SAINT JHN 3 BELOW

SAINt JHN is the latest in a stream of extraordinarily talented MCs coming out of Brooklyn. Having cut his teeth co-writing for other artists including Usher, SAINt JHN is now teeing up his debut album Collection 1, which is due for official release in a few months’ time. The recent release of ‘3 Below’ follows ‘1999’ and the hard-hitting ‘Roses’, and is everything we’ve come to expect from the silver tongued artist – dark, honest, and immaculately produced. In between brags is the softer-edged, introspective refrain: "Cause I ain't trying to be nobody's hero, you know / My heart is three below zero". The production behind ‘3 Below’ comes from F A L L E N who pairs piano with sharp beats and a seriously bouncy bass. With a host of great tracks already released, Collection 1 is looking to be a gold-edged record. -HM
