Mike Sandusky (@mikesandusky84) is paying homage to fellow underground artists on his 2017 EP “Not on the Radio”. Hailing from Romulus, Michigan-a city just outside Detroit, Mike was inspired by the realities of being an underground artist. “I chose the title “Not On The Radio” because I wanted to pay homage to all my phenomenal fellow underground artist who hit the open mic scene every week,but the only way you’ll hear them is if you show up because their music isn’t on the radio “, he says.


The framework for the project began after the release of lead single “Perfect Imperfections”, for which he teamed up with producer Dinero. With some more solid production from Dinero, Mike Sandusky called on Detroit artist, Jharid to co-write three tracks and arrange the EP. The six track project has a song for everyone, and Sandusky believes everyone can relate to the stories he is sharing.


Currently working on an LP to follow, he continues to make music that makes people feel good, and spread love the best way he knows how--through song.

On-the-verge hiphop artist, J-Dee wants it all to himself. The LawBreaker Ent artist, J-Dee has now positioned himself to drop visuals to his chart-topping anthem titled “Selfish”. 

 On “Selfish” J-Dee shows the special bond that he has with staying fly as he and his bad chic skates across blue waters in a luxury yacht. Listen as J-Dee and Hoodrich Pablo Juan use their boss-like charm and upper echelon flows to connect with the audience as he paints pictures of his hustler's mentality and elevated mind state while catering to the ladies. He talks about giving his girl the world and keeping her all for himself, because he's “Selfish”. The hook is very smooth and repetitive, it will have you singing right along. J-Dee drops 1 of those songs that is just so well written with a beat that is so top-notch that you will have no choice, but to become an instant fan. 

 This is just another day in the life of J-Dee. “Selfish” is a standout from his upcoming “HoodRich Takeover Project”. Next, he's coming for the world... He selfish!!!
