Can J Midd Stand Out among the Crowd?

It’s rare that you can bring up an artist who doesn’t include cursing in his raps or the cliché go-to-topics of money, drugs and girls that seem mandatory in today’s hip hop music, but newcomer J Midd plans to flip the script when it comes to what’s hot in popular music.

The Atlanta born and raised rapper has been steadily making a name for himself in the music industry, not only for his multi-talented skill set (he also sings and plays the guitar), but also for the positive vibe he’s creating for himself and those around him.

Armed with a dream and a supportive team, he is quickly moving up the ladder, and it’s only a matter of time before he makes a splash on the national scene.

You’re signed to R&B singer TQ’s label, but how did that connection come about for you?

We have a little situation with Kado Records which TQ is involved with. Long story short, Ms. Laura saw one of my shows while I was doing some touring with the Ying Yang twins last year, and I ended up doing a song with them, and she came out to one of the shows in Destin and saw me performed and she liked it so we kept in contact. We kept in touch over the year and this “Up, Up and Away” song came about. I was in the studio with one of her artists then with Universal and they asked me to sing the hook for them and I said superman in the hook and they’re real close with Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic and he loved it, so it ended up being his theme song and we ended up working out a little agreement where I have a partnership with them and TQ jumped on board and he’s like my big bro now, so we’re just making moves.

Why did you want to sign with TQ as opposed to doing something else?

That could go into like twelve different conversations, but basically in the overall scheme of things I just refuse to go major right now because I don’t like how they’re taking independent artists into these 360 deals and I think you’re limited and compromised and I have a message that I’m trying to portray as far as these project which is the redefinition of party. My goal is to prove to our generation that you can party without a drink in your hand. You’ll never hear a curse word in my music and it’s just a positive route that I’m going and if I were to go major I feel I would definitely have to compromise and I didn’t want to do it. So, when the situation with Kado and TQ came about it was an independent label and I liked the vision that they had. It all started with “Up, Up and Away” and we worked out our partnership, so now we’re working on the project and setting up the campaign that’s dropping at the end of the summer. I like the direction that they were going in and it complimented what we had going, so we just teamed up.

Oprah Winfrey Called “Antichrist” By Controversial ... - Hip Hop Wired

Oprah Called The "Antichrist"

We're not sure exactly what Oprah Winfrey did to Mike Bickle, head of the International House of Prayer (a.k.a. IHOP, no pancakes), but he obviously isn't a fan of the popular television host.

Oprah probably doesn't know what she did to Bickle either, but a video was recently revealed where the Kansas City, Missouri minister compared Oprah to the "Antichrist" and warned his followers of her deceptive ways.

"The Harlot Babylon is preparing the nations to receive the Antichrist,"

Hey, not every man is a fan of the Oprah Winfrey Show, but Mike Bickle might be taking things a bit too far.
