JuiceKarter, the powerhouse behind Rise Up Music Group, has built his career on recognizing raw talent and turning it into success. One of his most anticipated projects is the Rise Up Music Group compilation album, which promises to showcase the label’s fresh talent alongside some exciting surprises.
When asked about the compilation, JuiceKarter confirmed the rumors. “Yeah, it’s true,” he said. “This project is all about showing what Rise Up stands for—building a platform for artists who are hungry, talented, and ready to put in the work. We’ve got some major names and some new faces that are about to take over.”
The album’s roster includes newly signed artists like River Lyons, a rapper from Houston whose single Roundz featuring Jay Lewis is already creating a buzz. “River has that star power,” Juice explained. “She’s got this unapologetic energy that’s rare, and I can’t wait for people to see her potential.”
Another standout is JonGotFanz, a futuristic rapper from Douglasville, Georgia. Juice is executive producing their upcoming collaboration tape, JonGotJuice, which features underground producers like TronMadeIt from Houston. Recently, JonGotFanz was spotted working on the tape with JuiceKarter at DaBaby’s Billion Dollar Baby Entertainment recording studio in Charlotte, NC. “This tape is more than just music; it’s a moment,” Juice said. “JonGotFanz has a sound that’s ahead of its time. I’m excited for the world to hear it.”
Juice also hinted at some unexpected features on both albums, including LazyGod, a rising rapper from Broward County, Florida. “Lazy is my guy—this is deeper than music,” Juice said. “From label meetings, making music together, to personal shit. That’s the bro. Having him on the album is going to be special.”
The compilation project also includes undiscovered talent like 2 Degrees from Phenix City, Alabama, and ODR Quez from Baltimore, Maryland. “Both of these artists bring something different to the table,” Juice said. “They’re fresh, original, and hungry to prove themselves. I’m here to help them make that happen.”
Honorable mentions on the compilation include Cincinnati rapper Young Sauce Da God, whose radio hit Party has been making waves. “Sauce and I have a vibe when it comes to music,” Juice said. “We’ve been overdue for some collaborations, and this completion album gives us the perfect chance to deliver.”
While both albums are making headlines, JuiceKarter’s recent successes also deserve recognition. One of his proudest achievements is his work with Flippa T, a TikTok influencer turned rapper. Flippa’s breakout single, No Worries, became a viral sensation, but it was Juice’s behind-the-scenes efforts that helped push her career to the next level.
“Flippa T and her manager KB were new to the music business when I first met them,” Juice said. “They had the raw talent in Flippa but needed guidance on how to navigate the industry. I remember moments like calling the program directors at radio stations like 92.3 in Macon, Georgia and asking if anyone heard of her. Even though they would always say no because she was so new at the time, it was those 20-30 minutes explaining why they needed to support a small-town Georgia artist who was destined to be a star. From radio stations, to DJs, and more. That kind of groundwork is what I love to do.”
Juice’s relentless push for Flippa T didn’t stop there. He used his relationships with DJs, bloggers, Spotify curators and club promoters to ensure No Worries gained traction. The results speak for themselves—Flippa T now has over 250,000 Instagram followers, 370,000 TikTok followers, and more than a million YouTube views.
“I’ve always said Flippa T was going to be a star,” Juice said. “She hasn’t even hit her peak yet, but just watch—she’ll be a household name soon enough.”
JuiceKarter’s ability to create success stories extends beyond Flippa T. In 2023, Rise Up Music Group celebrated two major milestones: Lazadia’s All That peaked at number four on the iTunes Top 100 Hip Hop/R&B chart, while FLA Toot & Calvary Kylan’s Posted claimed the number one spot. These achievements build on Juice’s earlier success, such as his 2014 single My Dollars, which charted at number 67 on RadioWave Monitor during his time with M. Republik Music Group.
JuiceKarter reflected on his journey with gratitude and determination. “These moments remind me why I do this,” he said. “It’s about helping artists achieve what they never thought possible and showing the world what they’re capable of.”
With the Rise Up Music Group compilation album and a lineup of rising stars ready to take the stage, JuiceKarter is setting the tone for an even bigger 2025. “These albums are just the beginning,” he said. “It’s about building something lasting—something that fans will remember.”
As Juice continues to develop his label and mentor the next wave of talent, one thing is clear: his passion for music and artist development is unmatched. Whether it’s discovering hidden gems like River Lyons and JonGotFanz or championing talents like Flippa T, JuiceKarter’s influence is undeniable.
“This isn’t just about making music,” Juice said. “It’s about making history.”
