J-Key: North by Northwest

24: Introduce yourself to everyone that doesn’t already know who you are.

J-Key: Hey everyone, my name is J-Key. I'm an artist out of Everett, Washington. Reppin’ Bottom Line Records, but still unsigned. #SpartanUp. Holla @ me @TheONLYJKey.

24: Before we get into your music, can you describe your history about how you got into and what inspired you?

J-Key: I've been writing music since I was 6 years old. I've always loved music, been able to recite songs back to back better than i can remember my own school work. I remember I was with my two older brothers and their group of friends when they were writing and trying to be rappers. So I started writing rhymes with them and reading them in the cypher with them and it’s been a wrap ever since. My oldest brother Antwone never stopped encouraging me to write and I never had the desire to put the pen down. Music is my therapy, it’s everything to me and my drive comes from a desire to be the best to ever do it.

24: What was the Hip-Hop scene like for you growing up where you’re from?

J-Key: The Hip-Hop scene in my region for me growing up was non-existent until I turned about 15 when I ran into an older guy who did music and was more of CEO type figure. He introduced me to a closet studio for 15 an hour and some other people who could help me get moving. He taught me how to slang CDs and gave me some pointers to the game. I've been on it ever since. It wasn't as full as I would've liked for it to be though, like a California or New York scene.

Besides the local scene, the music scene here was weak, because if you know anything about the North West our music and fashion is very behind. So I was always ahead, because I do my music research but not many other people were.

24: What makes you unique as an artist and different from other rappers out now?

J-Key: What makes me unique as an artists and different from other rappers in the game today would have to be my outlook on music, the way i create music, and the depth of my perception from the words to the instruments in the beats when I listen. In other words, how serious I take the music. I look at every song as a masterpiece that you must perfect. I purposely pick producers who's beats are out of the norm, yet still relevant and different sounding and use them along with my sound to create my own sound in order to not sound like anyone.
