A focus on the pos­it­ive parts of him­self, ‘Bet­ter Me’ is the brand new single to come from young rap­per J. Writ­ten about his per­son­al jour­ney with depres­sion,  ‘Bet­ter Me’ speaks to rid­ding your­self of your demons and being present for your­self. Talk­ing about the jour­ney he has been on, J says “I dealt with depres­sion for 7–8 years. It star­ted when I was 14–15 and I did­n’t feel like I was start­ing to get out of it until I was 21–22 and I’m 24 now. When I real­ized I was start­ing to get out of depres­sion I real­ized that I was not the same per­son as before.” ‘Bet­ter Me’ is J dis­cov­er­ing this new side of him­self. Recor­ded in his bed­room with mod­est equip­ment, ‘Bet­ter Me’ is an example of raw DIY hip hop.
J is rel­at­ively new to music mak­ing. Cit­ing Drake and Kendrick Lamar as his influ­ences, his debut single ‘Life’ was inspired by the Black Lives Mat­ter move­ment. He takes his inspir­a­tion from his per­son­al life and the obser­va­tions he makes in the wider world. His sound is mature and well roun­ded with an hon­est mes­sage to por­tray and tackles big themes such as men­tal health and the stigma sur­round­ing it.
