Brooklyn rapper, J.I. releases “Murda,” a powerful new hard-hitting single that fuses his classic melodic tenor and slick in-your-face commanding bars.

The song and video follow J.I.'s emotional track “Taken For Granted,” a softer R&B anthem that garnered support from Revolt, Rap Radar and HNHH who praised him as an artist who’s “consistency remains impressive.” To date, the track has amassed nearly 3 million views on YouTube, as well as support across all Digital Streaming Partners (Spotify’s New Music Friday, Apple’s The Plug, Pandora, Tidal, Audiomack, etc.) Prior to “Taken For Granted,” J.I. shared his electrifying June freestyle “No Hook,” that reminded his fans of his raw NYC tone. J.I. started his career freestyling with his brothers at the age of 11 and since developed into one of the Big Apple’s biggest breakthrough artists.
These recent singles arrive fresh on the heels of his recently wrapped, North American “The Young and Restless Tour” where he made stops in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Chicago and Boston. This year he’s also performed at major festivals including Rolling: Loud Miami, Day N Vegas, and Rolling Loud: New York where he was recognized for his electric performance by The Source, Rolling Stone, Paste, The New York Post, Consequence of Sound and more. To wrap of his year J.I. id set to perform at Rolling Loud: California.
