Money..Sex...Girls...that sounds about the average topic of an 18 year old male right? I mean..what else could possibly be on their minds? Like other teen rappers that have came-DIDN'T conquer and gone..(Bow Wow, Soujla Boy, Romeo...Zane..etc) Judicial:(Martin Francis) who hails from the Virgin Islands
sounds like he took the time to research what Hip-Hop actually was before he decided to embark on a career that could make or break him. His very 1st mixtape: First Floor:Vol 1 which is his 1st solo mixtape proves that he has the skill, education and talent to further his career. Songs like "Do My Thing" and "Get It" Part 2 also show the level of his maturity..lines like "I'm Tryna reach the top cuz the bottom is overcrowded" and "What is music without a concept?"...seriously..what IS music without a concept. He gives his audience of ALL ages something to think about, and with him being so young he has room for improvement and is capable to inspire someone of a younger generation..isn't that what REAL hip hop is about? Passing the torch? I digg this dude because after seriously listening to his mixtape..i know he can be something great. He definetley has potential. According to the interview on his myspace..he has his reasons as to why he didn't introduce himself to the rap game earlier...
“Timing is everything. You come out unprepared and this game just like any other will swallow you. So after I jab a few times and figure out my opponent, I don’t want to follow up with another jab; I want to throw consistent haymakers and end with an uppercut"---Get into his metaphors though...
With influences like Jay-Z, LL Cool J, Tupac and Biggie, there is no surprise as to where his rhymes come from, and with the state hip hop has been in...i think we all forgot what "rhymes" are anyway. The song "Addiction" which happens to be my favorite(as well as a lot of his female friends on myspace) gives me a "Houstatlantavegas" vibe (see Drake's So Far Gone Mixtape) but the part of the tape that SOLD me was the Intro..which is perhaps the whole concept of naming his mixtape "First Floor". It is described as him and the "Hometeam"( his streetteam) checking into a hotel called "Hip Hop Hotel" Judicial and his team are asking if they can get a room on the top floor..the receptionist says the top is full, but there is plenty of room the on the bottom..the people at the top tend to fall of due to being unfocused and end up tumbling back to the first floor...in case you havent caught on by now the first floor is where you need to start in order to graduate to the top!! I sooo dig! Currently Judicial resides in Atlanta, Georgia on his grind performing at local Open Mics. Make sure to download his mixtape, show him some love on his myspace and get at him on the blog!

You know the guys over at a Quests love to hear their own peers start to get on. From club to club, I’m sure you’ve heard this, and if you haven’t Atlanta residents, you probably haven’t been to Club Miami lately. The recently Black Bill Gate’s endorsed, Judicial. This is the new single by the Virgin Island native; you could consider it a label pressured song so don’t mistake his lyrical aptitude just yet. - Quest

Bio
Emerging hip hop artist Judicial, Martin Francis, was born March 11, 1990 in St. Thomas of the U.S.V.I. At age four, he moved to Orlando, FL. Then at the age of ten he started rapping. “I started rapping with friends to consume time and stay away from the troubled neighborhoods surrounding us; my original aim was to play basketball and see where that would take me, but then music grew on me in a way I never would expect.” Inspired by artists such as LL Cool J, Jay-Z, Tupac, Biggie, No Limit Soldiers and the dynamic duo 8 Ball and MJG; Judicial developed his very own style. “I respected the grind of these artists and the stories they would tell causing me to tell my own. I know somebody would be able to relate. Whose to say my story can‘t help them find their path and role in life.” In 2004, Judicial moved to Atlanta, Georgia where he then started pursuing and taking music seriously. When asked why he didn’t pursue music sooner, Judicial responded, “Timing is everything. You come out unprepared and this game just like any other will swallow you. So after I jab a few times and figure out my opponent, I don’t want to follow up with another jab; I want to throw consistent haymakers and end with an uppercut, (if you understand what I’m saying). To answer your question more vividly; I took time to perfect my craft so when I do get out there I can give my accumulated fans hit after hit.” But before you question his experience, Judicial has previously released two mix tapes before the age of 17, none of which have been solo. Now as a solo artist he has been finishing up his demo and also his third but first solo mix tape, which he entitles 1st Floor. He is currently participating in several open mics and showcases in the Atlanta Area. Places such as; Breaker’s Music Hall, Red Light Café, Apache Café, Club Miami on Mondays , and Figure 8 on Saturdays where he has won numerous times. With his older brother behind bars, Judicial has assumed responsibility as the oldest male in his home, causing him to stay focused and grounded. Currently working his radio ready single, look out for Judicial and the Home team (his street team).
