Jae.Joven | “STUNTMAN”, An Ego-Driven Hype Song
Bringing immense energy and hard-hitting bars to the Rap Fiesta scene is Jae.Joven and his newest single, “STUNTMAN“. The dynamic track is packed with introspective bars, a rhythm that’s instantly addicting, and a swagger from Jae.Joven you simply can’t ignore.
Currently based about an hour outside of Portland, Jae.Joven has been working on his artistry for about five years. However, the smooth-moving rapper says he feels like he’s only recently been finding his true sound. While listening to “STUNTMAN” you can feel and hear how Jae.Joven’s continuous hard work has paid off, as the song delivers a polished, confident sound.
I thought the concept of multiple versions of ourselves all having their own personality was really interesting and relatable. ‘STUNTMAN’ is a song I wrote about two different versions of myself that often compete with each other – Jae.Joven, regarding the inspiration behind his latest single.
Further, Jae.Joven sees the ‘stuntman’ version of himself and the person who’s responsible for getting out of the tough or high-stakes situations in life. It’s the person who takes all of the emotional punches and is expected to “carry himself unphased by all these things.” Although he takes on a lot of emotional responsibility, this ego-driven ‘stuntman’ also gets to enjoy the feeling of being the top dog.
“STUNTMAN” undoubtedly gives off this top-dog energy thanks to the arrogant bars and party-starting energy. Jae.Joven’s ability to weave thought-provoking bars into a song with such energy is impressive. And the way the rapper molds his flows throughout the song ensure the energy never dips or lulls.
Joven means ‘young’ in Spanish, so it’s kind of like a play on how you would say the name in English, ‘Young Jae,’ while also paying homage to my heritage/culture – Jae.Joven on the origin of his stage name.
Produced by David Arcade, the rhythm featured in “STUNTMAN” will have you vibing from start to finish. The first half of the song is packed with invigorating energy that nearly forces you to get hyped.
However, there’s a beat change about halfway through the track that delivers a more trippy, mind-bending cadence. Despite this drastic shift, Jae.Joven doesn’t faulter and consintues to lay down a flow that’s comparable with some of hip-hop’s greatest.
As soon as I heard that beat switch at the end I knew it was a wrap and that I’d have to make something killer – Jae.Joven.
“STUNTMAN” is a great way to get yourself introduced to Jae.Joven. Throughout the song, the rapper delivers incredible bars, unstoppable flows, and thought-out lyrics that leave you wondering what’s next for this rising talent.
You’ll wanna give Jae.Joven a follow on Instagram after experiencing everything “STUNTMAN” brings to the table. The rising rapper assured us more music is on the way, including three more singles within the next couple of months. On top of that, Jae.Joven plans to drop his second EP by the end of the summer.
