JasonMartin: FKA Problem's new 'I Owe Myself' album has officially arrived

The wait is over - JasonMartin - formerly FKA Problem - is done just putting out a single and music video, the hip-hop artist delivers with a much-needed new I Owe Myself studio album. Needless to say? It slaps.

JasonMartin’s new ‘I Owe Myself’ album has arrived

Rather than waiting for Memorial Day Weekend or even the summertime vibes, JM gets a jump on the culture with his new studio effort. Packed with hard-hitting songs along with solid guest features, the project hits from start to finish.

New name, who dis…  In life, your name is your brand.  It’s the connective tissue that gives you and those around you a sense of who you are, and your place in the world.  As an artist, the overarching goal is to cultivate a trusted name and brand that symbolizes cultural value and significance to the masses.   Over the last decade, the artist FKA as Problem has achieved that and then some.  The multi-hyphenate has reached great heights as an artist, producer, film director, business owner (Dubbs Coffee Shop in Hollywood), entrepreneur (his Coffee & Kush Brand) and as a fledging actor (you can catch him in the White Men Can’t Jump Reboot on 5-19-23). 

But as the old adage goes “there is nothing permanent except change,” and change can be healthy.  As we grow it spurs new thoughts, new ideas, and new directions.  When you reach that ideological crossroads as a branded artist, you are faced with two choices; stay the course, or reinvention.  Some take the road less traveled, and pave their own path; exit Problem, welcome JasonMartin.

“It was time.  Your name is everything when it comes to this business.  Calling myself Problem at this stage of my life just felt irresponsible and counterproductive; especially when my whole existence has been built off creating solutions for others” JasonMartin affirms.  “I also felt that continuing my career using the name my parents gave me was bigger for the extension of my family tree.  Thank you 2 Chainz for giving me that extra push to do it.” 

To coincide with the name change, JasonMartin released his new album, I Owe Myself, which is now available.  “I Owe Myself is by far my most international piece of work” JasonMartin asserts.  “Every word, every message, every instrument was on purpose.  Nothing about this project reeks of randomness.”  TDE’s Punch is just as enthusiastic with his praise of I Owe Myself ““I had the opportunity to listen to this album the other night.  Phenomenal music.  Problem has always been an elite MC, but the growth and truth in this body of work is truly inspiring.  Great work champion.”

Need more than just a fire album? How about another music video in the form of JasonMartin’s ‘FUPAYME’ visual? You got it.

To coincide with his new album, Jason also released the visual for what promises to be his next hit single “FUPAYME.”  “The fact that this video is co-directed by my nephew is the true jewelry here” Jason quips.  “Kaidontrap & Kelo are the future.  With the sonics of the song being so “happy,” we had to be reckless and dangerous with the visual.  I absolutely loved creating this video.” 

JasonMartin: There's no holding back with FKA Problem's hard-hitting 'Family Tree'

Whenever you have Harry Fraud involved you know there are going to some serious head nodding. JasonMartin - formerly known as FKA Problem - teams up with the legendary producer like LeBron James and Anthony Davis for their new ‘Family Tree’ single from the upcoming I Owe Myself studio album.

JasonMartin and Harry Fraud’s ‘Family Tree’ goes extra hard

While we’ll have to wait until May 12 for the actual LP, Jason gets your full attention courtesy of the new ‘Family Tree’ anthem. The single has signature sounds and the artwork speaks volumes, too.

Need to learn more about JasonMartin? How about the motivation behind piecing together ‘Family Tree’ and the new LP? Say less.

To coincide with the name change, JasonMartin is also announcing a new album titled album, I Owe Myself, which will be released on 5-12-23, and a prelude single, “Family Tree”,’ which is produced by Harry Fraud.  “Family Tree” is now available at all DSP’s.

“Family Tree” is a capsule piece.  The last 2-3 years, I’ve dealt with more losses than ever.  Best friends and family members have passed away at a rapid pace.  Restructuring my life and business all while going through the pain that comes with death has undeniably taken its toll” Jason concedes.  “Family Tree” represents perseverance.  You can’t give up when you’re living for things bigger than yourself.  You have to keep going!  Musically, I was able to reconnect with a great friend.  Harry has been one of the most genuine creators I’ve met on my journey.  It was an honor to work with him on this song.” 

While “Family Tree” gives fans an early insight into the new artistic path JasonMartin is now on, he wants to keep things close to the vest.  “I Owe Myself is far different from any other project I’ve ever released in my career.  All the music was created by a new collective of musicians (The Melodikz).  I don’t want to give to much away, but I am super proud of it

JasonMartin’s new album I Owe Myself will be released on 5-12-23.
