Hailing
from Toronto, Jape is no newcomer to the music scene. “I feel like I
was born an artist. I've been involved with music since I was 11,
starting with piano and teaching myself how to play guitar. When I
graduated from school I realized the "normal" world wasn't for me and
decided I'd give this dream my all or die trying,” says Jape.
With
a loyal, local fan base, Jape is ready to internationally expand his
music and the PLAY brand outside of Canada with the release of his new
EP, which includes simplistic but symbolic graphics along with solid
singles. The chemistry of Jape and Prezident Jeff is clearly
exemplified throughout the EP with Jape’s relentless flow over the
melodic, hard beats. The EP includes five tracks:
- U Better (p. Prezident Jeff)
- DOA (p. High Klassified)
- Come Alive (p. Prezident Jeff)
- Never Let Go (p. Prezident Jeff)
- Bezel ft. Thorobread (p. Prezident Jeff)

About Jape
Inspired
by the 90’s in sound, Jape channels the nostalgia that his generation
feels when they hear a good 90s record – some big influences being
Tupac, Jay Z, Jadakiss, Jodeci, and Kanye West. In the past, Jape has
opened for Freeway of Rocafella, MadeInTYO, and Audio Push, and Zaytoven
as well as crushed performances at South By SouthWest (SXSW), North By
NorthEast, and Canadian Music Week. Driven to be “legendary” and push
the culture forward, Jape creates music and art like the best of the
best.
