Born in Congo. Raised in South Africa. Sharpened in Canada. jev. is the voice of the misunderstood  a LONER who turns emotion into art and isolation into fuel. His music blends soul, storytelling, and cinematic production, cutting through with lyrical precision and raw vulnerability. jev. carries a global perspective in both life and sound. His music a fusion of alternative hip-hop, classic rap, soul, and R&B is experimental, emotional, and boundary-pushing. It’s for the outsiders, the wanderers, and the ones still searching for themselves, the LONERS. His viral hit “Where’s the Confetti?” earned him over 40 million streams and catapulted him from working retail to landing Spotify and Apple Music covers, performing in front of thousands, and being featured on billboards in Toronto. Still independent, still different, jev. is building a movement rooted in one message: "don't blend in, it's okay to be different"

Isaiah Rashad doesn’t look back. Instead, he never stops moving forward. That’s why the internet has tried so hard to keep up since the Chattanooga, TN-born and Los Angeles-based artist emerged in 2012. After one seismic appearance after another throughout 2013, he formally introduced himself with 2014’s Cilvia Demo. XXL named him among its prestigious “Freshman Class,” while the project earned a rare score of 8.2 from Pitchfork. Just two years later, his full-length debut, The Sun’s Tirade, bowed in the Top 20 of the Billboard Top 200 and closed out 2016 on over a dozen year-end lists, including UPROXX, L.A. Weekly, Inverse, Stereogum, Pop Matters, Pigeons & Planes, Pitchfork, and more. In between sold out shows coast-to-coast and racking up nearly 500 million total streams, he quietly stared down his demons out of the spotlight. By the time he dove back into music, life had changed. The process switched up, so he realigned and linked up with new collaborators such as Kenny Beats. Ready to break a five-year creative silence, he returns with his second full-length album The House Is Burning[Top Dawg Entertainment], including the single “Lay Wit Ya” [feat. Duke Deuce]. While the house is burning, Isaiah’s running forward at full steam once again. Try to catch up.
