First beat, first verse
thavincent flips a sample on a borrowed laptop. Jaylin freestyles over it on FaceTime. They save it as 'song1.wav'. They still have it.

The garage
Move into a converted garage off Stockton Blvd. One mic, one interface, a thrifted couch. Most of After Hours, Vol. 1 lives here.

/ about us
Two cousins. One garage. A lot of late nights.
Troubled Youth is Jaylin Martin and thavincent — two cousins out of Sacramento making music for the people who can't sleep.
Jaylin writes from his bedroom. thavincent makes the beats from his. They meet in a garage on the south side and stitch the pieces together.
The name "Troubled Youth" isn't a costume. It's the lane they grew up in. The music is the version that came out the other side — quiet, warm, honest.
