Meet ThatBoyJMike, a rising artist from North Carolina whose journey into the music industry began with an independent label, Right On Point Records. Through the label, he was introduced to a fellow artist already making waves, and that connection gave him the chance to go on tour. This experience provided him with invaluable insight into what it means to be an artist. After two years of honing his craft professionally, ThatBoyJMike is carving out his own space in the industry.
When asked about his musical influences, he points to iconic figures like Jay-Z, Nas, and Andre 3000. Their originality, storytelling abilities, and consistently legendary musical output have left a lasting impact on him. He strives to incorporate those elements into his own work while adding his own unique style and sauce.

ThatBoyJMike’s creative process revolves around finding a vibe. He can’t start a session without his essentials: Tic Tacs, a Celsius drink (or Minute Maid Cranberry Grape if that’s not available), and a roll-up. He picks his beats based on the emotional response they give him rather than finding beat styles that are already trending.Once he’s found a beat that speaks to him, the writing flows from there. His goal is always to think outside the box while staying true to his own style.

His latest single, “Hustlas," is a testament to his dedication. The track is an anthem for everyone grinding, whether it’s in the streets, corporate offices, or any other hustle. The message is clear: as long as you’re getting to the bag, you’re a hustler in his book.
Collaborating with Kidd Kidd was one dope stand out moment in his career so far. He admired Kidd Kidd’s creative process, especially his ability to record songs without writing anything down. It was an experience that added a new perspective to his own artistry.
When it comes to live performances, ThatBoyJMike believes in being well-prepared. Rehearsals are essential, and he makes sure to tailor his setlist to the vibe of the region he’s performing in. He sees live shows as an opportunity to truly connect with fans, giving them a piece of his soul and allowing himself to be vulnerable on stage.
Looking ahead, his main goal is to secure a marketing and distribution deal that will take his music global. He also hopes to create a movement that shines a spotlight on other North Carolina artists. Expanding his reach and giving back to his roots are key objectives for the next few years.
His advice for aspiring musicians, Believe in yourself and never stop pushing forward. Having a "no days off" mentality is crucial, and it’s important not to let negative energy drag you down. Stay focused, work hard, and always be yourself—because the opportunity you don’t take could be the one that changes your life.

Outside of music, ThatBoyJMike enjoys playing basketball, and watching Tubi movies which gives him a mental break from the demands of artist life.
Ultimately, ThatBoyJMike wants to leave a legacy of motivation and inspiration through his music. He hopes his work resonates with hustlers everywhere, whether they’re making moves in the streets or clocking in at a 9-to-5. His mission is to provide music that not only entertains but also uplifts and inspires, creating something memorable that will leave its mark in the history of hip-hop.
As he closes, he leaves us with one final thought: “The Carolina kid is about to change the game.”
