Top (3) Upcoming International Male 2019

♦
Jahvillani rose to prominence in 2018 with hits such as ‘GAD’, ‘Nuh Reason’, ‘Generals’ featuring Chronic Law, and ‘Gun Song’. His ‘Wileside Government’ track is currently his monster song that is bussing him internationally. Some recent releases doing very well include ‘Clarks Pon Foot’, and ‘Sunday to Sunday’ (Kentucky), both with official supporting YouTube videos.

Lyrically talented, and a bit shy when you meet him in person, Jahvillani, a sing-jay, lyrically explores the uncensored dark sides of ghetto living. His storytelling environments, often negative and violent, seems real, very convincing, making one ask if his own real-life experiences and having to live there among the monsters, predators, murderers and thieves, is what qualified him to currently write the way he does.
♦
Jahvillani it seems, is comfortable with the path that he has chosen. If an artist is truly shaped by his environment, then Jahvillani, if not ‘bad‘ before, will become ‘bad‘ now. He is a former unofficial member of the 6ix, whose leader, Squash, is the only (6ix’th) surviving member of a family of 6ix brothers after the other five were murdered.
♦
Squash, a bit of a rebel, is rumoured to be under frequent police surveillance, and there are many more stories about Squash and the #6ix that is best not told here. The point is, Jahvillani’s close association and past unofficial 6ix-member status, may make him somewhat of an ‘endangered’ new-generation artist.

While Jahvillani is in self-definition mode and trying to progress, fans can look on the bright side – his best works are yet to come, as a new and rising artist, his world is only beginning to expand, with more positive experiences coming along with it. Usually, for fresh new artists like Jahvillani, during this infancy stage of their careers, it’s just a matter of time before their lyricism evolves to reflect a more positive outlook, and for their underground songs to become cross-over potential hits. New artists should have the right to grow and mature before they are tried, judged or convicted.

Congratulations to Jahvillani, taking the ReggaeMania.com Awards ‘runner-up’ spot (2nd Place) for ‘Best Upcoming Artist 2019′.
