Released at the start of this month, “All I Need Forever” by J Young MDK has been gaining a tonne of traction and reaching milestones for both the single and the music video which truly allows this rising artist to make a mark on the music industry. This release is the follow-up to his feature on Solomon’s single “Bounce“.
J Young MDK, real name Jermaine Carter, is a singer-songwriter, rapper, actor, director, and producer, from Atlanta. There’s nothing this hard-working human being can’t do, and he started in music as a teen, winning a competitive freestyle radio contest. He is mentored by none other than Jamie Foxx, so it’s no surprise that J Young MDK is the rising star that he is. He’s released a total of four studio albums “Now Or Never” (2019), “Aqua” (2020), “Black” (2020), and “White” (2020). He refused to let the pandemic prevent him from performing, deciding to find safe venues around the country that would allow him to showcase his music live on stage. His passion for his music led him to support Latto across the US on her 2022 777 Monster Energy Outbreak Tour. He will release his fifth studio album, “Forever Young”, very soon. As for acting, he’s starred in Netflix’s “The App That Stole Christmas”, Apple’s “Feds Did a Sweep”, the Tupac biopic “All Eyez On Me”, and the upcoming film “Lola 2”; his first lead role was in the short independent film “Mixed Girl” and he also starred as Young Icey in VH-1’s “Hip Hop Family Christmas Wedding” alongside the likes of Ne-Yo, Keri Hilson, Tamar Braxton, Redman, Terrence Jenkins, Shad “Bow Wow” Moss, Serayah, and Jermaine Dupri. He also recently dropped a single alongside Jamie Foxx, Snoop Dogg, BSB Boys, and Sam Pounds for Netflix’s “Dayshift” film, titled “BUD (Mowing Down Vamps)”. On top of all that, he’s the Official Ambassador for the American Diabetes Association and has partnered with Out of Dark (Suicide Prevention) his goal is to empower and reach 10k teens and young adults by the end of 2023. If anything, all this proves that J Young MDK is hard working and certainly does not stop, especially with his highly anticipated fifth studio album on its way, alongside upcoming music videos and films.
His most recently released single, “All I Need Forever”, has quickly gained a variety of achievements already, most of which are incredible on their own, but when you factor in that J Young MDK is in-fact an independent artist, and so he’s hitting these huge milestones that even artists who are signed to major record labels don’t even achieve, that just puts him on an even higher pedestal, and one he totally deserves to be on.
