About J Neat
Artist Biography
J Neat is serious about not taking life too seriously. On tracks like 2020’s “Eye for Eye”, from Lost Soul (Deluxe), the Canadian MC (born Javell Barnes) raps effortlessly about a woman whose eye he’s caught over an infectiously bouncy beat. Often drenched in Auto-Tune and spitting over riddim-infused beats, J Neat, who first emerged from Toronto’s Jane and Finch neighborhood in the post-Drake era, exudes intense charisma and major swagger with his witty one-liners and energetic flow. Fuelled by a menacing, melodic rap beat and piano chords reminiscent of mid-2000s Atlanta hip-hop, Neat’s sexy 2021 single “LIT”, featuring fellow Toronto rapper Burna Bandz, is a track made for the clubs and late-night drives with the windows down. Neat synthesises various influences into his own brand of celebration rap perfect for turning up and letting loose.
