Native Chicagoan Jarred A.G. recently dropped the first track off of his debut Luxury Tax titled “Play Around“. Featuring Dally Auston, the laid-back, snare snapping production comes from his younger brother Smoko Ono. The track acts as a great representation of A.G.’s spot in Chicago hip hop right now. Working with other up-and-comers, he has positioned himself as an intriguing new artist that’s building a name through quality releases and dope collaborations.
This current positioning is evidence of a strong progression as an artist. No longer do does his material go up because of the potential, rather it is due to the merit of his work and how sharp his new material sounds. Now he is on the verge of dropping his first project to date, a six track EP that is just a taste of what’s to come. When asked about his debut album Stepchild, he told us that he has ” files and files of music that we’ve worked on and are still working on”. What does this mean for fans and listeners? We sat down with the young artist to get a better idea of things to come, the work he’s done in the last year and where he’s at now.
