iHATEJON releases “Bounce It”

Hailing from Shelby in North Carolina and now based in Richmond, Virginia, iHATEJON is a rising artist making his own style of alternative hip hop with a pop twist. Taking influence from artists such as J. Cole, Lil Peep, Mac Miller, Kid Cudi and Dominic Fike as well as inspiration from all kinds of music from blues to modern day emo rap he offers an entirely unique sound that encompasses a broad range of styles all filtered through his own sonic lens.

Capturing the bedroom pop aesthetics via the warm lo-fi tones in his productions, his music has struck a chord with fans and tastemakers alike. Making his introduction in 2020, he unveiled his sound with his debut single “Purple Açaí” and has since dropped a further three singles as well as a three-track EP titled See No Evil.

Over the last year he’s been bouncing between different states around the east coast where he’s worked on new material and now brings us his latest release with his new single “Bounce It”. Linking up with Britton Rauscher as a featured artist and working with producer 8een, on his newest track iHATEJON delivers a laid back hip hop cut.

Spinning a breezy upbeat vibe driven by a chilled beat, mellow vocal flows and a colourful blend of synth-based instrumentation, “Bounce It” sees the artist lay down his thoughts about being a couch surfing independent artist.

Finishing the production of the track in an Airbnb in Britton Rauscher’s hometown of Columbia, South Carolina, there’s also a poignant full-circle nature in the place being where iHATEJON graduated college and started his musical journey, returning as a now fully fledged and exciting artist.
