Themes of RJM’s Music
The music industry has always been a creative and ever-changing stream. From the early days of Jazz to the rise of Hip-Hop, musicians have always found new ways to express themselves and connect with their audiences. Today, the music industry is more global and diverse than ever before. Thanks to the internet, musicians can now easily reach audiences across the world with their music. At the same time, new technologies are making it possible for more people to create and share their own pieces. As a result, we are seeing an explosion of creativity and passion in the music industry. RJM, born in 1995, is one of the best-emerging Hip-Hop and Rap artists.
Early Lifestyle
As a child, RJM enjoyed playing the piano, which ultimately sparked his interest in Hip-Hop. With such powerful influences like Nas, Wu-Tang Clan, and Pharrell, this young artist was destined to become a self-taught MC.
Born and raised in Sicklerville, New Jersey, RJM began his journey as a musician while going through a dark and challenging period in his life, which led to his passion for poetry during high school. His fondness for painting, art, skate culture, and martial arts subsequently influenced his artistic development and style.
RJM’s understanding of the duality of good and bad in life aided in creating an unapologetic depiction of his reality and honesty in his work.
About RJM’s Music
The uprising musician released his debut album, “Defined,” in 2018, precisely five years after his first venture, “Undefined.” The years of self-assessment he has gone through have brought him to the point of clarity. The entire album discusses various aspects of his personal life and his desire for success.
When he tells the story of how his friend passed after being a victim of street violence in “Young Chris,” he does it while reflecting on his life and faith. The album is his most coherent to date in terms of sound perfection.
For many, “Defined” can be seen as a link between the old and new schools of Hip-Hop.
Its release is a landmark event because of the artist’s versatility, his recording, and the mixing quality. Through creating, recording, mixing, mastering, directing, and editing his videos, RJM continues to grow as an independent artist. “Behind the Blindfold,” his highlight video from 2018, exhibits eye-catching aesthetics to hint at ideas that go deeper into his thoughts.
As a performer, he makes it a point to tell stories via his songs, which allows him to reach a receptive audience and explore topics that speak to individuals with a keen eye. Over the years, RJM’s objective and message have stayed the same: never be afraid to express precisely how you feel, regardless of the media.
Poetic Drive, RJM’s fresh new album, tells a story of the transformation of one’s life through the lens of love, growth, and pain. Each song of the album explores concepts such as listening to your gut feelings, staying grounded, and remaining loyal to who you are as an individual. The work demonstrates issues through contemporary social disparities and takes a more focused approach to address the existing racial problems across the country.
As the Executive Producer of this album, Poetic Drive, RJM utilizes Hip-Hop references and meaningful lyrics to tell a story starting with the song “Conscious” and ending with “Flatline.” The album has been created specifically for the community, intending to reflect the present culture. RJM utilizes his voice to promote the statement of not being silent, which is portrayed via the lyrical songs and messages contained within the album. He uses his voice to promote the notion of raising one’s voice against injustices.
