JVNEBVG Joins The Ghetto Flower Family

Upcoming artist JVNEBVG, hailing from Chicago, has been making waves in the music scene since 2019. His distinctive style came to my attention after his feature on LaSalle Grandeur’s album “A Ghost of Self” in October. Unlike many artists we’ve covered recently, JVNEBVG stands out as an alternative rapper with a sound reminiscent of early XXXTentacion and Ski Mask the Slump God. His music is characterized by grungy, hardcore, rock-infused production.

Introducing the NU-TECH Genre

In blending various genres, JVNEBVG has coined a new term for his sound: "NU-TECH." JVNEBVG describes NU-TECH as a fusion of the aggressive energy of Digital Hardcore, the fast-paced rhythms of Drum and Bass, and the gritty textures of Industrial sounds, combined with the lyrical intensity of Hip-Hop and Rap. He explains, “NU-TECH is my way of defying conventions and expressing my true self. It’s a unique sound that pushes boundaries, combining diverse genres to create something truly original. With punk-style vocals delivering raw emotion, NU-TECH is about blending the aggressive energy of Digital Hardcore, the fast-paced rhythms of Drum and Bass, and the gritty textures of Industrial sounds with the lyrical intensity of Hip-Hop and Rap.”

For first-time listeners, this genre-bending production might be a bit overwhelming, similar to the early works of XXXTentacion and Ski Mask. While JVNEBVG's lyrics aren’t as outrageous, the production quality matches their intensity.

Exploring ‘PARK CITY’

Released on June 21, 2024, JVNEBVG's debut album "PARK CITY" runs for about 35 minutes and features 13 tracks, including two previously released songs. The album boasts collaborations with artists Ak3k and Beamon. Ak3k features on "IM NOT THE ONE" and "DISTORTED," while Beamon makes an appearance on "96."

One standout track is "ASSUMPTIONS," which blends an EDM feel with JVNEBVG’s rock-infused flow, creating a perfect mosh-pit anthem. The song also features a beat switch in the final minute, slowing the tempo slightly. Another highlight, "LAST CHANCE," sounds like it belongs in a high-speed chase scene from a video game or movie. Its uptempo, intense production is bound to make listeners want to rock out.

JVNEBVG maintains this high-energy, grungy rock and hardcore production throughout the album, making it easy for new listeners to decide if they want to continue after just a couple of tracks.

Overall, "PARK CITY" is a refreshing album that will appeal to fans of the punk scene. Even as someone not particularly into punk, I found myself wanting to get up, mosh, and have a wild time.
