SINGAPORE, 7 JULY, 2023 – Rising Singaporean rapper J.M3 (pronounced as Jamie) announces the release of her brand-new bilingual track “Tap Out!” that is exclusively available on the official motion picture soundtrack for JOY RIDE, a new comedy from Lionsgate directed by Adele Lim. The film premiered this spring at SXSW to rave reviews and is screening in all Golden Village theaters since July 6th in Singapore. Released on Warner Music Group’s Rhino Records, the soundtrack is now available worldwide on all digital platforms for streaming or download from today.
Since her debut major label single “Hot Sauce” released a year ago, J.M3 has undergone rapid evolution and taken the music scene by storm with her strong spirit of self-empowerment, witty bilingual rhymes, and explosive live performances. Other that being featured as one of Live Nation’s Ones to Watch in 2022, J.M3 proved her mettle with her collab cypher with adidas as the only female rapper featured on the brand’s NMD campaign in Singapore. Last November, “Hot Sauce” was also being featured on season 3 of CW’s series, Kung Fu.
In the live performance space, J.M3 kicked off the year with her performance at the nation’s countdown event televised by MediaCorp and was once again, the only featured female rapper on the hip-hop ensemble show Sin Ma Hui curated by famed local rapper Shigga Shay at this year’s Huayi, Chinese Festival of Arts 2023.
On May 19th this year, J.M3 released her debut 5-track EP, 180 Athena, which features the collab track “X” with Taiwanese pop artist, KIRE. To promote the EP, J.M3 took a whirlwind two-week Taipei promotional press tour in June to build her fast-rising artist profile across the borders.
Says J.M3, “‘Tap Out!’ is a track that one puts on to psych your confidence up to take on anything that comes your way. It's the champion mindset - you are greater than you think you are.
Being a part of the Joy Ride soundtrack is a great deal to me and such an honor. It has such a strong female cast in front of and behind the scenes, and I feel incredibly proud to see females and Asian creatives being spotlighted. There is a lot to celebrate, and we are just getting started!”
As one of many firsts, other than being featured on a Hollywood soundtrack, J.M3 also sees “Tap Out!” being featured in a hilarious club scene featuring cast members Ashley Park, Sherry Cola and Ronny Chieng in the movie.
Currently, J.M3 is in the studios working on the official theme song for Affyn (a prominent Singapore-based Web3 company)’s new mobile game, Buddy Arena. The song is penciled for release later in the year and more details will be revealed in the coming months.
