“I rap what I live — and I live it for real.”
That’s the energy Baby Don brings to every track. Raised in a world where nothing came easy, Baby Don found his voice through music — not to chase clout, but to speak truth. Every verse is a piece of his story: the wins, the losses, the lessons, and the grind it took to rise above.

What started as freestyles with the homies turned into something bigger — a mission to be heard. With a natural ear for melody and a hunger that can’t be taught, Baby Don brings raw emotion, confidence, and soul into every beat. Whether he’s flexing his success or reflecting on where he came from, he stays real to himself and the people who relate.

His music isn’t just about making noise — it’s about making impact. From late nights in the studio to dropping tracks that hit heavy, Baby Don is building something lasting. For the ones who came from the bottom. For the ones still in the trenches.

This is Baby Don. This is real life in rhythm.

Ever seen someone who just looks like a star? What does a “star” even look like? Obviously something like 27 year old singer/ producer/ songwriter Jkeyez, because people constantly stop him in public and tell him so. “What do you do?” they ask emphatically. Simply put, he was born to make great music; and everyone who knows him, knows that..... Although he’s been singing since he could talk, Jkeyez has evolved into the complete musician he is today. He cleared a lane for himself at the turn of the millennium, honing his production skills with fellow classmates “Silence” before working with independent production powerhouse Latch Key. His career took a sudden turn for the better when he sang the hook for “All I Want Is You”, a mid-tempo hip-hop / R&B cut that had the internet going haywire. Within minutes of posting it for sale on www.soundclick.com, the calls and emails started pouring in. Mostly everyone had the same question: “Who is that singing the hook?” Since then he has become the 1 go to guy in his hometown of Bakersfield for hooks..... Besides the fact that he writes (all) and produces (most of) his own material, His pursuit of perfection and humble mentality are rare in today’s superficial music scene. He rises before the sun daily to run, workout, rehearse vocals and piano before rushing off to class. By late afternoon he’s back in the lab; where he usually spends the rest of his day, unless duty calls. By Staying True to music it helps him to maintain his focus, while drawing inspiration to keep his dream alive from legends like Babyface and R. Kelly..... His, as yet untitled, debut sounds more like it was derived from divine inspiration. Joints like the sure fire dance floor igniter “See You Dance”; the groovy 
“My Love”; and the heartfelt “Empty”, amongst others have made choosing a lead single has become a task in itself. Call it a gift and a curse, but any of his songs could easily be top 10 on the charts regardless of who is out.

Mike Martin aka DaddyOFive | Raised by the struggle. Forged in fire.
No silver spoon, no safety net — just pain, purpose, and a pen. I’ve lived through hell with no mother, no father, no handouts. Just me and God. My music is my truth — a mix of trauma, loyalty, street scars, and the battle between darkness and redemption. I rap for the broken, the betrayed, the ones who never had a voice. Every bar is real. Every verse bleeds. This ain’t for clout — it’s for my kids, my name, my legacy.

Welcome to my world. Respect the grind.
