WHAT IT IS: 26-year-old polymath Jean Dawson—who is of Black and Mexican ethnicities—found his love for music during his daily five-hour treks across the border to attend school in the U.S. Since he started releasing songs, Dawson and his singular sound have caught the attention of SZA, A$AP Rocky, Earl Sweatshirt, Miguel, Isaiah Rashad and Mac DeMarco, all of whom he’s collaborated with. He recently dropped his new album, CHAOS NOW*, which debuted Top 10 on Spotify and Apple Music charts. The set yielded tracks like “THREE HEADS*” and “SICK OF IT*,” the latter of which is chartbound at Alt radio, while amassing millions of streams RTD.
