J.Lately Bio:
J.Lately distinguishes himself as an emcee with his soulful style and laid back flow. A true appreciation for music along with the unique ability to put everyday life into a relatable perspective has allowed him to flourish in the Bay Area scene and beyond. Growing up as the bi-racial son of Korean and Canadian immigrant parents, and feeling like he never quite had a place to fit in, he is able to find the common ground in the middle. His music possesses the rare ability to make you contemplate and vibe out simultaneously, finding the perfect balance between the conscious and the stoner. Coming from the small town of Sebastopol, and having split time between Oakland and Southern California, his influences are eclectic and mesh together effortlessly to form his own individual style. A relentless drive has kept Lately on tour across the country supporting Bay Area heavy hitters Zion I, Andre Nickatina, Locksmith, and A-Plus of the Hieroglyphics.
Lyrics:
All this camo on me I look like I’m going duck hunting
I don’t run from all the negativity I duck from it
All this work to get here and all they see is the luck from it
Always worrying bout what they think will have you stuck from it
I might make a million five to nining in my basement
Not a conscious rapper I’m conscious rapper adjacent
If you don’t like me it’s ok but you don’t have to say shit
That’s messed up
Don’t twist my image
Don’t get my digits
Talking to you I bet I’ll miss my minutes
Got hella people I should call I know it’s just I didn’t
The world is crazy
One of these days might just stop spinning
I care a lot sometimes I wish I didn’t yeah
I love the mornings
But lately I’ve be writing once my kid's asleep
Nothing like being there physically
Keep a clean house cause good luck has come visit me
And just because it’s simple doesn’t mean that it isn’t deep
Smoke something, love something, try something
Complacency and lack of growth you could die from them yeah
I’m tired of trying to be cool
And if I ever disappear it’s cause I'm trying to refuel
They tried bringing me down
But you’ve been lifting me up
What a thing that we’ve found
They tried bringing me down
But you’ve been lifting me up
What a thing that we’ve found yeah
