Born in 1988, Jassim Jean Ramdani discovered rap in the mid-2000s with his childhood friends in Exodarap.

« Le rap, pour moi, ça reste un sport d'équipe.  »

"For me, rap is still a team sport."

With Goldman (2014), the Brussels-born artist made a first solo turn. Concert dates followed one after another. His path then crossed that of Caballero. The two set up a studio, "almost by mistake", and laid the foundations of a lasting collaboration with Double Hélice (2016).

"It's the most important encounter of my professional career. We're like two brothers."

The duo has stood the test of time, chaining together more than twenty joint projects. In parallel, JeanJass has built a solid solo discography, in which another dimension has gradually emerged: production.

"Very early on, I understood that if the instrumental 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 went on to lend his talents to other projects: Déjeuner en paix (2023) with Mairo, SCOPE (2024) with Keroué, and Cognac & Cigarettes (2024) with Jungle Jack.

This freedom also extends to his songwriting. With Doudoune en été (2022), JeanJass adopts a more spontaneous approach. Originally conceived as an EP, the album took on a far greater scale.

"It reinforced my belief in not calculating anything, just finishing the tracks and really listening to myself."

I'm on the right path, there are signs that prove it

It's not me who looks for it, it's the inspiration that finds me
