Ranked in "10 More of the Best Rappers in OC." A 2019 profile followed his move to more introspective music.
OC Weekly · Mar 19, 2014From the mic to the media company.
The mic
Before Juice Unlocked was a channel, "Juice" was a crew. Matt Allenn, rapping as M.A., came up in Juice County Allstars, an OC four-piece whose 2009 project was We Got The Juice Vol. 1.
By 2014 OC Weekly had him at #7 on "10 More of the Best Rappers in OC."
The record
His music grew up with him. FLOURIISH (2018) turned inward, and his song "Messy" was placed in Netflix's #REALITYHIGH.
Then came "Undefeated," with visuals by GorillaFlix, and releases on his own label, Juice Unlocked Recordz.
The media company
In 2019 Juice Unlocked went live. What started as a home for OC hip-hop became the county's own news desk and culture channel: breaking news, city hall, long sit-downs, MIC DROP performances and live shows on YouTube and IG.
Today 79K people follow it on Instagram, and local outlets like New Santa Ana cite its reels as a source.
