Jeune Morty is my most up-to-date music discovery, and would be the youngest artist (in addition to perhaps Jeune Lion) I’ve lined, a truth which is clear in his hyper sound. I discovered about him as a result of he simply performed a present in London with certainly one of my favorites, Ms* Gloom. Instantly, I assumed, jackpot, this man is Ivorian! I can write about him! He actually deserves to be the subject of my remaining publish.
Jeune Morty incorporates components of plugg, drill, and cloud rap with the OG coupé décalé sound that we’ve seen from older artists. His music embodies the flashy, fast-paced vibes of prime coupé décalé. As a twenty-year-old with ears conditioned to the busy sound results and melodies of hyperpop and pluggnb, listening to Jeune Morty is a satisfying expertise. He has the fashionable aptitude that any lover of underground can recognize. His newest album, Jeune Morty Vol. 1, got here out not too long ago on the finish of March. The album begins off with the sturdy Ivorian dance vitality of “Ivoire Feeling” and “Tapper,” however even within the extra pluggy songs like “Kesha,” the affect continues to be evident. One other favourite of mine is “One Extra Time,” produced by lucidbeatz, who’s liable for hits like “RICK OWENS” by Ufo361 ft. Ken Carson and “Let U Go,” which turned Gen Z social media staples, of types. It’s clear that Jeune Morty has that busy, glitchy web sound that so many people go loopy for.
Regardless of this, his lyrics don’t solely revolve round materials items, ladies, or substances, like some others on this fashionable style. He delves into the expertise of being an immigrant in France on “Autre Selected” and makes profound political statements, like a comparability to the French communist activist Man Môquet, who was executed by the Nazis throughout the WWII occupation. His versatility as a rapper and the manufacturing on this album have hooked me as a listener. I’m pleased to say Jeune Morty is one other artist whom I’ve added to my common Spotify rotation, and is my favourite artist I’ve lined for the weblog.
