J’sar, the Virginia-born lyricist with a pen rooted in soul and a voice shaped by the streets, returns with a new project that packs intention, grit, and evolution into a tight 13-minute soundtrack. His latest project, 7 on 6, is fully produced by the versatile Nicky Nines, and marks a new chapter in J’sar’s ever-unfolding story.
Coming up in Newport News, J’sar’s early connection to music was nurtured in his grandmother’s home where soul records poured out of the radio and into his notebook. As a kid, he was already recording bars on tape decks, sharpening a skillset that would later become his life’s work. Now, after years of sacrifice, skipped summers, and growth both in and out of the booth, J’sar’s voice has matured into one that carries both authenticity and urgency.
7 on 6 reflects that growth, a four-track capsule that challenges listeners to lock in or get left. Nicky Nines pushes J’sar into new sonic territory, one that blends his rugged rhyme style with melodic, high-tempo production. The result is short but impactful.
- “FWM” sets the tone, a bold invitation for fans and doubters alike to catch the wave before it’s too late.
- “Paid in Full” reminds us that comfort is the enemy of greatness, with J’sar declaring his refusal to settle or chase comparisons.
- “Death and Taxes” fires back at the distractions of the game—aimed at rappers and critics too caught up in the wrong energy.
- And on the title track “7 on 6”, we hear the full payoff of the J’sar x Nicky Nines collaboration—experimental, slick, and stamped with intent.
This project may be brief, but it’s heavy with substance. J’sar proves yet again that he’s not just here to rap, he’s here to speak, move, and evolve. Tap in HERE
