Jermaine Abdual, formerly known as Murj HOSS, is an artist, writer, storyteller, and creative whose work lives at the intersection of faith, culture, and real life, using music and words to make sense of the journey and create space for others to do the same.His creative work has never fit neatly into one category. From lyrics and books to conversations, he creates spaces where people can wrestle with life honestly and still find room for grace.His latest mixtape, Boom Bap + Breakthrough, culminates a six-year creative journey that began in 2020. What started as an attempt to create a soundtrack for his memoir eventually became its own story, a collection of songs born from reflection, individuality, and ultimately forgiveness.Produced by Marques Murrey, the 12-track project returns Jermaine to the boom-bap roots that first shaped him while documenting the personal breakthrough that came from finally letting go.For Jermaine, this project isn't about having all the answers. It's about telling the truth, making peace with the past, and becoming free enough to be who you've always been.

His forthcoming sonic memoir, Boom Bap + Breakthrough, closes out the trilogy with a return to his first love: music.
