Rap newcomer JAHMED shifts into second gear with his latest release titled “FIAT”, an exuberant and pulsating loosie that showcases JAHMED’s expertly crafted wordplay with his signature cadence and rapid-fire delivery. Accompanying the single is a black-and-white visual directed by Polygon that pays homage to JAHMED’s hometown of Pomona, California. The visual opens and closes on a neighborhood in Pomona as it follows the 24-year-old rapper in collage-like sequences while he embarks on a joyride through the city’s streets and alleys.
Having grown up between California’s Inland Empire and Texas, JAHMED’s musical style has been described as “balancing [a] lyrically-driven intensity with more intuitive Southern flows” by Pigeons and Planes. Both he and his music draw deft influence from the West Coast’s highly-lauded and Pulitzer prize-winning artist Kendrick Lamar and the South’s iconic hip-hop group Three 6 Mafia. “FIAT” follows the release of JAHMED’s debut single “ARCHIVE,” and offers a taste of what listeners can expect to hear from the newcomer.
Stay tuned for more music from JAHMED, and watch the “FIAT” video above.
