JAE5 has played an integral role in the Afroswing sound in the UK. He's produced records like Dave's "Location" ft. Burna Boy, as well as NSG & Tion Wayne's "Options," among many other songs but, like many producers these days, he is getting ready to step into the limelight. This week, he unveiled a massive new record alongside Skepta and Rema titled, "Dimension." It's a slow-burning record that finds Rema on the hook and Skepta reflecting on his roots.
“For my first single, I wanted to pull off something that represented me well," JAE5 said in a statement. "It had to be heavily influenced by Afrobeats and the UK urban scene. Skepta and Rema are the perfect combination. ‘Dimension’ is a meaningful track with a vibe! Skepta, as always, delivers the maddest verse and Rema on the hook—that guy just isn’t normal! I hope everyone enjoys the track.”
Quotable Lyrics
Flashbacks to dead bodies and gun shots
Last time I seen my brother's face was a mugshot
PTSD will leave permanent scars
Can't lie, man, I ain't the same brother that I once was
