Meet JG: From Foster Care to the Pursuit of Happiness

JG recently released an album called The Pursuit of Happiness. In 2013 he released a free album called The Story, upon which he primarily rapped. “The first thing I had going in was I wanted people to know I wasn’t a freaking rapper. I rapped, but I wanted people to listen to this album and be like, ‘yo, he is a singer.’” He wants this new album to be transparent and share what is on his heart.

“I want people to be able to hear this music and see themselves.”

Many of his songs are based on experiences that he has been through in his life, stretching from his youth to the present. “What I want people to get from this album is my heart, my heart for them and my honesty. A lot of artists ain’t honest. They make hypothetical music; I make real music.”
