I recently had the opportunity to exclusively J Young MDK interview about five random facts about himself, what something he learned about himself in 2020 . Plus what advice he has for future musicians. Check out my interview with J Young MDK below:
Loryn: What inspired you to create fifty songs, within fifty weeks?
J Young MDK: The pandemic has affected everyone in the industry, but I made the best out of this time and released more content than ever before! It inspired me to deliver 50 songs in 50 weeks to help uplift my fans during these unprecedented times. They didn’t know whether I was dropping a rap record or R&B song, they just anticipated a release.
Loryn: Where do you find your musical inspiration?
J Young MDK: I find musical inspiration all over the world! I was a freestyle champion in Atlanta and also from previous experiences whether it be relationships, friendships and family. My musical influences are Tupac, Biggie, Jay Z, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Drake, Jamie Foxx, Fabolous and many more!

My transparency about my diagnosis led to becoming an official ambassador with the American Diabetes Association.
Loryn: What advice do you have for future musicians?
