Jar0me (born Jagen-Jesu Leonard Jerome Ibhadiyi on March 9, 1989) is a Nigerian Hip-Hop recording Artist, Songwriter, and Producer with roots that run deep into the vibrant streets of Lagos and the cultural soul of Edo State. Known by many names — IX (pronounced: 9 or 09 or ZeroNine), k33d, fr3.33 — Jar0me is a sonic shapeshifter who blends raw lyricism with genre-bending production, crafting sounds that hit the heart as hard as they hit the speakers.

From an early age, art wasn’t just a hobby — it was survival. “Art quenched my hunger even when I hadn’t eaten for days,” I recall. Whether trading my meals with my brother’s cartoon sketches or singing for my cousins in exchange for a kobo, young Jar0me discovered creativity could fill more than just an empty stomach — it could fill the soul.

By 2008, Jar0me stepped into the booth for the first time, recording “What You Feel” and later “Me” and “Caution” — tracks that were meant to form his debut EP on 09/09/09. Though the release was delayed due to sharp criticism over language choices and the pull of academic pursuits, the spark never dimmed.

Today, Jar0me stands at the intersection of Engineering precision and Artistic passion — an Engineer by profession, an Artiste by calling. His music is a canvas painted with African grit, global energy, and a fearless commitment to storytelling.

Jar0me made his debut on December 25th, 2022, with his first official EP, Better Late Than Never — a title that speaks volumes about his journey. While most rappers drop their first projects in their twenties, Jar0me took his time, releasing his debut at age 33, proving that timing doesn’t define talent.

Just a few months later, he followed up with his second EP, 0903, released on March 9th, 2023 — his birthday. The three-track project dives deep into his personal story, blending honesty, reflection, and smooth lyricism into a sound that’s unapologetically his own.

With each release, Jar0me continues to carve his lane — authentic, fearless, and right on time.

Deton8 is the explosive collaboration of two ex-military bomb technicians, J.Ruin, a visionary producer and instrumentalist sculpting a raw fusion of alternative electronic pulses, power, and organic textures, and Scott L. Guapo, an unparalleled lyricist whose vivid storytelling spans hip-hop, alt-rock, pop, EDM, and metal. Together, they craft genre-defying anthems blending searing guitars, glitchy synths, and hard-hitting beats with lyrics that cut deep into themes of angst, liberation, and heartbreak. Emerging from a shadowy urban underbelly, their music is a sonic rebellion for the restless soul.

A space between the Light and the Darkness.

🎧 The New Of The Tower
Welcome to a new, underground, dark world...

🎭 Musical Style & Artistic Evolution

🚀 Avant-Garde Dance Music Without Borders
The New Of The Tower is an independent, self-taught project that fearlessly pushes the limits of dance music with a unique fusion of genres. Officially described as a mix of dark techno, tech-house, electro, and experimental pop, it also incorporates elements of trap, punk, and even classical music.

In practice, each track oscillates between club anthems and conceptual sonic experiences. For instance, “Velvet Guillotine” (2025) is a hypnotic techno hymn built on heavy percussion and distorted vocals—a true “surreal sonic ritual” under neon lights.

The sound is always matched by a cinematic, underground aesthetic: strobe lights, cyberpunk visuals, and immersive atmospheres define every release.

🌍 Eclectic Influences & Genre Alchemy

The New Of The Tower draws from a wide range of sonic traditions:

🏴‍☠️ Dark techno and industrial groove infused with gothic textures and anarchic punk (e.g., “BRUTAL!!” — a chaotic journey of distortion and rebellion).

🌍 Afro-Tech House meets rock guitars à la AC/DC in “Love Letters” (124–126 BPM).

👺 “Masquerade of Bass” blends melodic techno, dark psytrance, and retro synth-pop.

💃 Spanish-language tracks like “Marionetas” and “Vidas Rotas” fuse flamenco sorrow with trap beats and deep 808s.

🎷 “2:59 AM” evokes Amy Winehouse-inspired jazzy cloud-rap, while “She Danced Through Storms” travels through deep house and jazz fusion with a cinematic touch.

🧊 “Still Echoing” merges melodic trance with nostalgic 80s synth-pop.

🧬 Each track is a bold cross-genre experiment: from industrial club bangers to dark electronic ballads, always rich in texture and emotion.

🎛️ Sonic Palette: Instruments & Effects

🎹 Synths & Melodies
Analog pads & leads (often vocoder-enhanced) create retrofuturistic atmospheres.
Punk-style distorted guitars and 80s synthwave textures bring cinematic depth.

🥁 Percussion & Rhythms
Hard techno kicks, metallic hi-hats, tribal drums, and trap-style 808s.
Layered acoustic and electronic elements make for dynamic and precise beats.

🌀 FX & Processing
Rich in glitchy clips, VHS noise, deep delays, and reverb-soaked vocals.

Examples: “Love Letters” is drenched in lo-fi and VHS textures; “4 Malos Polvos” features glitchy ambient layers and emotional auto-tune.

🎨 Each sound is carefully crafted to contribute to a vivid, cinematic soundscape.

🎤 Vocal Treatments: A Sonic Chameleon

Vocals range from:
🎙️ Melodic singing (English & Spanish)
🔥 Punk shouting & spoken rap
🤖 Vocoded retro textures (“Still Echoing”)
💔 Melancholic auto-tuned lines (“4 Malos Polvos”)
💣 Confessional, emotionally intense deliveries
🗣️ The voice becomes another instrument of emotion, soaked in effects like reverb, delay, filters—ranging from ghostly whispers to ecstatic screams.

🌑 Emotional Climate & Storytelling

The overall emotional tone is dark, introspective, and visceral.

Themes revolve around:
💘 Passion, heartbreak, rebellion
🧠 Subconscious states & urban alienation
🕯️ Ritualistic, trance-like experiences (e.g., “Velvet Guillotine”)
🌆 Social suffering (“Marionetas”, “Vidas Rotas”)

🎞️ Romantic melancholy in cinematic settings (“2:59 AM”, “She Danced Through Storms”)
🎬 Each track unfolds like an emotional chapter, offering catharsis, vulnerability, and mystery.

📽️ Conceptual Artistry & Vision

The New Of The Tower is not just music—it's an immersive audiovisual concept.

💀 Explores themes of dystopia, poverty, guilt, rebellion
🏙️ Brutalist club visuals, cyberpunk aesthetics
🕯️ Emotional depth with non-commercial intent
🎭 “4 Malos Polvos” = a “dark confession for love sinners,” cinematic and raw
🌀 Each release = a journey through shadow and rhythm
🕺💀 Dance meets darkness—a kind of electronic film noir where each beat tells a deeper truth.
