I am a fan of any real female MC that is NOT defined solely by their sexuality or their raunchy or over the top lyrics, but as an extension of their talent. From what I have heard from Jemiini she is that MC. From a troubled past to a very promising future, she is the epitome of rags to riches. The 23-year old rapper from Royal Palm Beach, Fl. is what the game's been missing. The #TeamJemiini movement is growing rapidly and it is only a matter of time before she takes the movement mainstream. And Now... The Interview.
The music industry is a hard business to get into especially for females, and your journey so far has definitely been a rough one. What is the biggest obstacle you have had to overcome so far?
Myself. I don't fear the competition, I embrace challenges, and have a passion for what I do, but I am my own worst critic, and at all time lows, find it hard sometimes to self motivate.
Who inspires you most in life, musically and artistically?
I'm inspired most by artists that go against expectations. Artists like Machine Gun Kelly, Lauryn Hill, Bruno Mars, Gwen Stefani, Missy Elliot, and so many others. Those who stay grounded in their success, and originality.
Who are the type 5 artists in your current playlist?
Lauryn Hill, Rihanna, Aaliyah, Skrillex, & Lil Wayne
What do you think of the industry as it stands currently for female MCs?
Tainted. I think it has become materialistic. It needs to wake up and remind the world that women are capable of more than twerking and dressing up.
How large a roll does your right hand woman and best friend Recklezz play in your success?
Huge! Reck is my backbone, my tempo, my reflection, my muscle. Without Recklezz, there is no movement. Period.
What can we expect from Jemiini in the next couple of years? Are there any projects currently in the works?
Movement! A lot of traveling. More fans! More videos! More songs! More performances! I WILL have a deal sometime within the next 2 years! Period.
What separates Jemiini from the rest of the female MC's in the game?
You would have to ask my supporters about that <--- That's what makes me different.
If rap wasn't an option what would you want to do?
I would love to act. Life is a movie to me. Every day is just another chance to create a new character. That's my genuine mentality. If I could make that a career? Forget it. (Its def on my goal list)
When did you decide that you wanted to be a rapper?
Honestly. I decided I wanted to be a rapper when I was a kid. I've been writing and rapping since I was 9 years old, but was content with the street fame and recording in between mattresses in closets. As I got older my dreams faded in society and I had other plans for my life, I wanted to join the military. I tried, and I was denied from 3 branches because of my heart murmur. So... after years of people telling me that I "had something", and all I was missing was dedication, I told myself I would TRY to take my music serious one time! I told myself I would give 110% like they said I should, and see where it went... and well... months later... here we are. Sometimes we don't understand why things happen until they've happened.
What would you say to the younger females trying to or thinking about getting into rap?
DO IT! and whatever else your heart desires! Follow your dreams and listen to that voice in your head that tells you you're meant for more, and go! My saying is "The only difference between a story of success and a story of failure is the last chapter". If life is guaranteed struggles, why not struggle doing something you love and believe in?
