RAPPER OGPD DROPS HIS SECOND MIXTAPE “MPR” OUT NOW

Published

on

Rapper Deshawn Williams Aka OGPD has released his second mixtape “MPR” out now! Born and raised in The Bronx, New York, he is self-made and is in the up-and-coming stages of his career. He currently isn’t associated with any labels but is always open to hearing a pitch from a record label. He describes his image as a “Fly Caribbean from The Bronx with down south ties.” OGPD lives by two mottos, “Stay true to yourself and don’t change for anyone else” and “Tough times don’t last, but people do.”

His musical inspiration came from his father, who was a DJ in the mid-’90s. Being exposed to music at a young age spiked his interest in the inner workings of music, where he found out he had a great ear for it. OGPD’s target audience is everyone but hopes to reach a younger demographic to motivate and inspire. After learning the industry inside and out behind the scenes, he is now taking his craft to the public. His short-term goal is to make “1050” greater than what it currently is, long-term he hopes to have it become worldwide. Although he has solely been working with his 1050 team right now, OGPD tells us he is open to collaborating with different artists in the future. 

In the next five years, OGPD hopes to become a mogul while continuing his work within his community. “Without the community, there is no me. We are products of our environments, and if we can help clean and rebuild our communities, we can better our future,” says OGPD, showing us that change starts from within and he is here to help make those changes. When he isn’t in the studio, he loves to work out and stay active and believes the best advice he can give to the youth who want to pursue a career in music is that “Anything is Possible!” Platforms like Power 105, 808wave, Genius, and more have featured OGPD in the past. To reach OGPD or follow up with his latest music, you can find him on Instagram: @_ogpd_ or email him directly at ogpdtct@gmail.com.

Jay Jullio is saying goodbye to 2023 with the release of his single ‘Bookbag Kid.’ With him having taken a pause on music to focus on his mental and physical health, it is exciting to have him back in the mix. 

Releasing new music was a very personal journey for Jay because he was hyper focused on caring for himself. When asked about his music pause, he said, “I took a long break from music… [and now this is] me being healed enough to be verbal about things that held me back and my comfortability as an artist.” In today’s world, so much is happening that we all forget about healing and making peace with ourselves. Jay sets the example of striving to heal and create something meaningful out of it. He says he wants people “to get the full experience of ME every time I deliver.” Without a doubt, Jay is delivering the whole package. 

With Jay finding comfort in himself, he created this piece of art for himself. He says this single means more to him than any other work he has put out– he feels he is re-introducing himself. ‘Bookbag Kid’ is a transformative record that tells his story by reflecting on his struggles and where he is now. Jay is here to remind himself and his fans that although we all go through tough times, our stories are unique. That is what makes us who we are. 

‘Bookbag Kid’ is just the beginning of this next chapter for Jay Jullio. The Detroit-native plans to release more new music in 2024 and continue to personally evolve. Keep an eye out for more new music, listen to Jay Julio’s new release ‘Bookbag Kid’ and follow him on social media @jayjullio
