If it wasn’t for Noah Bennett, I wouldn’t know anything about 17-year-old L.A. producer Jeremy Hawkins (aka JHawk). I still don’t know a lot about him, but what I do know is that this kid is prolific. He’s been making beats for his L.A. friends for a while now. According to his bio, he’s made over 1,000 beats in the past 6 years. That means he started making beats when he was 11. He’s released an impressive FREE mixtape called “Jerkin With JHawk”, which you can find here, featuring production for Go Go Power Rangers, Pink Dollaz (one of the standout artists on the comp), New Boyz, and others. They’re all a part of a movement called Jerkin‘, which originated in Southern California (see some Jerkin’ in action here).

I first heard this song in Jeff Cowan and Henry Choi’s short “jerkin” documentary Now We Jerk. I couldn’t figure out for the life of me
