Feeling Stuck in a Rut? How JNGL’s DJ Revolution Can Reignite Your Passion

Hey my friend out there — I know that burnout grind, when your soul’s running on fumes and even your favorite playlist feels flat. I’ve been there, turntables gathering dust, wondering if my spark’s gone for good. But then I sat down with Deante Chisley on the Kinetic PE MIXX Show, the mastermind behind JNGL — a DJ battle movement that’s bringing raw artistry back to the decks. His story hit me like a bass drop: faith, grit, and a vision to lift others up. It’s not just about music — it’s about rediscovering purpose. If you’re craving renewal, this one’s for you. Here’s how JNGL’s revolution can inspire you to shake off the rut and chase your dreams, with faith leading the beat.

Deante’s journey with JNGL isn’t just a DJ comeback — it’s a call to reignite what’s been lost, whether it’s your passion, your hustle, or your connection to God. On the episode, we unpacked his vision, and it left me with three actionable steps to help Sarah — you, the burned-out believer — find your fire again.

1. Rediscover Your Roots: Start Where Your Soul Sings
I used to spin tracks in my basement, feeling alive — until life piled on and I forgot why I started. Deante gets it. He told me JNGL came from the “Rumble in the Jungle” — Ali vs. Foreman — a throwback to when DJs were the heartbeat of hip-hop, not just background noise. “DJing’s the pillar of it all,” he said, “crossing genres, setting the vibe.” His first battle in DC drew 500 people, proving the hunger’s still there. For Sarah, it’s about going back to what lit you up — maybe it’s music, prayer, or a dream you shelved. Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.” Start there.
Takeaway: Grab your Transform U Coffee tomorrow, sit quiet, and ask, “What used to make my soul sing?” Write it down — your roots are your reset.

2. Step Into the Battle: Push Past the Fear
Deante’s story started with a dare — his buddy DJ Windy City claimed he could outspin the local legend, DJ Quicksilver. Deante laughed, then built JNGL to test it. Funny thing? Windy didn’t make the cut, but seasoned DJs like K Meta and J Murphy stepped up and owned it — K Meta snagged $5K, J Murphy got a dope varsity jacket. “They’d never had a stage like this,” Deante said. Me? I’ve ducked battles — literal and spiritual — ’cause doubt’s loud. But Psalm 23 whispers, “He restores my soul.” Sarah, your rut’s a battle too — step in. Whether it’s a new gig, a prayer, or dusting off your own turntables, face it head-on.
Takeaway: Pick one fear this week — small or big — and tackle it. Sip Transform U Coffee, pray Psalm 23, and move. Our coaching at Transform U can guide you through the fight.

3. Build Your Crew: Thrive with Community
JNGL’s electric — Big Freedia hosting, Lenny S judging, Les Twins dancing — because Deante built a squad that believes in the vision. “They’re humble,” he said of DJs, “their talent speaks.” I felt that when I saw DJ Payme, a JNGL runner-up, kill it at a DC spot post-battle — proof the platform lifts careers. I’ve burned out solo too many times; community’s my lifeline now. Sarah, you’re not meant to grind alone. Deante’s tapped legends like DJ Ninth Wonder for Dreamville — imagine your crew. Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Find your people — online, at church, wherever.
Takeaway: Reach out to one person this month — share a dream, pray together. Join our Transform U community; we’re your crew to reignite that spark.

Deante’s JNGL isn’t just DJ battles — it’s a movement of faith and hustle, from Howard Homecoming to Super Bowl. He’s faced awareness hurdles but leaned on prayer — “If God’s not in it, I’m out,” he said. That’s the vibe Sarah needs: roots, courage, community. Your burnout’s not the end; it’s the pregame to your revolution.
