It wasn’t until high school that Jhitt began to take music seriously. At 15, he started writing and recording songs about the violence and betrayal he saw in Palm Beach. One of his early songs, “Water Over Blood,” became a local hit, introducing listeners to Jhitt’s melodic delivery and heartfelt lyrics. “Whatever I was going through I just wrote about it and I still do,” he says. “Let’s say I get into and go through hard times with my family, I’ll write about it.”
In response to his growing local fame, Jhitt kept applying pressure, releasing three mixtapes in a year’s time. Last February, he released two songs — “Martin & Gina” and “Violent” — which have both surpassed three million plays on SoundCloud. They present two different sides of WestsideJhitt: “Martin & Gina” is a self-produced ballad, built around a piano melody that Jhitt would play in church growing up, while “Violent” is a melodic take on the dark side of street life. These releases showcased Jhitt’s unlimited potential, catapulting him to wider recognition and earning him a deal with 10K Projects.
As Jhitt prepares to release his debut project — which he says will deal with “a whole lotta beefing, whole lotta heartbreak, and a lotta pain” — he’s staying focused on what matters most. With more eyes and ears trained his way, he’s working towards a future for more than just himself. “What you dream of and what you want could be right around the corner. Could be the next day or next year but it’s gon’ come.”
