Produced by multi-platinum producer Hargo (Central Cee/Digga D), ‘DTB’ embodies his signature sound that we have got to know and love from the rising north London rapper. The Hargo production gives JBEE license to express himself and contemplate the struggles of his newfound fame, trusting people and showing love and appreciation to god and his family.
JBEE broke onto the scene in 2021 with his viral hit ‘4am’, which caught the attention of Lo-fi Drill lovers and has now racked up over 80 million streams. He followed the success with a ‘Next Up’ freestyle which has become the third most watched ‘Next Up’ and has accumulated 79 million streams and counting. Only 20 years old, JBEE hasn’t wasted any time and has steadily become his generation’s voice and a positive role model. His cult following is multiplying daily, bagging over 3 million monthly listeners on Spotify, with his fanbase stretching to Australia and dedicated support throughout Europe.
