His music defies genres, blending everything from trap to metal, and his journey is a testament to the power of self-expression and resilience. I recently had the chance to sit down with JBish and dive into his world—from his creative process to where he sees his career heading. https://linktr.ee/jbish29 Humble Beginnings JBish didn’t start with dreams of rap superstardom.

We’d freestyle for fun, and that turned into us recording them. That was the start.” From there, his love for music grew. Influenced by bands like Slipknot and A Day to Remember in his early years, he found his way into rap around the age of 10. “Tha...

There’s something incredibly raw and humbling about hearing a song that’s been 20 years in the making. Konslayer’s latest track isn’t just another piece of music — it’s a culmination of years spent playing, reflecting, hurting, and healing. It’s a window into a life that’s seen joy, heartbreak, and relentless dedication to a craft. And honestly? You can feel all of that in this song.  PRESAVE The Stigma of Playing Acoustic If you’ve ever been around metalheads or guitar enthusiasts, you know there’s been this unwritten rule: If you can’t shred on an acoustic guitar, then you can’t really play.
