In this episode of The Talk Nola, I sit down with Louisiana native Justjocin — also known as $igh, the artist-producer behind the “Progressive Trap” wave. From his small-town upbringing in Edgard, Louisiana, to finding his voice between choir roots and trap influence, this conversation dives deep into how home, hustle, and self-expression collide.

We talk about balancing ambition with authenticity, building sound from scratch, and what it really takes to stay grounded in the fast-moving world of social media and virality. Justjocin opens up about his creative process, his hit “MY PHONE JUST FELL!!!”, and the meaning behind his new project Rent Due — a statement on pressure, purpose, and paying your dues in life and art.

Tune in for an hour of reflection, laughter, and raw insight into one of Louisiana’s most promising young voices.
