“Shit Ain't Official (Freestyle)” by KI Back At It, Hot New Artist 2018, Jersey We Lit Records

Hot new music and artist coming soon! Stream album Destroy and Rebuild NJ 8/18. Vocal and video services coming soon to all! Start marketing your career the proper way.

My name is Alterik Finney, stage name "KI Back At It." I'm currently owner and CEO of "Jersey We Lit Records." I've been creating concepts and writing music for over the past 10 years now, some for small indie labels and others for independent artists. I've recently decided to start this label and do things the correct way this time around and will be looking to help artists -- mainly "NJ Artists" -- to help market and create commercial music, even performing management work.

I've been working the back scenes learning the paperwork/business, video editing plus filming, online marketing, vocal recording, mixing, mastering and more, and plan on being in full effect by the end of 2018. As Jersey artists, we're known for sounding like others or sounding like street rappers, and it has never gotten us anywhere. My plans, with help from business-minded people, is to be the "Def Jam of New Jersey," opening doors for NJ artists who want to sound different and, like ATL GA, connecting mainstream artists to small indie artists on collaborations.

Upcoming Shows or Promotions:

For my own music, I have an album available for streaming on 8-23-18 on all platforms, titled Destroy & Rebuild NJ. I basically want to create a body of work that's original, but commercial, and that has radio-sounding tunes!

Jersey City native Murdock found a passion and escape in Hip-Hop, Comics, and Theatre from a young age. After graduating with a degree in Theatre he made it his mission to combine his 3 passions and launched his music career with his debut album #AAAH. Murdock uses his Hip-Hop to tell stories to take the listener on a personal journey and leave a lasting effect.

#AAAH (Agoraphobic. Alcoholic. Asshole.) is a concept album partnered with live theatrical performances showcasing Murdock's battle with anxiety and depression. It is meant to create an open dialogue about mental health and help break the negative stigma against it especially in the Hip-Hop Community.

Bringing his love for theatre and music together, Murdock partnered with No Dominion Theatre Co. to put together the album release show for #AAAH. It was an evening composed of a full length live performance of the album along with local visual, musical, and performance artists showcasing their work all while raising money for the ADAA (Anxiety and Depression Association of America). After selling out and raising hundreds of dollars for charity, Murdock is now preparing to bring his intense live sets on the road to continue spreading his message and music.

#AAAH is available now on all streaming/digital services along with physical copies for sale through Murdock's online store.
