JMack sits down with Rooted Minds ahead of his new release!

What began as a private hobby for JMack has evolved into a full-fledged pursuit of passion. Encouraged by early feedback from close listeners, JMack decided to go all in — pushing himself to see how far his music could take him. Desert Heat Diaries is a culmination of that journey: a feature-heavy mixtape that puts Arizona’s underground talent on the map for JMack’s California fanbase.

From “3AM in Phoenix” to “West Side Boy”, the tape is rich with regional flavor, lyrical introspection, and cross-state collaboration. With contributions from 7 featured artists, 10 producers, and 4 engineers, this project is a team effort — and a clear statement of intent. JMack isn’t just making music; he’s curating a sound that uplifts both his origins and his newfound creative community.
