Rap collective Conner Helm and Jcreep deliver a thought-provoking bop in their latest project, ‘Blue Lavender.’ The song, entitled ‘Tell Me (What’s Wrong),’ is all about grinding towards your dreams while overcoming all the obstacles thrown your way.
Conner Helm produced ‘Tell Me (What’s Wrong)‘ and all the other songs on ‘Blue Lavender.’ The producer has been crafting unique beats for about five years now and doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon.

Jcreep is the sole rapper on ‘Tell Me (What’s Wrong)’ and delivers some deep-cutting bars. The rapper’s focus on the track describes his journey as a father and the lessons he wants to leave for his children. Additionally, Jcreep depicts the hardships he’s dealt with while striving for success in the music industry.
The duo is based in Sacramento, California, and created ‘Blue Lavender’ together. Jcreep, who has been making music for over ten years now, spits a smooth flow over the beat in ‘Tell Me (What’s Wrong).’ He delivers thought-provoking bars with carefully chosen lyrics that bump through the headphones.
The Sacramento producer Conner Helm wants to express and reveal his true self with his stage name. In the music industry, many artists use a stage name that’s different from their birth-given name. But not Conner Helm. At Rap Fiesta, we had the chance to hear why the producer chose the stage name he did.
My name has no special meaning other than being confident with who you are and presenting the real you. – Conner Helm
Jcreep, on the other hand, chose his stage name to represent his goals as a musician. The stage name is actually an acronym that stands for ‘John Creating Raw Energy Effecting Positivity.’
Based on Jcreep’s tone of voice, you can feel that each bar he spits is spoken from the heart. Additionally, every lyric is packed with deep meaning in ‘Tell Me (What’s Wrong).’ Jcreep wrote and performed his verses with intention and purpose, and it’s certainly felt on the track.
Gain some knowledge and be respectful. But stand your ground whenever they try to test you. And never let em get the best of you. Don’t try to fabricate lies. Don’t let em get to you. – Jcreep
Make sure you don’t sleep on Conner Helm’s abilities as a producer. The beat heard in ‘Tell Me (What’s Wrong)’ is the epitome of creativity. The rhythm gives off a reggae feel based on the relaxing and uplifting energy it gives off.
Conner Helm incorporates several different moving parts as a part of the beat in ‘Tell Me (What’s Wrong).’ You’d think that with all the elements in the rhythm, it would over-shadow Jcreep’s flow. But, both aspects of the song create a perfect balance to produce a truly unique sound for the listener.
‘Blue Lavander’ is jammed with distinctive sounds different from a lot of the industry’s music. Songs like ‘Hard For Me‘ and ‘Espiritu Santo‘ also highlight Conner Helm’s insane originality in his beats. In the previously mentioned songs, Jcreep has no chill with his flow. The Cali rapper showcases alternate flows that complement each beat perfectly.
The Sacramento collective is going to continue to work together to drop more heat. Conner Helm and Jcreep are already crafting another project that’ll be ready to drop later in the year. Regarding their other plans for the future, the duo is focusing on growing their fan base so their music can reach as many people as possible.
