I Am Me

Released in June 2019, 'I Am Me' serves as a definitive statement of identity for BlocBoy JB following his meteoric rise via viral hits and high-profile collaborations. The album doubles down on the signature Memphis sound: minimalist production, heavy reliance on minor-key piano motifs, and prominent 808 percussion. Spanning 13 tracks, the project is notably lean, with most songs clocking in under three minutes, emphasizing a 'hit-and-run' stylistic approach that favors immediate impact over complex song structures. While it features the high-energy club-ready tracks JB is known for, it also attempts to peel back layers of his persona, as suggested by the title. Critically, the album was viewed as a solid, if predictable, continuation of his established aesthetic, proving his ability to carry a full-length project without relying solely on massive features. It remains a key document of the late-2010s Memphis trap explosion.
