When we first heard from Johnny Petrop, he was simply
starting his rap career with one single and a dream the size of the largest
ocean. Now, about a year later, Johnny has finally released his very first mixtape
titled “That Felt Good”, and is hoping to gain new fans and the respect of the
public. While he anticipated the album’s
release to be much sooner, Johnny admits that the entire process of creating
“That Felt Good” was an inexplicable learning experience that he will carry with
him throughout his career.
“That Felt Good” was
released on March 5th and since then Johnny has been working hard to
promote himself and be heard. However,
the moving title to this project does have a story behind it as Johnny himself
explains, “I always knew I loved this and to actually act on it—to go and
follow a dream is one of the hardest things I think anyone does. To go chase that—that felt good—to go out
there and become my own man.”
The project consists of 16 tracks, all of which Johnny
admits that he loves. However he was
able to single out a favorite song: Papou, featuring TJ Fox, another artist
featured on A Vocal Accord. In the
process of making his mixtape, Johnny’s grandfather passed away, someone who
has played an instrumental role in molding him into the man he is today. “It was the first time I cried when recording
a song” he says “that’s how much emotion was in this song.” Johnny’s goal was to incorporate as much of
his grandfather as he could into the song in order to make it as close to
perfect as he could.
In the coming months, Johnny has different performances and
all different kinds of promo in the works for his fans. He is working diligently to make sure that
his music is able to hit the ears of many and even reveals that he has
something new coming out very soon. “I didn’t
stop at ‘That Felt Good’—I want to keep the ball rolling.”
If you want to see Johnny live be sure to check him out
TOMORROW at 10pm at The Recovery Room in Flushing. He’s excited to get everyone pumped and ready
to kick off Spring Break!
