JRGotTheHiTS

Divine restraint and manifest destiny have become the definitive marks of JRGotTheHiTS’ career as an artist, producer, and composer. JRGotTheHiTS channels his upbringing in a family of musicians and ministers, (as well as ancestral wisdom), into layered experiences that blend seamlessly across genre or platform. Following in the tradition of his bloodline, he fuses music and spirituality into creative works that raises the consciousness of listeners and collaborators without sacrificing showmanship. Instead, he satisfies his taste for organic sounds that induce nostalgic warmth and timeless reverence by enlisting the help of fellow musicians that comprise the loose collective & publishing company AGiLE SOCiETY. JRGotTheHiTS process of capturing the sampled feel of golden-era hip-hop through recreating those sounds live in-studio is featured across the AGiLE SOCiETY album GOLDEN RATiO and is signature to his admittedly diverse production style. Driven by his intuitive understanding of rhythm and arithmetic as a drummer and percussionist, JRGotTheHiTS fuses his textbook agility with master level improvisation that rewards listeners for their attention. This is most evident in collaborations with artists like emerging icon Yuneer Gainz and hip-hop legend Royce Da 5’9 alike. Providing executive production for independent artists like KID VISHIS and Boog Brown, JRGotTheHiTS also continues to prepare his Summer 2023 album RETURN of the PEOPLE MOVER. The independent-jazz album explores nonverbal communication, spreading 13 instrumental vignettes across a listening experience that mimics riding the historic Detroit People Mover, a novelty mass-transit project that was meant to bring the motor city into the future of public transportation. Though it homages late 80’s Detroit culture, RotPM is inspired by events in JRGotTheHiTS’ personal life ranging from the growth of his family to a most recent and deeply personal spiritual awakening.
