J.P. 'Bad Bitty' (Live Performance of The Groove) | Genius Open Mic

J.P. brings “the groove” to the Genius studio to perform a unique rendition of his hit song “Bad Bitty” on OPEN MIC.

The original track is off J.P.’s Coming Out Party LP and has been causing an online craze since his From The Block performance, which has more than 14 million views on YouTube to date. But this is “Bad Bitty” like you’ve never heard before.

On today’s episode of OPEN MIC, the uber talented rapper-singer takes fans on a journey with his performance, proving yet again that his infectious song defies genre boundaries. This time, he does it with a little help from musicians Steph Nolan on the keys and Noah Kobi on bass.

And, please stay tuned for the credits as J.P. and the guys cooked up a little something special.

[theyluv_lonnie]

He really sounds like a pastor at some point of his music, that’s what I love about his personality, he has vocals in every song, I’ve never heard anything like it ❤😂

[abigailhoward]

the ending was the best part lmao. the way he started yelling after the shoulder movement had me CRYING

[nailahoneal]

Been trying to explain to ppl this isn’t just talent this is musicality studied very well. Note placement and all. That school degree paying off. Shoutout to JP for showing ppl it’s not just about being able to sing and all that but it really is art.

[FaTGrLverJonez]

Bruh when he started dancing at the end lol was legendary 😂😆

[sNIXerBars]

This is actually insane. Not all artists would craft a whole different rendition of their song just for a genius performance. This is what real dedication looks like, you can tell he has actual passion and isn’t doing this for the money.

Edit: Don’t wanna be corny or nothing but thanks for all the likes y’all I genuinely appreciate it

A little background on "Can't forget about Bean the dog!" That's Bean, our engineer's puppy. He's always at our shoots. 04:02

[TruittONeal]

Wow. This guy has a voice and it's way better than a lot of artists out right now. So versatile. He could easily pull off a country, hip-hop and r&b album.

[jc_tv]

This deserves a Grammy nomination no cap

[naturallyaziz]

People don’t realize artist THIS versatile have way more opportunity for growth fr. Cause he isn’t stuck to just one genre

[Thatgirlky]

It's the church melody fah me😂 but JP really a goat 🔥🥵

[YoungKingActivity]

This version sounds like an opening praise and worship for service

[MkPlayz-dfdu]

[denbunk]

I didn't even watch I just listened and when he did some of those runs I just smiled like a proud father at my kids talent show 😂😂😂 bro needs to do more cover versions of his stuff like this. Even with acoustic guitars. 🔥
