Jeiko Bradford is a rapper from California who makes music with a message. As an artist, he seeks to connect, uplift, and inspire listeners with his hard hitting rap rhymes. "I was a loner as a kid, and I came from an abusive home, so whenever things got turbulent in the household, I would always immerse myself into my music." On that note, he recently dropped a new single that I thought would be laid back (like most folks from Cali I know), but on the song, he draws energy from his core as gets hyped up with every beat. It's original and unexpected. I loved it. Entitled, Youngblood, its a complex, introspective backpack-rap style track. He sonically channels Kendrick Lamar as his lyrics are juxtaposed in a battle against sophistication and ignorance.
"I come hard on the beat like I busted a nut..."
Jeiko (pronounced jay’co) "grew up in the hood," he says. But luckily the 28 year old was “scared” away from thug life by his step dad. Coming up, it was hard for the rapper in Sacramento having family members who were active gang bangers. But there's more to Jeiko Bradford than meets the eye (or ear). "I was someone who got good grades in school, mostly A’s and B’s," he explained. "And despite my “tough guy” image, the rapper says, he's "a really big nerd." Musically, his sound and style have been influenced by Logic, Kendrick Lamar, Joe Budden, Immortal Technique, Jay Z, Eminem, Nas, Drake, Kanye West and Big L.SOCIAL + STREAMING
