” We at Diamond Kid Records along with our partners at Authentik Artists are proud to present JB, our first signing and the first Hip hop signing to the Authentik Artists family. JB is the REAL DEAL. A kid from Oak Park in Sacramento California, JB has been in the hip hop game since he was a small kid. Rapping on street corners with his friends and navigating his was through a tough street life, JB has emerged himself into the story teller he is today with a twist. JB loves many different types of music and when he producer/songwriter/ Z Rokk began to produce his album JB was determined to put a new stamp on the hip hop world and give back to the music he has loved his whole life. He brought with him an eclectic sound that fuses together heavy guitars, melodic hooks, and almost “electronica” instrumentation into the classic street hip hop sound. When you think of JB many artists may come to mind. He shows hilights of 50 meets Linkin Park meets MSTRCRFT meets Cypress Hill meets Deftones. Truly Unique and a new movement JB likes to call “Mob Rock!”
His new EP “Love Me or Hate Me” brings this sound with a furry of hooks and compelling lyrics that tell the story of a young man’s journey from the street to the music world of today. We at Diamond Kid Records are proud to put JB in the spotlight he deserves and are overwhelmingly excited for his release of “Love Me or Hate Me” as we want to spread his unique and new sound to the hip hop world and the music world at large.” – Z Rokk
