Despite how repetitive or mundane our lives may seem on a day-to-day basis, the truth is that we really have no idea what the next moment may bring. Great fortune can manifest as a product of all our hard work, new friends can be made, old friends may leave, and we may very well meet our own demise at any time. "Speed of Light" focuses on the time we do have here on this Earth to emphasize the importance of progress and productivity as it pertains to ourselves and the world around us. 

Making moves at the speed of light isn't really about financial gain so much as it's about building a foundation to fulfill our dreams and reaching the potential we so often fantasize about. We all must ask ourselves if we're really giving these dreams our best shot, and if not, why not? Our window of opportunity can easily be gone in a flash...

[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.

Brand new single from Atlanta's own, J.Nolan. After taking a lengthy hiatus which led to music placements on VH1 & MTV programming, the lyricist returns with this heartfelt offering dedicated to those going through turbulent times. Many people feel like they've been left behind or that their stories will remain unheard. "Korrupt World" is just one piece of a much needed dialogue in our community. God bless!

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.

J.Nolan has been hard at work on his forthcoming LP, Rise of ATLantis throughout the summer of 2016 and is finally ready to present his new sound, which he calls "Progressive Hip-Hop." The single "Nobody Knows" introduces a more bass driven, bouncy approach that hasn't been heard on previous releases - but the lyrical content and depth of the music is still very much alive. 

"Nobody Knows" features Nolan & JusThoughtZ sharing their own perspectives on the sensitive subject of Inadequacy. Many people get so caught up in image, material wealth, and trying to keep up with the latest everything to the point that they lose sight of their own self-worth in the process. Some are tempted to 'do wrong when things don't seem to go right' and others find solace in overcompensating their shortcomings with false pride. These emotions run deep and can ultimately lead to even more than self-destruction if they go unchecked...

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.
