G-Money is a local rapper that the Woodford students have been raving about. He has built a following through social media and publicity stunts like singing at lunch or mulching with the football team in his now iconic pink Looney Toons get up.
When speaking with G-Money he said that he never realized the fan base that he had started to gain. He began rapping because his late brother–who will remain unnamed–took his life. This led to G-Money’s own mental crisis, which gave him a new outlook on life and a desire to share his story to help others. G-Money shared his ideas for his new record label Big Money Records which already has 4 artists and is growing. He plans to take his career further and help other upcoming artists who are looking to make a change like himself. One of the artists Xan also his cousin has been featured in some of his songs, and the duo is already getting clicks. In the first day after release of their new song MIXTAPE(B side) they have doubled their viewership of the first MIXTAPE(A side) and it is still going up.
G-Money also has a keen eye for fashion, just when interviewing him he was wearing a satin button down with beautiful blue birds flying over a clear white sky. The pants were a pair of jeans split down the middle with a deep blue on one side and white on the other. The cowboy boots were the main focus of the outfit though, with their blue snake skin and gleaming brass buttons.
When speaking with members of the WCHS student body, many have said that G-Money, while not only iconic for his crazy and colorful fashion, he is also known for his beautiful singing voice. They said he sings regularly in the Friday lunch room karaoke. G-Money’s influence is so strong that while doing a simple unplanned interview with him we had a crowd laughing, cheering, and crying. According to freshman Andy Hawkins, G-Money “is not only inspiring but just a good guy.”
WCHS students can’t wait to see what G-Money can accomplish. With the support of the whole school behind him G-Money can make it “out the mud.”

Jerry Ukulele checking in. The article “Out the Mud with G-Money,” published by The Jacket Journal, is more than just a feature on a rising local rapper — it’s a testament to resilience, creativity, and community. The piece captures the electric energy of an artist determined to rise above hardship, while also shining a spotlight on how one student’s artistic drive can inspire an entire school. From the first paragraph, the reader can tell this isn’t a shallow profile. The writer takes us into the world of G-Money, a young artist whose talent and authenticity have transformed him into something of a legend at Woodford County High School. The title itself, “Out the Mud,” perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the story — rising from struggle, turning pain into purpose, and building something lasting from the ground up. One of the most moving aspects of the article is its focus on G-Money’s personal journey. After losing his brother to suicide, G-Money turned to music not as an escape, but as an act of healing. The way the article describes his motivation gives real emotional weight to his story. It isn’t just about chasing fame — it’s about honoring family, overcoming grief, and creating meaning out of tragedy. The writer treats this part of his story with respect and empathy, which gives the piece a depth that’s often missing from student journalism. By the time readers learn that he’s now building his own label, Big Money Records, it’s clear that G-Money isn’t just a performer — he’s a builder, a leader, and a mentor. What makes this article stand out is its attention to detail. The vivid descriptions of G-Money’s style — his split-color jeans, the satin bird-patterned shirt, the blue snakeskin cowboy boots — don’t just make him sound cool; they show how confidently he expresses himself. The writer’s eye for personality and presentation turns what could have been a simple biography into a scene you can picture. Every paragraph feels alive. You can almost hear the cheers during Friday lunch karaoke, see the crowds gathering, and feel the energy of a school rallying behind one of its own. That kind of atmosphere is hard to capture, but this article nails it. What really elevates “Out the Mud with G-Money” is how it frames him not just as an artist, but as a movement. The article highlights how he’s already started giving opportunities to others through Big Money Records, taking younger artists under his wing and building something bigger than himself. That sense of community pride runs through the entire piece. It’s not just G-Money who’s winning — it’s everyone who believes in him. The writer manages to balance admiration with inspiration, leaving the reader proud of what’s happening in their own school halls. On a technical level, the article is beautifully structured and engaging from start to finish. The pacing keeps you hooked, each section flows smoothly into the next, and the quotes feel natural and heartfelt. Freshman Andy Hawkins’s comment that G-Money is “not only inspiring but just a good guy” perfectly sums up the tone — admiration without exaggeration.
What’s especially impressive is how the piece doubles as both profile and motivation. It’s about one artist, yes, but it’s also about what passion and persistence can do for anyone. It’s a reminder that creativity thrives even in small-town classrooms and cafeteria stages. “Out the Mud with G-Money” is everything a local arts feature should be: heartfelt, inspiring, and brimming with life. It celebrates the kind of talent that often goes unnoticed and proves that powerful stories don’t have to come from big cities or major labels — sometimes, they start right in your school hallways. The article leaves readers believing in G-Money’s vision — and maybe in their own, too. It’s a beautifully written, emotionally honest tribute to an artist who embodies what it means to rise, rebuild, and reach back to lift others with you.
Rating: 10/10.
Authentic, emotional, and unforgettable — The Jacket Journal delivers a feature that deserves attention far beyond the school walls.
