J Westrupp

J Westrupp (Prev. Konflikt) is the stage name of Wellington born rapper, Jarad Westrupp. With a quick-witted tongue and an allegiance to lyricism, ‘JW’ thrives on intricate story-telling which is often delivered with his passion for punchlines, metaphors and symbolism. It's no surprise he's inspired by artists such as Royce Da 5'9", Jadakiss, Nas, Eminem and emcees alike. ‘Those that uphold the bar’. After touring the country, performing at Rhythm & Vines and playing support for countless international acts (Freddie Gibbs, Dizzee Rascal, Dead Prez, Hilltop Hoods etc.) Westrupp is ready to return to the stage with a catalogue of new music. Since taking a conscious break from the scene, you can expect a year full of new material as he aspires to promote quality pen-game within New Zealand Hip-Hop.
