Could OC rapper JSprings (@yaboyjdizzle) be next up? Juice Unlocked wants your verdict

A 55-second excerpt from a music video, played under a Juice Unlocked banner reading "Orange County's JSprings could be next up!?" The night footage has a VHS/camcorder look with glitch and light-streak effects: the rapper performs in a red jacket and dark head wrap by a fence and bare trees, intercut with a group dancing in front of a city skyline, friends in a car lit purple and pink, a woman holding a red cup and black-and-white party shots. The audio is the song itself; the automatic transcript picked up only wordless "oh" vocals, so nothing is quoted.

Juice Unlocked put an Orange County rapper in the spotlight on Sept. 22, sharing a 55-second music video clip from the artist tagged as @yaboyjdizzle on Instagram. The post's cover graphic bills him as JSprings.

The question was straight to the point: could this OC artist be next up? Followers were asked to weigh in.

The visual

The clip is shot at night and cut with a gritty, lo-fi look: glitchy color, VHS-style distortion, light-streak effects and a camcorder-style timestamp on screen.

The rapper appears in a red jacket and dark head wrap in front of a metal fence and bare tree branches. Other scenes show a crew moving in front of a lit-up city skyline and friends partying, including shots inside a car under purple and pink light and black-and-white party footage.
