The Wolf of Late Registration
Bitten by the music bug from an early age while listening to old records with his dad, Jabari would make it his job to study the greats. “I have always been a big music head. I listen to music all day long,” stated Jabari. When asked what music is to him, Jabari explained beautifully, “music is the purest form of expression. All art holds value and is responsible for describing feelings and emotions.”
“Music is the most elite and complete art form there is. Music is a powerful artform, music is important,” stated Jabari.
Jabari went on to elaborate on how art tells the story of the people. “If you want to know what was going on in a particular time period, the art will tell you,” stated Jabari. With the wisdom of an elder and the vocabulary of a professor in Linguistics, it is only fitting that Jabari use his time and creativity to tell the story of today.
His debut single tells the story of unprecedented times, from the lens of a person that uses art as a way of expression and music to set the vibe.
