Oakland, California artist Jthurston returns with two new tracks ‘Different’ & ‘All I Know’ both accompanied by a visual treatment.
With inspiration drawn from acts like Kid Cudi, Childish Gambino and Wu-Tang Clan, Jthurston still manages to create his own lane, allowing him to stand out as a unique artist in this period of mumble rappers. Jthurston’s flow is modern but yet still moulded in the ‘old school‘ rap style most of us grew up on in the ’90s with.
“In “Different”, Jthurston uses various metaphors to describe why he is separate from societal norms and proud of it. Fellow artist Nikkle 9 joins in the track and maintains the theme, resulting in a testament to the beauty of uniqueness in a world where conformity is idolized (see video above).”
All I know is a song about affirmation of one’s worth, and the dedication to not just recognize your own potential but also put forth the work required to make your dreams come into fruition. Watch below…
