Producer Spotlight: J-Cuse (Indianapolis, IN)

I wanted to do a producer spotlight section on my blog to shout out all the producers who are doing their thing. This particular producer J-Cuse, made me want to delve into his catalog after hearing a myriad of hits and asking "who produced this"? Same answer, J Cuse. His sound is unique, he does some sampling but you can hear the depth in his musical background through the rest of his arrangements. His range is as impressive as it gets, from the 90s "Boom Bap" sound, to today's "trap music" and everywhere in between. He has been making his bones producing for Midwest sensation Mark Battles and Derek Luh but has a lot of good music production credit under his belt. A line up of artists and production includes: Mark Battles ft Curren$y (Fly America) "My Shoes", Mark Battles ft Derek Luh "Hustle Back", G.B. The Flyboi "Perk N Twerk", Dizzy Wright, Euroz, and more. His work ethic is crazy and I look to see even more major placements from this prodigy. 2015 looks to be a promising year in this producer's future, J-Cuse!!

Top 10 Artists To Watch in 2015: #1 Trevor Jackson

We put together this list to highlight who is making the moves and who is NEXT from our state. Each one of these artists may not necessarily be the "nicest" lyricist or who you think raps best. All 10 of these people are putting themselves in position to be industry factors for the year of 2015. Watch and pay attention.

10. Playbwoi Tha Great

9. Poindexter

8. Lil E Hoe

7. Al Koleon

6. Ricky Freezer

5. Hit Skrewface

4. Robyn Fly

3. Myah Evans

2. Mark Battles

1. Trevor Jackson

I had to think about the #1 selection this year because previously all winners had been rappers and we have a lot very talented ones in the state. But I look at this kids talent and I asked myself 'if Michael Jackson' was out today would he garner this recognition?' And the answer was HELL YES! What you are looking at is a prodigy, the next of the NEXT. He has groomed in singing, performing, acting, and dancing. He has been featured on Disney, SyFy Channel, Broadway's "The Lion King", TV roles on Cold Case and Harry's Law. His description on Wikipedia says "PERFORMER". He is now signed to #AtlanticRecords and in 2014 was featured on songs with Sage The Gemini and toured with his best friend Diggy Simmons. Yeah THAT Diggy. We could be looking at the next Chris Brown, Trey Songz, August Alsina but I think we are seeing the first Trevor Jackson. Being from Indiana, what a name.
