Straight from Portland, Oregon, Project JP is an emerging artist who embodies the heart of old-school boombap and the soul of modern-day hip-hop. Drawing inspiration from heavyweights like Project Pat, Terror Reid, and Pouya, his sound blends timeless beats with raw lyricism, much like the music of early Kanye West. But it’s not just about the beats for Project JP—his music carries a message.
“I’m all about living life to the fullest and keeping that momentum going,” he says, reflecting on the themes he conveys in his tracks. Through his music, he’s not only telling his story but also inspiring others to keep pushing forward, no matter the obstacles. Whether it’s about dealing with life’s challenges or simply staying motivated, Project JP’s tracks resonate deeply with listeners.
His latest project, B.E.I.N.G.S.O.B.E.R.S.U.C.K.S, was a personal thank you to his supporters. “It’s all about gratitude for the love and support I’ve gotten since I started,” he shares. The project encapsulates his journey, both as an artist and as an individual, with tracks that are just as much a reflection of his experiences as they are an invitation for listeners to join him in the grind.
But the grind doesn’t stop there. Project JP has also teamed up with other rising stars like Gringo La Cholo and NoFaceVenom from Vancouver, WA. Collaborations like these allow him to expand his reach and solidify his place in the underground scene, while still staying true to his unique sound and style.
So, how does Project JP keep the inspiration flowing? “Finding your groove is key. You’ve got to start somewhere to make it somewhere,” he explains. His dedication to his craft doesn’t stop when he punches out from his 9 to 5 job—he’s always writing, always looking for new beats and fresh ideas. This work ethic is evident in the way he uses social media to stay connected with fans and promote his music. Whether it’s through Instagram or SoundCloud, Project JP keeps his followers in the loop with every new drop, making sure they never miss a beat.
Project JP’s music is more than just entertainment—it’s an invitation to vibe out and stay motivated. He hopes listeners walk away with good vibes and the drive to keep pushing, no matter what. As he continues to work on his craft, his ultimate goal remains clear: to keep grinding and eventually put on a live show for his growing fanbase.
