The lyrical monarch gathered his team and headed West to shoot visuals for “Good Friday” the single. The crew compassed downtown, the walk of fame, city lights, and event the streets of Crenshaw for images to coincide with the record. Jigg$ describes “Good Friday” as days he doesn’t resort back to the street, ounces of powder, or loading revolvers. He owns his grown man status and is evolving his deserved shine. It’s evident his only mission is to “turn dreams into fortune.”
Jigg$ doesn’t skip a beat and bar for bar sets flame to his own A-game. This ultimate alliance of rhymes and distinct arrangement of beats classifies “Good Friday” as a classic for the Hip-Hop books. -
Not a single line is wasted in this track and the seasoned emcee is in full form lacing the upbeat jam with a smooth flow and cocky demeanor. His mantra on this song is "…if you ain't getting paid then you getting played…" and continues to let us know he is in this game for the long haul.
The visual directed by The Hit Team Productions help bring the message in the song to life as they showcase various blue-collar workers in their respective fields. John Jigg$ just concluded his first international tour and upon returning to the states fled right back into the studio and is working on new material.

The record defines his growth as an artist and mirrors his mastered skill set and agility to create something new for fans and Hip-Hop.
Jigg$ delivers a track overflowing with substance and relatable realities such as eviction notices, overdue bills, empty refrigerators, and overworked laborers.

Bio
In 2013 Jigg$ debuted his solo album “D.R.U.G.$ (Destined to Reach Undeniable Greatnes$). Without hesitation it gained momentum and Jigg$ received 2 Long Island Music Awards for Mixtape of the Year and Best New Artist. That debut album created notoriety and Jigg$ made an official name for himself in the music industry via media, press, radio, and performances. Delivering lyrics and punchlines with profound subject matter through his commanding voice, Jigg$ went on to debut his second project “D.R.U.G.$ (Destined to Reach Undeniable Greatnes$) Pt2” in 2014. Still gaining positive energy from his debut album, this sophomore project further solidified the buzz and fanfare and Jigg$ growth as an artist was evident. His grind and diligence in the scene resulted in a music investment that continues to headline major music and media outlets world wide including Asia, Sweden, France, and the UK.
In 2015 Jigg$ was eager to release another album titled “#51631”. In demand and under the radar of Infamous Records (Mobb Deep) and 50 Cent Jigg$ immediately headed back to the studio to plot his next big move. He only surfaced to light from the studio for radio appearances such as Sirius XM and show performances with 50 Cent, Camron, Mr. Cheeks, Erick Sermon, Jules Santana, DMX, Granddaddy IU, Black Moon, Special Ed, M.O.P., amongst other acclaimed major artists.
In 2016 Jigg$ released, now highly acclaimed and renowned album, "Twin Cannons." The album produced entirely by Swedish legend K Sluggah, took over the indie Hip Hop arena which led to collaborative moves and business relationships with Granddaddy IU, Lord Finesse, Kid Capri, and Parish Smith (EPMD). Focusing on a continual grind for a global takeover, Jigg$ emerged as CEO of his own label MXMNXPXLY and released an EP with Mxnxpxly group members M.O.U.F & Rockwelz titled "Mxnxpxly Mayhem".
To date, John Jigg$ concluded his first international tour and upon returning to the states fled right back into the studio, not to mention tearing down stages at Hot97 and BLI 106.1 Summer Jam Festivals. He released several singles, featured on numerous records including collaborations with Tuff Kong Record artists and Griselda Records artists. To date Jigg$ released his latest EP "Teflon John". Never stagnant, he's full throttle into a domestic and international radio and concert tour.
