    Been following this dude since he dropped his first album last year, he's for sure going places and his flow is great, fully expect to see him in some headlines in a few years. His album (the color grey) also slaps and is a lot heavier on some tracks compared to this more 90s/2000s sound.

      The Novia Scotia reference in this had me wondering if he was Canadian. And then I saw this video which I instantly recognized as being filmed underneath the Vimy Memorial Bridge in Ottawa. :P...

      This confirmed it though:

      The African-born rapper spent the majority of his life in Africa, growing up in the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Africa before moving to Canada with his family in late 2019. jev. has been making music since 2009, but it’s only in 2015 that the moniker jev. took form. Despite the colder weather, the move to Canada was actually beneficial for the young rapper

      Despite being fully in charge of his music career, jev. is much busier than that. Not only is he a full-time student, currently studying marketing at Carleton University in Ottawa, but he works part-time at Staples.

      Digging his stuff. Love that oldschool vibe. Thanks for sharing.

      p.s. 600k monthly listeners on Spotify is damn impressive too.

        Yeah it's kind of wild to me how quickly he's blowing up, the quality is great though so not entirely surprising, definitely keeping an eye on his output. Didn't know he was an immigrant and a...

        Yeah it's kind of wild to me how quickly he's blowing up, the quality is great though so not entirely surprising, definitely keeping an eye on his output. Didn't know he was an immigrant and a student though, that's even more impressive. Dude is going places for sure.
