When a Minnesota rapper decided to quickly record an open verse challenge on TikTok before bed, he never imagined it would lead to performing with Logic in front of 20,000 people just days later. But that's exactly what happened to  ⁨@jaezole8850⁩ , whose raw talent and authentic style caught the attention of one of hip-hop's most respected artists.

In this candid conversation, Jae takes us through the surreal experience of receiving that life-changing call from Logic himself, being flown to Miami, and stepping onto a massive stage having only performed for crowds of 50 people before. "I pretty much blacked out," Jae admits about the moment he hit the stage, though he notes performing for thousands paradoxically felt easier than intimate shows where "you see everyone's reaction."

The conversation ventures beyond that pivotal moment to explore how Jae's music landed on the Madden 24 soundtrack alongside industry titans like Jack Harlow and Polo G. Despite these impressive achievements, what truly moves Jae isn't fame or fortune, but the impact his music has on listeners. "Some of your music saved my life," a fan once told him—a moment Jae describes as "worth more than any dollar amount."

Perhaps most refreshing is Jae's grounded approach to the music industry. While pursuing his passion, he's simultaneously studying physical therapy, creating multiple paths forward rather than placing all his hopes on musical success. His advice to aspiring artists? "You just gotta not give a f*** what anyone thinks of you... You're alive one time, why would you not do what you love out of fear of what other people are gonna think?"

Whether you're a music creator, fan, or someone pursuing your own creative dreams, Jae Zole's story reminds us that sometimes the biggest opportunities come when you least expect them—but only if you've put in the work to be ready when they arrive.
