Jairic has spent years laying the groundwork for this moment, and with n=40 dropping today, his vision finally takes center stage. Born in Detroit and now based in Cannes, he is a creative force who writes every lyric, crafts every beat, and directs every shot himself. That fierce independence has already propelled him past two million streams worldwide, landed his early singles in the playlists of Wonderland Magazine, NOTION, CLASH Magazine, and EARMILK, and kept his sound spinning on NPR Music. Onstage, Jairic transforms exclusive venues into his own world, performing at Château Les Alouettes in Cannes, Villa Balbiano above Lake Como, and premiering the short film Azur in Paris. Drawing inspiration from Nas and Wu-Tang Clan, Detroit’s underground, classic funk, 60s rock, and the cinematic sweep of film scores, Jairic has spent five years forging a path that is unmistakably his own.
The eight tracks on n=40 are sharp, restless, and brimming with intricate detail. Deep bass lines collide with warped guitars, dusty samples are reimagined into fresh forms, and the drums swing with a loose, live-wire energy that keeps listeners guessing. Jairic’s voice adapts effortlessly: intimate and conversational when drawing you in, rapid-fire and breathless when the moment calls for it. The lead single, ‘Yolo 2 Yoga,’ fires the opening salvo, blending experimental hip-hop with echoes of A$AP Rocky’s cool confidence and Kanye West’s fearless genre-mixing, yet always sounding uniquely Jairic. The Vansh Luthra-directed video brings the concept to life, showing Jairic in conversation with his younger selves, watching them fade as he strides forward without hesitation.
Jairic shared: “n=40 isn’t midlife. It’s mid-war. I’ve spent my life building things that last—this album is no different. The music, the visuals, the moves—I’m making every second count.”
