Born in 1988, Jassim Jean Ramdani discovered rap in the mid-2000s with his childhood friends as part of Exodarap. “For me, rap remains a team sport.” With Goldman (2014), the Brussels native made a first solo turn. Concert dates followed one after another. His path then crossed that of Caballero. The two set up a studio, “almost by mistake,” and laid the foundations for a lasting collaboration with Double Hélice (2016). “It’s the most important encounter of my professional career. We’re like two brothers.” The duo has endured, releasing over twenty joint projects. In parallel, JeanJass has built a solid solo discography, where another dimension gradually asserts itself: production. “Very early on, I understood that if the beat wasn’t good, even with the best rap in the world, it didn’t work for me.” Sampling and digging gradually shaped his universe. He then lent his skills to other projects: Déjeuner en paix (2023) with Mairo, SCOPE (2024) with Keroué, Cognac & Cigarettes (2024) with Jungle Jack. This freedom also extends to his writing. With Doudoune en été (2022), JeanJass adopted a more spontaneous approach. Initially conceived as an EP, the album took on a different scale. “It reinforced the idea of not overthinking anything, just finishing the tracks and truly listening to myself.” Je suis la bonne voie, y a des signes qui le prouvent C’est pas moi qui la cherche, c’est l’inspi qui me trouve — CRL NDR
