Pulling inspiration from a wide range of musical styles, he has something in his bag for everyone. He's started off 2022 with a bang, opening up for EARTHGANG and Mike Dimes on the BIODEGHETTABLE tour as the Pigeons & Planes select artist, and dropping a handful of singles that have earned him a place on This Song Is Sick's "Independent Rappers You Should Know", and attention from outlets such as Daily Chiefers, Modrnation, Show & Tell, ShrekKnowsRap, and more. This year is setting up to be a big one for the Alternative Hip-Hop artist, with whispers of a sophomore mixtape on the horizon that will continue to establish him as people's new favorite artist. The only thing you can expect out of ChuckTheSpittah is the unexpected. Born Charles Watkins, the Baltimore-bred artist has been perfecting his craft since the age of 13. Citing inspiration from hip hop stars Tyler, the Creator, Lil Wayne, and A$AP Rocky, Chuck absorbs every corner of the culture around him to carefully construct his own brand of organized chaos. Receiving initial recognition for his aggressive, textured flows and bombastic energy, Chuck received early comparisons to his contemporaries due to the maturity and seasoned nature of his delivery. However, Chuck has since taken these comparisons as a cue to prove his versatility, launching his music career into a multitude of different directions. ChuckTheSpittah released his debut project “LIVE A LITTLE MORE” in 2020, followed in 2021 by the boisterous and multidimensional “WHERE? NOT AGAIN.” With these albums, Chuck combines off-the-wall bangers with lovestruck melodies to expand his soundscapes and storytelling abilities in a more vulnerable and eclectic direction than ever before. Now in 2022, Chuck is coming off his most experimental and genre-defying release to date, “my GOD.” Chuck compliments otherworldly, climactic instrumentals with a raging, combative flow on explosive tracks like “PENDULUM” and “GAMEBOY.” With an ambition to innovate and an affinity for the uncharted, ChuckTheSpittah has put himself on the path to become one of the most influential artists of the next generation. TYGKO (“tee-why-jee-kay-oh”) is a Cleveland-born, Chicago-based rapper, songwriter, and performer taking the music world by storm. With feature placements with major names like Quiet Bison and Moore Kismet, selling out most every small room in Chicago, and scoring a recent guest spot at Lollapalooza this year, TYGKO is one to watch. Combining backpack rhymes with a seasoned ear for tone and groove, JR SPECS creates vibrant, earnest music about highs and lows. 
 Since his first demo in the seventh grade, 23-year-old JR has created plenty of moments. After gathering a small cult following by word of mouth, JR began to garner attention at UConn through various shows (including a spot opening for Phony Ppl ). His fan favorite mixtape , a self-produced tape YELLO about a young man's struggle to hold onto joy, made a splash on campus in 2019.
 After the success of two explosive singles in TURF and BABY KNOCK ME DOWN , featuring fellow Maine artists Spose and B. Aull , JR dropped his autobiographical 2020 mixtape '99 DAYDREAM , the story of reluctantly leaving a carefree childhood behind.
 In 2021, JR graduated and dropped his , a 3-pack of upbeat jams perfect for college life.
 In 2022, JR is dropping a shit ton of music. I typically struggle with talking about myself, all i can say with certainty is that I’m a young soul in a kind of young man’s body and I got alot to say and do. I’m on a path of self actualization and I want to help others do the same, and at the current time that will be through the medium of music. The only thing I am completely certain of, is that I’m doing this because i know it’s my purpose and I will not be ashamed to be my true self any longer; and neither should you. 
 yea. That’s the bio.
