Album - A Man Apart:
Martinus Hutcherson began rapping at age 12, when most boys are playing touch football and basketball, Martinus was writing songs. With a penchant for R&B, Martinus quickly found that he couldn't sing. Experiencing the now classic albums of Jay-z, NAS, Snoop Dogg, Outkast, Common, The Roots, etc would turn the young crooning Martinus to the rapping, J. Clear.
Choosing his name because, the twenty-something Taurean describes himself as a versatile lyricist who can touch on numerous topics while maintaining his own identity. On his Debut album with New Bridge Records, LLC. A Man Apart, J. Clear touches on numerous subjects on the 13-track disc.
"(The album) is like a real person. Not happy all the time, not sad all the time. I wanted to show a variety of emotions."
A Man Apart is an album that never loses its pace. Songs like "Who U Ridin Wit" and "Let 'Em Know" are defensive to critics and detractors, while "U got it" is a popular party song. The debut single "Show you off" is a two-step song that encourages men to appreciate there woman and "Show them off". "Show you off" along with "Still Cool, Calm Collective also features Mike Winans Jr from the legendary gospel family.
"A lot of rap artists are killing people on 15 tracks of their album, and on the 16th track, they want to love God. No man hates women all the time. Real people have real different emotions."
So does A Man Apart, an artistic album with innovative production and features from some of Detroit's best artists, a list to which J. Clear can add his name. As an artist who tries to see the good in every situation, J. Clear sees only good coming his way.
"I used to want to be the greatest rapper. I don't want that anymore. I want to be a good businessman in this industry who also makes good music. The future? It looks bright."
JClear is truly the first of his breed; there hasn't been a rapper with the attributes that JClear possess. Lyrically versatile enough to scratch the temples of any faithful backpack sportin' hip hop purist than flip it, and supply the commercial feens with something catchy & clever. JClear can suave it up for the ladies, (as we all know) and keep it street with the best of 'em, plus, with all that going for him, he's not bad to look at. To sum it up, JClear is one of the most well rounded artist to ever hit the scene. The bravery to drop an album, totally opposite of what's Hot right now, J is the quencher for those thirsty for something new & quality.
