Jeriq Tells Apple Music About His Musical Journey

I started music when I was in [the] Catholic church. I was among the choir, so that was when I got into contact with music for the first time. My dad always played Emeka Morocco’s music, so it was a combination of church and the music I was hearing growing up. When I was done with school—that was 2015—I jumped into the studio and recorded a track. I’d been writing songs before the, but that was when I recorded and released my first official track.

Jeriq Tells Apple Music About the Inspiration Behind the Music Video for His Track, “Jehovah”

The music video is inspiring and that was what I was trying to achieve. I was trying to inspire the streets, because if you watch the video, you see when I was broke, and I was not ok. It’s just a video of “rags to riches”—that was what the video was [talking] about. It’s time [to] inspire the streets, telling [people] not to give up. As long as you keep hustling, one day it must be your time to shine.

Jeriq Tells Apple Music About His Plans for a Stadium Show

Where I’m from, I’m the voice of the streets—I’m the hometown hero. I love the streets; I’m from the streets, so we connect with each other. If I’m being honest with you, the streets made me. I can’t do anything without the streets, so I’m planning on hosting a stadium show this November, something like then I did previously. I’m taking it bigger.

Jeriq Tells Apple Music about The title track of His New Album, ‘King’

It’s all about celebration and fulfilment for me, because I went through a lot. The album is basically full of stories about my trials, tribulations and triumphs. That track is telling people I’ve finally won, telling my mum, too, that I’ve finally made it. That track is about celebrating, manifesting and confirming that I’m the king of this ‘ting, bro.
