Yooo it’s been awhile since we’ve got some new heat from the homie JamesCurtis but don’t let that fool you because homie stays working on perfecting his craft and yesterday he surprised us with a new vsual to one of my favorite tracks from him titled “Goodnight Goodnight” that is mad enjoyable. The track itself was pure greatness and getting a visual to match the same caliber is perfection and glad to be sharing it on the site today. It’s always love on our side when it’s comes to James’s music and we’re already working on getting him to San Antonio in December (if he’s free that is) but in the meantime y’all be sure check out his newest video below and run the views up.

JamesCurtis, a young artist out of Houston, feels that he has a lot to prove. With his latest release, "Goodnight, Goodnight" Curtis tells of his big plans to takeover the city and make some moves in the industry. Everybody needs a good dose of flossin in their life and this track is perfect for that. Listen to "Goodnight, Goodnight" below and make sure you keep up with James Curtis to see what he has up his sleeve. Oh. and he produced the track too. - Hustlegrade

After supplying the good people with two back to back heaters, James Curtis decided just to add two more to the bunch & called it an EP titled "Blind Colors" which all tracks are produced by Chris Rockaway & man I couldn't ask for more, dude gave us two really great tracks & to bless us with two more is like an extra gift best believe this EP is gonna get mad plays personally from us here at the WAVEZ & get familiar with James Curtis's music now guarantee dude gonna be making some noise in the industry real soon (salute) - Wavez Movement

We were blessed with not just one but two great fucking tracks from James Curtis (wooo this post doesn't match my level excitement) these tracks have been in heavy rotations since he sent them to us & I apologizes from the set back of this post it was done in timely fashion but aye I didn't think it gave off the real ness if how felt about these track...so first off shoutout to Chris Rockaway for Rocking Away these beats on these two tracks (see what I did there) man definitely set it off and then James Curtis comes in like a hurricane he is just to demolish them into pure greatness man please check out the tracks below guarantee you won't be disappointed (salute) - Wavez Movement

HOUSTON, TX – Energy. So much energy that it bursts from you in waves that inspire others.



JamesCurtis is full of that energy, and he wants to pass it along to fans all over the world through his music. The hot young artist from Houston, Texas, is rising in popularity with his energetic sound, and his new EP “SUPA” is the most recent example of how his music is inspiring others to embrace their individuality. He said it stands for Success, Unity, Positivity and Awesomeness.



“I created something awhile back that I put on social media and it received so much love that I kept responding to people with the word ‘SUPA’ over and over again,” Curtis said. “For me it’s a word that its filled with so much love and energy – it’s a word that shows how I channel my inner self and make it into something powerful that I can share with other people. It’s a word that says freedom and energy and being yourself. And that’s exactly what this EP is about – having fun and being free with the music.”



The first single from the EP is “Hypecrite,” and features fellow Houston artist Why Jae. The song is something Curtis admits is egotistical, but he considers it a statement to the rest of the rap community that he’s here and he’s ready to make his mark on the industry.



Curtis has been rapping professionally for almost two years, though he’s had a love for music for as long as he can remember. He said his mom often tells the story of how he would run downstairs every time he heard the theme song to “The Young and the Restless” just so that he could enjoy the music, and then run back up the stairs once the song was done.



“That just goes to show you that my love of music goes far back,” he said. “From the time I was a little kid to playing trombone in middle school, to starting to freestyle and even write my own lyrics in high school – I’ve always loved music. There’s a lot of freestyling in Houston, and it wasn’t until I put one of my songs on Facebook and people started getting really positive about it that I thought I should pursue music as a career.”



Curtis said most of his music is born of personal experience, and more often than not takes a more serious tone. He said he writes from experiences associated with watching his single mother raise three children on her own.



“To see her struggle and for her to still be able to do what she has done has been inspirational and motivational for me,” he said. “To this day I see her struggle from time to time, but she doesn’t let it get her down. She has a bigger goal and she keeps pushing. It motivates me as an artist to go harder, and when there’s a struggle to keep going. And I want to pass that along to people who listen to my music. I want to stimulate the mind and make you think. I want you to know that you’re not the only one going through what you’re going through. Music is an outlet for a lot of people and it helps a lot of people get over whatever it is they have to get over. I want to be that person who can help the world out and show them that they’re not alone – we can do it together.”



Curtis’ EP “SUPA” is scheduled to be released Sept. 15. In addition to the new EP and single, he’ll be headlining a show Sept. 29 at NotsuoH in Houston called “Where Hype Meets Talent.” Fans can listen to his music on his website ImJamesCurtis.com, on Soundcloud, or see his music videos on YouTube. He’s also active on social media on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Curtis is also looking for a team to help propel his career, and is welcoming all graphic designers, promoters, managers and any other music industry insiders who might have an interest in joining his rising career to contact him via email at imjamescurtis@gmail.com. - hhrfd.com
