Jaee Bryant

Jaee Bryant is a 20-year-old rapper/producer out of Charleston, South Carolina who got his start five years ago producing beats for local artists until he realized that he had something to say. Now that he’s started he just can’t stop. This past December he dropped the album Stop Killin Us, a title that makes sense for a cat from Charleston. Then in February he came back with the Creation EP.
Today MASS APPEAL premieres “Seasons,” the first single off of his upcoming album BLOO, which is due for a Summer 2017 release. That’s three releases in just over six months. In his spare time, Jaee also runs a clothing line called RUIN and manages his independent label Never Say Ruin. (“I never ruin dreams or success,” the founder explains.)
Small wonder, then, that today’s premiere is all about the struggle of achieving one’s dreams as an independent artist. (The breezy track was produced by Chattanooga’s own Keem the Cipher who’s previously gotten it in with Isaiah Rashad.) “I chose to write this song because I want people to know that a lot of things change in the future,” says Bryant. “There will always be someone who is trying to bring you down. But there will always be a way to make it in this industry. I think a lot of ‘rappers’ just make it with no content and no motivation. Everyone wants to sound the same and wants to come in the industry with cars, clothes and jewelry. I’m not that guy. I just want to provide for my family, make great music, and let the fans enjoy.” So the least you can do is press play and enjoy the man’s song right now. - Rob Jenner

ocal hip-hop artist Jaee Bryant is set to release brand new single “Dippin’” here on Fri. Dec. 22, the one-year anniversary of the release of his first EP, Stop Killin’ Us, an album full of thoughts on racism, poverty, and headline news.

Off his new, as-yet-untitled project, “Dippin’” speaks to Bryant’s perspective on life and success following both the release of debut mixtape Bloo earlier this year and a serious car accident from back in the fall. Bryant says he could have lost his life in the wreck, but he’s recovering well now and has another project in the works for 2018, which will further reflect on the artist's 2017.

Bloo was praised by music outlets like Mass Appeal, which premiered the project and called Bryant the hardest working man in Charleston.

Bryant says that Bloo, an album on the ups and downs of making music running a clothing brand, and keeping up with daily classes, also reached No. 8 in the Hip-Hop charts on iTunes.

The artist plans to tour in the Spring of 2018 and will make the move from Charleston to Brooklyn, New York next year, too. Oh, and he’s also got a podcast in the works, which will debut Jan. 10, 2018, just a few weeks following the Spotify release of “Droppin’.” Don't forget to check back for that release here. In the meantime, you can listen to Bloo below - Kelly Rae Smith

KeemTheCipher) really emphasizing the fact that he’s been on the grind.

Showing us what he’s made of on his track “P’s and Q’s [ The Behavior]” — pretty much stating that he watched over his shoulder with every move he made making sure that his next move wouldn’t be his last. “Blu Lights” speaks to the struggling teen in the hood always crossing paths with 5-0. Keeping it real that things aren’t fair for everyone. The track has a snippet from Destiny Child’s ” Independent Women Pt 1” incorporating the “Throw your hands up at me” lyrics as a mannerism we are forced to make when approached by officers of the law.
