JR: I’m running a small label called Righteous Words Records. We do magic and music together. When I perform my music, I also do magic tricks.
U.G. Digital Mag: You mention the blending of magic and music. For hip-hop, that’s new. When people hear it at first, they scrunch a little bit because they’ve never seen it. Tell us more?
JR: How I blend it in so well is even in videos, we add certain effects that no one else is doing. Even in performances, we do illusions, levitations, and things that make us stand out.
U.G. Digital Mag: I think it’s dope. I’ve always been into that sort of thing when we speak of magic.
