Bad Girls Club star Judi Jai prepares “4AM in Atlanta” music video release along with “Clickety Clack” single with Hot Chok
The reality TV veteran turned rapper has been recording for over a decade and is now preparing her most ambitious visual project yet
Judi Jai will release her new single “Clickety Clack” featuring female rapper Hot Chok on May 22, 2026. Hot Chok previously competed on Deb’s House, the music competition series hosted by industry executive Debra Antney.
The release is timed with Memorial Day weekend. It follows Judi Jai’s recent collaboration “TWO” with Indiana-based rapper Ari J. Promotional information indicates additional forthcoming features and an upcoming EP.
Judi Jai is also preparing her first official music video for the track “4AM in Atlanta.” The song first received radio airplay during the 2021 filming of Baddies Season 1 in Atlanta, Georgia. The video was directed by videographer, comedian, and rapper Gino Bino and will premiere on her official YouTube channel, Judi Jai TV.
From Bad Girls Club to the Recording Studio: Judi Jai’s Dual Career Path
Judith Camille Jackson, born March 8, 1989, in Chicago and raised between Chicago’s south side and Lake Charles, Louisiana, first gained national visibility as an original cast member of Bad Girls Club Season 7, subtitled New Orleans. She subsequently appeared on Love Games: Bad Girls Need Love Too Season 3, where she secured the winning position, as well as Bad Girls All-Star Battle Season 1, Bad Girls Club Season 13: Redemption, Baddies ATL, and Baddies USA.
Her documented recording career developed in parallel with her television work. In 2013, she released a freestyle adaptation of Yo Gotti’s “Act Right.” Her freestyle quickly gained audience attention back then. Meanwhile, it remains available on YouTube. The track established her output as a recording artist in the industry. It is a direction she has sustained alongside her on-screen appearances.
Her studio productivity increased notably in later years. In 2023, she released the mixtape Ahead of My Time, featuring tracks such as “Jambalaya,” “Henny & Coke,” “Chicago Raised Me,” “You Mad (Freestyle),” and “Crackin’.” That same year, she issued the EP Superstitious, a six-track project exploring themes of personal transition. These releases demonstrated a heightened level of consistent independent production through her home studio.
Music Placements, Media Features, and Listener Recognition
Jackson’s recorded material has extended beyond standalone digital distribution. Selected tracks have received placements in programming on Now That’s TV and she has appeared independent films available on Tubi. She has also been featured in XXL magazine and appeared on the platform ThisIs50, expanding the visibility of her work through established media channels.
Her most recent collaboration “TWO” with Indiana rapper Ari J elicited positive listener feedback that highlighted the strength of her performance and her sustained proficiency in rapping. This collaboration continues her established pattern of working with other artists, a direction also reflected in the upcoming “Clickety Clack” release with Hot Chok.
Judi has indicated plans to release another EP and multiple additional featured collaborations following the May 22 single release. This pattern illustrates a deliberate progression in which her early television exposure has supported sustained independent music production, strategic media placements, and the development of visual content.
“4AM in Atlanta” Music Video Marks Judi Jai’s First Official Visual Release
The song “4AM in Atlanta” first received radio airplay during the 2021 filming of Baddies Season 1 in Atlanta, Georgia. It has remained one of her more enduring tracks among audiences familiar with her reality television appearances.
The upcoming music video, directed by videographer, comedian, and rapper Gino Bino, constitutes Judi Jai’s first official visual accompaniment for a track in her catalog. The video will premiere on her official YouTube channel, Judi Jai TV, which functions as a central platform for her music content and related creative projects.
This visual release complements the rollout of the new single “Clickety Clack” and expands the presentation of her recorded work. Separately, through her company Vixen, LLC, Jackson has developed a product line that incorporates elements of her Louisiana Creole heritage, including the signature “Judi’s Voodoo Juice” hot sauce along with related merchandise. These entrepreneurial efforts contribute to overall brand cohesion across her entertainment and creative activities.
Broadcasting, Acting, and Entrepreneurial Ventures
Jackson pursued higher education at Columbia College Chicago, where she focused on broadcast journalism with an emphasis on radio and television. The program was influenced by family members who had completed similar studies. This academic foundation directly supports her previous role as host of the weekly radio segment The Juice with Judi Jai, which aired on stations including Power 89 and Hot 108 FM (WGTSDB).
In addition to her music and broadcasting work, Jackson has accumulated acting credits in independent productions, including Raven’s Cravings: A Bmore Love Thing (2013), The Stacey Stacey Story: Hell in My Life (2021), and Thats My Bestie. These experiences have contributed to her proficiency in visual media, an area that now extends to the creation of music videos.
Her early artistic training encompassed piano study, ballet, tap, and jazz dance, along with drawing, painting, ceramics, pottery, and original songwriting. These foundational experiences have shaped her approach to performance and composition across her professional activities in television, music, radio hosting, and related creative domains.
More Than a Decade of Independent Music Production
Jackson’s complete music catalog, spanning from the 2013 freestyle “Act Right” through the 2023 mixtape Ahead of My Time, the EP Superstitious, and subsequent singles, is available for streaming across all major digital platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music. Much of this output has been produced independently through her home studio setup.
Additional singles released around 2023 and into 2024 include “Ashes,” “Butterfly,” “Rollin’,” “AOL,” “Sage,” and “AOL 2.0.” These tracks illustrate a consistent production workflow maintained alongside her reality television commitments and other professional activities.
The scheduled May 22 release of “Clickety Clack” with Hot Chok, together with the music video for “4AM in Atlanta,” constitutes the most immediate continuation of this development. Promotional information has indicated plans for another EP and multiple additional featured collaborations in the period following the May 22 single.
What’s Next for Judi Jai
Judi has indicated plans to release another EP and multiple additional featured collaborations following the May 22 single. The “Clickety Clack” release with Hot Chok places her alongside another female rapper who has competition-series experience, expanding the track’s reach across combined audiences.
The music video for “4AM in Atlanta” will provide a visual component to accompany her audio catalog. This release, directed by Gino Bino and premiering on Judi Jai TV, adds a new dimension to the presentation of her recorded work.
Since moving on from radio, she has hosted podcasts, offering a platform for direct audience engagement. Her product line through Vixen, LLC remains active, and her full music catalog is available for streaming across major platforms. The May 22 release of “Clickety Clack” forms part of her ongoing independent music output that has continued for more than 13 years.
