Born in 1988, Jassim Jean Ramdani discovered rap in the mid-2000s with his childhood friends within Exodarap. "For me, rap is still a team sport." With Goldman (2014), the Brussels native made a first solo turn. Concert dates followed one 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 journey. We're like two brothers." The duo has stood the test of time and has gone on to complete more than twenty joint projects. In parallel, JeanJass has built a solid solo discography, in which another dimension has gradually asserted 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 crate-digging have gradually shaped his universe. He then turned to serving 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 adopts a more spontaneous approach. Initially conceived as an EP, the album took on a larger scope. "It reinforced my belief in calculating nothing, just finishing the tracks and really listening to myself."
