We are back with another episode of the Garden State Hip Hop Hour. Today we are joined by Orange native Juice Potter. Our host Rich Zeller digs deep into this artist’s unique persona.
Juice tells us that he is from Orange, New Jersey, but that Juice Potter is from Miami. We learned that there are two Juices, there is Juice, and there is Juice Potter. Juice Potter is the performer. He puts in the work, the studio time, and he’s the one on stage. He tells us that once the glasses go on, people know it’s time for Juice Potter. He gives us some background, explaining that he became Juice in 2013, a name that was given to him due to his association with lean. Potter came in 2017, after putting on a pair of the popular Harry Potter circular-rim glasses, in a gold finish of course.
He delves into his rapping journey, telling Rich that his music career began four years ago, “I saw that I had some talent and I just started falling in love with this shit, the process the studio the putting the work in…” the passion is clear in his voice. He tells us everything from the early doubts, to transitioning to the point where the studio feels like home. In these short four years, Juice has had some success, he opened up for A Boogie at Sherman Theater, his last project hit 100 thousand streams, and his music has reached seven different countries. He tells Rich, “I’m doing this shit to be remembered,” and the way he’s talking, we believe him.
Juice proves to be a well-rounded artist; he has his own clothing brand, Huskies Clothing, has his own juice named Sunset Tea, and told us he has a true passion for screenwriting. The rapper even has a pilot for a sitcom.
He talks us through his latest project, Project Potter, which released on October 21st. He gives us details about the creative process for this album, from inspiration to how long it took to put together. For this project, he put together the Sauce Challenge, a cash prize to whoever submits the best video listening to Sauce off his Project Potter album. He also gives us the inside scoop on another project he has in the works. Follow him on Instagram to stay up to date with his latest work and submit a video for the Sauce challenge.
