Jamaican born and raised, Aaron Williams aka Artikyoul8 (Ar-tik-you-late), first began doing music in the
90s while living in Jamaica. In the early 2000s, Artikyoul8 started taking music seriously which resulted
in his music being played in heavy rotation on a number of the top radio stations throughout the island of
Jamaica.
He migrated to the US where he continued his musical journey, completing 2 albums and 2 mixtapes
under his former stage name Dj Aaron. After taking a 7-year break from music Artikyoul8 is back with the
same witty lyrics and catchy hooks presented from a more mature mindset.
February 2019 marked his return, and Artikyoul8 has released several songs including “Pressure,” “Money,” “Summa” and hit single “Bubble” (a freestyle done to Wiley’s “Boasty” instrumental). The freestyle
was picked up by Hot 93.7 FM in Connecticut and played in heavy rotation by DJ Buck, DJ Craig G, DJ Mello
(UK), DJ Intense and many others. Though the freestyle is only one minute and eleven seconds, the lyrics
provoke thought when the artist raps “global warming real / so earth bubble to dih ground / pot ah cook /
so dih rice bubble to dih ground / everybody fake / so friendships bubble to dih ground ….”
In July 2020 Artikyoul8 released a 7 track EP entitled ‘I Am Articulate’ which features hit single ‘Pretty Penny’
Music available on all major streaming outlets.
