolio in my backpack. You never know who you’ll come across who needs inspiration.”
“I want to be an inspiration to the young people from Liberia trying to be a producer/artist.”
King Dozee pays homage to his Liberian roots while bringing a fresh cross-over of other music genres, including R&B and HipCo —hiphop mixed with “Coloqua”. Ranked #1 in Tennessee on Reverbnation’s R&B and Soul Chart, he continues to push the boundaries and make moves.
His latest album drop, ‘BIG BOY DOZEE’ released last month is an anthem to the ladies. Inspired by his female fan base, he wanted to give them something they could vibe to—streaming now on all major platforms.

realorrin
5 years agoHello, we are Orrin. A collective conscious and cyborg sent by a higher civilization to warn humanity about the incoming apocalypse. We use the conventions of music and fashion to spread awareness about the dangers human present to our planet and ability to remain here as breathing organisms. Entertainment is the ultimate learning tool because information can be passively absorbed.
The debut album, Orrin, is a 35 minute tale of adolescence, being black in America, technological singularity and the journey to finding yourself in a challenging environment.

5 years agoI started taking music serious after being sentenced to 15 years. It became my Escape, and a way to speak when I fail to express myself correctly. I came home and started to record. I have two boys age 13 and 12, they love their dads music and as there dad I wonna change their environment! I strongly believe E&J spotlight would be perfect for me, my music career, and a start for the change that I want for my kids!
Tsa Da Don
5 years agoI been working 2 jobs 7 days a week. Using the extra money I make from work to fund and promote my music. My 5 year old son looks up to me and tells me that I’m the best artist out there. Those words help me every to keep striving for greatness. It’s just hard to get your voice heard to the masses, I feel like being in the e&j spotlight can get me the exposure that I need to help with my music career get the jump that it needs.

5 years agoI want to change the narrative of hip hop music and culture and Make Hip Hop Great Again. Somewhere along the line it seems to have lost its substance. Gone are the days of great story tellers Like 2Pac & Biggie and now it's just catchy beats, gimmicks misogynistic lyrics. Most rappers these days can't even rap. My debut project is gonna change all of that and take it back to the golden age of Hip Hop with a new age sound. So remember the name Lex the Don
E2911
5 years agoI'm an Immigrant from the Turks and Caicos with a full Haitian background both my mom and dad full blooded Haitians. I struggled my whole life and now that I am 30 I'm finally achieving things I've been held back to do due to immigration. I never stopped grinding because I have a 10 year old to feed. I have several businesses on my belt and just a regular person with ambition that's gunning for the top. My parents didn't have the resources or funds to give me what I wanted but they made sure I got what I needed. So I took that same ambition and applied it. Teaching my son this so when he grows up He has a Real boss mentality that will help him eat in life.
