WHAT IT IS: With a series of viral videos taking the Internet by storm, budding Georgia rapper JMB Juvie has become a powerful new force in hip-hop. During a two-year prison sentence, Juvie spent time on his craft and went viral freestyling in his cell. After his release, he dropped his project From the Cells to the Skreets, alongside a string of tracks, including the single “Wicked,” which has amassed millions of streams. Continuing his momentum, Juvie started working with producer TnTXD, inked with Alamo and is set to release his From the Cage to the Stage mixtape later this year, with another due to arrive in Q1 of 2022.
