0Jerzey Julz – Artist, Radio Host, and Former Air Force Firefighter
Jerzey Julz is an artist, radio host, and former Air Force firefighter making waves in the music scene with his latest single “Til the Casket Drop.” He sat down with The Hype Magazine to talk about his inspirations, his Jersey roots, and balancing his many talents.
Your latest single has been making waves. Can you tell us what inspired the track and what message you hope listeners take away from it?
Jerzey Julz: My single “Til the Casket Drop” is a certified HIT! I wanted to create a song that made people want to dance and live life. I’m from Jersey, and we love club music, so it was only right that I tapped into my Jersey roots and showed love to the Jersey culture as well.
How does this single differ from your previous releases in terms of style and sound?
Jerzey Julz: I’ve never really tapped into the Jersey club sound before, but I always knew I could because I’m very versatile musically. I didn’t want to force a track, so I let the track come to me—and it finally came with “Til The Casket Drop.”
What was the creative process like for this song? Were there any challenges you faced while recording it?
Jerzey Julz: I was in an “I feel good” moment at the time. When I was presented with the beat, I just went with it and created the energy. It was all about catching the right vibe.
Do you have any upcoming collaborations or projects tied to this new single that fans should be excited about?
Jerzey Julz: Definitely! I have a hit single I’m featured on with G6 called “Speed Off,” which is out now on all platforms with his new album “Wilson Place 2”. The video is set to premiere on 11/22/2024. This record is going to shake the Hip Hop world, like how Pop Smoke’s “Dior” hit. Watch out for it!
There’s been a lot of buzz around the P Diddy scandal lately. What are your thoughts on the situation, and how do you feel it impacts the music industry?
Jerzey Julz: I’m not going to pretend that I know Diddy because I’m relatively new on the major scene, but the allegations he’s facing are VERY serious. I personally don’t condone the actions or behaviors he’s accused of. My prayers go out to all the victims and families affected by this situation.
You’ve built a successful radio show alongside your music career. What has been the most rewarding part of connecting with listeners in this way?
Jerzey Julz: The most rewarding part is the whole process of creating a radio station, hosting a show, and learning along the way. I’m always a student of the game, and I love being able to share knowledge and learn from others. Radio allows me to do all that while still being myself
How do you balance your music career with your radio show? Are there ever any challenges in managing both?
Jerzey Julz: The hardest part is finding the time to do it all, but my determination fuels me. Doing radio enhances my music career because I control the playlist. When people want to know more about me as a radio host, they naturally discover my music too—it all works together.
Given your 12+ years of military service, what are your thoughts on the current situation between Iran and Israel? Do you think your experience gives you a unique perspective on the conflict?
Jerzey Julz: Yeah, man! I served 13 years in the Air Force as a firefighter. I think the current situation boils down to world politics—the want for power and control. Both countries want to be respected, and resources might play a part too. It’s a serious situation that deserves closer attention because other countries involved could pose a danger to us all.
How does your time in the military influence your music and the way you approach difficult topics in your work?
Jerzey Julz: My military experience helped me see other points of view and experience things most people don’t. I combine that with my life experiences to stay well-rounded. Music, military, firefighting—it’s all who I am. I’ll never box myself in. They always say, “You can do whatever you put your mind to,” and I’m proof of that.
Stay tuned for the premiere of “Speed Off” and catch more from Jerzey Julz on his radio show. His story is one of determination, versatility, and a true love for music and culture.
