Ian J

**Ian J** is a Florida-based underground hip-hop artist known for his raw lyricism and knack for blending introspective storytelling with gritty Southern beats. Emerging from the DIY scene around 2016, he’s built a loyal following with projects like *Winter in Florida* and *Still Breathing*, which showcase his candid reflections on life’s struggles, personal growth, and the grind of independent artistry. Tracks like “This Life” and “Money Moicano” highlight his ability to pair laidback flows with punchy production, often collaborating with producers like Mike Squires to craft his signature lo-fi-meets-trap sound. While he keeps details about his personal life low-key, his music—released through his imprint Still Breathing Records—speaks volumes, resonating with fans who vibe with his unfiltered authenticity and blue-collar hustle.
