[LIKE & RE-POST] Fresh & Local is comprised of J.Nolan, G-Lo the Lion, JusThoughtZ, and Rex Novi (engineer/instrumentalist). "Tear Drops" is the debut single from the group dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, spiritual unrest, and the fine lines between creativity and commerce. Many of us experience these things, but in order to save face in the public, we choose to hold in our insecurities and personal issues. In this song, the group simply asks, "Why don't you let your tears drop?" They do just that in a venting session, produced by Kuddie Fresh.

Listeners may have noticed that J.Nolan hasn't released any new music since August, but will be happy to know that a brand new LP is in the works! In the meantime, he's linked up with one of his primary producers, Tuelv to let go a brand new piece entitled, "In The Stars" with Eric Thomas contributing his talents on the saxophone throughout the record. 

Those that haven't been paying close attention may notice a more spiritual, faith based undertone in J.Nolan's output which is not a mere coincidence. Stay tuned for more updates on the direction of the music and connect with Nolan at http://realjnolan.com! Much love and respect.

New EP, Spring 2016. 
Gearing up for his next official release, J.Nolan explores the concept of love in its purest form with this brand new single, "What's Love?" He makes the clear declaration that "love is spending time with your fam/ when somebody's in need, you provide what you can" and challenges his listeners to hone in on these basic elements. The record also sets the precedent for Christians to share the love of God with those that may not be on the same spiritual journey, just yet. It all comes back to love!

J Nolan is an independent Hip-Hop artist, songwriter, event curator, and advocate for music business education. Born in New Haven, CT and raised in the southside of Atlanta, he began taking his craft seriously at the age of 13 and has since undertaken the journey of pursuing music relentlessly. His songs are honest portrayals of life experiences that place his dreams, pain, and joy on display for the world to get in tune with his perspectives.

In 2013, J Nolan was introduced to the world of sync licensing by a music industry sales executive named Joseph A. Parker and Los Angeles based producer, Soulplusmind. As a songwriter, he’s had songs licensed by major productions such as Kevin Hart's "Zero F***s Given" comedy special on Netflix, the film 11:55, BET News, The Rookie on ABC, UFC’s Road to the Octagon, Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, Black Ink Crew, MTV: True Life, DJ Jazzy Jeff’s travel show Vinyl Destination, Step Up: High Water, and You Me Her on Audience Network. He’s also written numerous theme songs for small businesses, podcasts, YouTube channels, game streamers, and more. His proficiency as a writer and artist have gained him additional recognition from industry figures such as 9th Wonder, Don Cannon, and Heather B.  

Outside of the studio, J Nolan is the co-founder of Fresh & Local ATL, an initiative dedicated to educating independent artists and helping them to capitalize on their skills. The platform hosts periodic showcases in the city of Atlanta and also has a yearly community festival called Fresh & Local Fest. The event is family friendly and open to the general public with a full lineup of artists, DJ’s, and live producers. As a whole, the Fresh & Local initiative has helped over 75 artists showcase their talent on stage and are frequently passing information about the music business to those very same creators with a quarterly workshop called the Songwriter’s Social Club.
