Native Malay artist "ahmadjohnson69", AJ for short, started rapping at the age of 16 when he first posted freestyles on Instagram. The young artist's first freestyle gained over 50,000 views within the first 24 hours on his page after his comedic lyrics and distinctive flows moulded the attention of many across the region.
Frabricated through an impetuous persona allied with his idiosyncratic social media presence, the Singaporean-breed rising star made his mark on the public's eyes by opening for top regional acts in 2019. From there, gig-goers realised that AJ is not just a young boy with interesting brave lyrics, but also a cunning performer. On the precipice of stardom, he executes his artistry through producing his own music with debut tape released independently on digital platforms, "John Star", which managed to gain recognition through editorial playlists like Border Beats and Pop Terkini.
Through his controversial release of "BABY JOHNSON", built around an immense rollout with features from HipHopDXAsia and local tabloid news organisation BoomMalaysia, fervidity got more evident with listeners around the region anticipating on what the contentious figure has up his sleeves.
Evidently defeating odds with his latest seamless album "Kejut Aku Ok Aku Dah Bangun", the conspicuous artist managed to turn his Instagram viewers from his viral videos into a cult following with his nonchalant music videos and heated projects.
