New name, who dis…
In life, your name is your brand.
It’s the connective tissue that gives you and those around you a sense
of who you are, and your place in the world.
As an artist, the overarching goal is to cultivate a trusted name and
brand that symbolizes cultural value and significance to the masses. Over the last decade, the artist FKA as Problem
has achieved that and then some. The
multi-hyphenate has reached great heights as an artist, producer, film
director, business owner (Dubbs Coffee Shop in Hollywood), entrepreneur (his
Coffee & Kush Brand), and as a fledging actor (he recently appeared in the
White Men Can’t Jump Reboot).
But
as the old adage goes “there is nothing permanent except change,” and change
can be healthy. As we grow it spurs new
thoughts, new ideas, and new directions.
When you reach that ideological crossroads as a branded artist, you are
faced with two choices; stay the course or reinvention. Some take the road less traveled, and pave
their own path; exit Problem, welcome JasonMartin.
“It
was time. Your name is everything when
it comes to this business. Calling
myself Problem at this stage of my life just felt irresponsible and
counterproductive; especially when my whole existence has been built off
creating solutions for others” JasonMartin affirms. “I also felt that continuing my career using
the name my parents gave me was bigger for the extension of my family tree.”
To
coincide with the name change, JasonMartin released his new album, I Owe
Myself, which is now available. “I Owe
Myself is by far my most international piece of work” JasonMartin
asserts. “Every word, every message,
every instrument was on purpose. Nothing
about this project reeks of randomness.”
TDE’s Punch is just as enthusiastic with his praise of I Owe
Myself ““I had the
opportunity to listen to this album the other night. Phenomenal music. Problem has always been an elite MC, but the
growth and truth in this body of work is truly inspiring. Great work champion.”
I
Owe Myself is produced in its
entirety by The Melodiks and features guest appearances from Terrace Martin,
Rei The Imperial, Nate Curry, and MRCL among others.
To
coincide with his new album, Jason also released a new visual for “Rugged
Roads,” which features MRCL. You can
watch the new video below.
JasonMartin’s I Owe Myself is now
available.
