It\u2019s the connective tissue that gives you and those around you a sense of who you are, and your place in the world. As an artist, the overarching goal is to cultivate a trusted name and brand that symbolizes cultural value and significance to the masses. Over the last decade, the artist <strong>FKA<\/strong> as <strong>Problem<\/strong> has achieved that and then some. The multi-hyphenate has reached great heights as an artist, producer, film director, business owner (Dubbs Coffee Shop in Hollywood), entrepreneur (his Coffee &amp; Kush Brand), and as a fledging actor (you can catch him in the <strong>White Men Can\u2019t Jump Reboot <\/strong>on 5-19-23).<\/p>\n<p>But as the old adage goes <em>\u201cthere is nothing permanent except change,\u201d<\/em> and change can be healthy. As we grow it spurs new thoughts, new ideas, and new directions. When you reach that ideological crossroads as a branded artist, you are faced with two choices; stay the course or reinvention. Some take the road less traveled, and pave their own path; exit Problem, welcome <strong>JasonMartin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt was time. Your name is everything when it comes to this business. Calling myself Problem at this stage of my life just felt irresponsible and counterproductive; especially when my whole existence has been built off creating solutions for others\u201d<\/em> JasonMartin affirms. <em>\u201cI also felt that continuing my career using the name my parents gave me was bigger for the extension of my family tree. Thank you 2 Chainz for giving me that extra push to do it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To coincide with the name change, <strong>JasonMartin<\/strong> is also announcing a new album titled album, <em>I Owe Myself,<\/em> which will be released on 5-12-23, and a prelude single, \u201c<em>Family<\/em> <em>Tree<\/em>\u201d,\u2019 which is produced by <strong>Harry Fraud<\/strong>. \u201c<em>Family Tree<\/em>\u201d is now available at all DSP\u2019s.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cFamily Tree\u201d is a capsule piece. The last 2-3 years, I\u2019ve dealt with more losses than ever. Best friends and family members have passed away at a rapid pace. Restructuring my life and business all while going through the pain that comes with death has undeniably taken its toll\u201d Jason concedes. \u201cFamily Tree\u201d represents perseverance. You can\u2019t give up when you\u2019re living for things bigger than yourself. You have to keep going! Musically, I was able to reconnect with a great friend. Harry has been one of the most genuine creators I\u2019ve met on my journey. It was an honor to work with him on this song.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While \u201c<em>Family Tree<\/em>\u201d gives fans an early insight into the new artistic path <strong>JasonMartin<\/strong> is now on, he wants to keep things close to the vest.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI Owe Myself is far different from any other project I\u2019ve ever released in my career. All the music was created by a new collective of musicians (<strong>The<\/strong> <strong>Melodikz<\/strong>). I don\u2019t want to give to much away, but I am super proud of it<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>JasonMartin\u2019s<\/strong> new album <em>I Owe Myself<\/em> will be released on 5-12-23.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">You can now purchase, add and favorite <em>\u201cFamily Tree\u201d<\/em> at your preferred DSP: https:\/\/orcd.co\/familytree<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"181735\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/jasonmartin-fka-problem-family-tree\/jasonmartin-family-tree-digital-cover-art\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/JasonMartin-Family-Tree-Digital-Cover-Art.jpg?fit=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,600\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"JasonMartin Family Tree Digital Cover Art\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/JasonMartin-Family-Tree-Digital-Cover-Art.jpg?fit=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-181735\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/JasonMartin-Family-Tree-Digital-Cover-Art.jpg?resize=540%2C540&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/JasonMartin-Family-Tree-Digital-Cover-Art.jpg?resize=540%2C540&amp;ssl=1 540w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/JasonMartin-Family-Tree-Digital-Cover-Art.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/JasonMartin-Family-Tree-Digital-Cover-Art.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New name, who dis\u2026 In life, your name is your brand.
