"Deep-voiced and self-proclaimed 'average guy' whose flexibility allows him to twist words to fit any beat. Catch Wreck’s style exudes the almost lackadaisical confidence of someone along the lines of Prodigy from Mobb Deep." -XXL

JuneLyfe is most known for his work with Cool Collective Reps Music Group (CCRMG) as 1/3 of the hip hop group, Retrospek (JuneLyfe | Spnda | Rah Intelligence). He has shared the stage with the likes of Madlib, Raekwon, Black Milk, Roc Marciano, Styles P, Pharaoh Monch and many more.

With countless acclaimed guest appearances to his name, JuneLyfe has been steadily building his musical resume over the years while also running with the crews Cool Collective Reps, Retrospek and The Winners. And now the Roxbury, MA native steps out on his own. As the man says himself, this is quite literally his life in the form of a raw, gritty hip-hop album full of sharp lyricism, hard-hitting production, and impressive musicality.

Those qualities can be tied back to his stomping grounds of Roxbury, where influential artists ranging from New Edition to Edo G. called home. And their influence on June’s music is firmly cemented as he carries the torch proudly for his neighborhood. “My environment in Roxbury—my childhood and so forth—has developed into a certain passion and attitude that I will always carry with me everywhere I go,” he explains. 

His passion comes through whether he’s gritting his teeth, or flexing his funkier side. The musicality of JuneLyfe just bleeds through on instruments that help the sound flow and provide a strong sense of cohesion.

Everything about 'Lyfe' comes together on the albums itself but also in the way that June talks about it. He’s frank in discussing the difficulties he overcame to figure out how he would represent himself as a solo artist, and he put in the work to define who he is as a person. “I had to live more, read more, be more empathetic, have more integrity, be a little more vulnerable,” he says. “All these things have helped in the manifestation of the growth presented on the record.”
