Sometimes we get way to focused on the "main event" and we forget to enjoy the process, and the aftermath (or come down). Revelation is about opening your eyes and seeing life for what it can truly be.

Revelation Ok... Where to begin? Recently, I've been feeling underwhelmed and at times incredibly discontent with our music industry here in SA (and globally, too). I do realise how this may come across; just another frustrated artist disgruntled by his own percieved lack of success, lashing out through a blog. Boring. But in attempts to "keep it real" I will do my best to jot down how I honestly feel, irrispective of how it may be viewed. You see, the majority of us start out the same in this game. Passionate. Driven. Wanting to make a difference though our heartfelt musings on wax. "It's not about the money or the fame" is a line I've heard repeated more times than I can count. In fact, this very ideology was the cornerstone of my early identity as a musician. "I'll just be myself, speak to the people and be a fucking star", I said. Yeah. I know. It doesn't work like that. Because you grow up. How is the world going to hear your "realness" with out an impressive marketing campaign, extensive touring and an almost endless source of funding for music videos, payola (yes, that happens more than you'd be comfortable to know) and so forth? Why should anyone give a damn about what you're saying, when there are thousands of other talented artists out there? How will you continue to wax lyrical when you have no income? Yeah, that's right, you need popular songs. And a polished image. And the right connections. And impeccable timing. And a team of dedicated people behind you. And a healthy dash of luck..... And that, my good people, is (at least in theory) how you secure yourself a future in this industry. The correct combination of the above has the potential to make you a household name before you can yell "Fuck me, I'm famous!". So, at a certain age, once the naive veil you've unknowingly draped over your vision has worn thin, this prospect becomes an attractive one. "Damn...Money. I could pay my bills. I could take care of my family. I could live the lifestyle I've always felt I'm entitled to." And, as is expected, the journey to popularity begins. Slang and dress sense change and the music becomes ultra slick and catchy as it is infused with current trends and memes (if you're doing it right, that is). Long gone are the days of self expression; of true creative freedom. The people must receive want they want. Therefore, I must be who the people want me to be. The art suffers. Now, I will in no way exempt myself from the list of people who have aquired this mentality. I've struggled with this inner conflict for the last few years. I have, at times been a drop in the sea of unchecked mediocrity that we call "cookie-cutter" pop/ hip-hop music (there is great, original pop music out there too). It's far easier to fit in, to do what's expected and be accepted than it is to stand out and risk everything. FAR easier. So, Revelation. After focusing a considerable amount of time and energy on creating singles, I grew complacent and tired. To the point where I questioned my motives and goals daily. I needed a drastic change. Then, one night about a month-and-a-half back, Silas plays me this beat. He's sampled a track called Am I wrong, by Nico and Vinz, whom I had been a fan of since they were known as Envy. And I went in. And I created something that I was immensely proud of for the first time in a long while. And it felt good. I decided we would not stop. Silas sampled some more amazing tracks and kept supplying me with firey platforms on which to display my (previously dormant) abilities. I was able to tap into emotions, tell stories and be truly free with the writing process. The goal of this project was to evoke emotion and unlock nostalgia. And based on some of the reactions Silas and I have gotten thus far, I'd say we're not far off. Now don't get me wrong. This is not me saying, "I've found my true self in this deep, brooding artist, so fuck the industry". Thats not it at all. This is me saying, "this is where I'm at right now musically, and I'm going to express it". It feels right, and I think the fans will pick that up immediately. With that being said, will I stop striving to make amazing music with mass appeal? No. Will the Revelation ep change my approach to the creation of popular hip hop music? Undoubtedly. I hope you guys enjoy the project. J

01 Spotlight (Intro)

Justin J-Lawless Perrow is a Hip-Hop artist based in Johannesburg, South Africa. His music is a blend of cutting edge production and lyricism often described as nostalgic, energetic and refreshingly self-aware. 
Fresh off the release of the much acclaimed Revelation EP (aided by production partner and frequent collaborator Silas), he is currently working on his debut album set for release in early 2015. 
He has become somewhat of a staple in the South African underground hip-hop scene, since the release of his mixtape The Calm Before in late 2011. His subsequent Black ‘n Blue collaborations with fellow local heavyweight PdotO also gained somewhat of a cult following amongst the hip hop community. The following year he was signed to Universal Music Group SA, after his music was brought to the attention of their A&R department. After the unsuccessful release of his first single, he was shelved for an extended period of time and became increasingly disheartened by the local music industry. This prompted the release of his follow-up mixtape, Until Tomorrow in 2013. In Early 2014, he was released from his UMGSA contract. 
The newly acquired freedom inspired the Revelation EP with producer Silas Beats, his most well received project to date. Lauded for its sampling, fresh production and existentially themed content, the project went on to attract well in excess of 13,000 downloads and cemented J-Lawless as an undeniable force in South African hip hop. He has worked with a range of artists, including Blaklez, PdotO, Kid X, Bongani Fassie and Maggz. 
With sights firmly set on the international scene, and a new endorsement from Johannesburg based music retailer Music Connection, J-Lawless continues to innovate and explore through his music. His growing list of Co-signs includes the names of industry heavy weights such as Knobody (the man behind the rise of Akon), the Newton Twins (Lauren Hill) Mike Bajue and Teddy Riley.

Leading the charge and guiding Js career is Neil “Bishop” Hartze. Neil is a South African born American citizen. He is a veteran of the US.Army and served in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Neil has been involved in the entertainment industry for over 8 years in a myriad of roles from production to concert promotion to artist management. On the US side he has worked with top tier artists such as Drake (YMCMB) Rick Ross (Maybach Music) Raekwon tha Chef (Wu-Tang) to name a few. In South Africa he has previously represented Dineo Ranaka,BlakLez , and Bongani Fassie. Bishop discovered J-Lawless while in South Africa in 2011 for the Castle Lite Feel the Beat of SubZero concert. Since then Neil has streamlined his roster to focus solely on developing and preparing Justin for his move to the US to pursue his HipHop career. Besides the music/entertainment industry Neil is involved in high level technology and is a partner and director in Eureka Technology focusing on the “Internet of Things” ,”Weapons Technology” and “Spatial Bluetooth Audio”.He is determined to make J-Lawless a staple on the international HipHop scene,by any means necessary. Neil believes that one of the saddest things in life in unrecognized talent.Its his passion to bring talented artists to the right ears.
