JELEEL! Drops Wavy New Track, "DELIVER!"

The Rhode Island-based viral rap newcomer is building a wider profile and a more diverse sound with this single.

JELEEL! is one of the rap game's most notable up-and-comers, especially thanks to his passionate and viral followings on social media platforms like TikTok. The 26-year-old is known for his aggressive rage beat choices, high-pitched and vibrant vocals, and for being an absolute unit that can do backflips and stage dives without breaking a sweat. He's been making waves as a must-see live act and as a consistent advocate for love and positivity, resulting in a wholesome fan environment and one of the best sets at this year's Rolling Loud. However, with his latest single "DELIVER!" JELEEL! is looking to deliver a new sound and style to his followers.

Instead of the trap ragers that JELEEL! is known to drop, such as his 2021 breakout hit "DIVE IN!," "DELIVER!" employs more of a dancehall and Afrobeats-inspired rhythm. Sure, the deep bass and fluttering hi-hats you'd expect from a trap beat are still there, and the beat still has the atmospheric saw synths that have defined rage music. But the more easy-going rhythm and optimistic soundscape only further emphasizes JELEEL!'s vocal melodies and positive energy.

“DELIVER! is a such a special record to me because the sound and message is the complete embodiment of JELEEL! and my journey,” said the Nigerian-born rapper. “I've been through so much, from homelessness, to being doubted and pushed aside as an artist. This record is a victory lap for me, and a reminder to myself to always keep me head up and push through any adversity. No matter what comes my way, JELEEL! is going to DELIVER!”

He also gave a high-impact performance at Philadelphia's Made In America Festival this year, and is anticipating a standout performance at this weekend's Rolling Loud New York. JELEEL!'s not likely to slow down, and he'll keep going with the same positivity and high-octane energy that he's built a name from.

Quotable Lyrics

Oh you see now, I was down in the ground with a beatdown (No)
See how I'm a beast? That noises, they all asleep now
You can rock with me now (What), my voices, they always be loud (What)
