BEAM
executive produced the ten track body of work alongside Cardo—known for
producing songs like Drake’s “God’s Plan” and Travis Scott’s
“Goosebumps” [feat. Kendrick Lamar]. Detonating and rebuilding the idea of
genre, the Kingston, Jamaica-born and Miami-raised maverick distills razor
sharp raps, reggae rhythms, and otherworldly experimentation into an arresting
global hybrid, steeped in the island spirit and uplifted by daring ambition
into a unique sound all his own. Mixing Dancehall with Hip-Hop, Trap and
Pop, he effortlessly switches between Jamaican Patois and English, and
rapping and singing, with his intoxicatingly robust and adaptable voice. The
result is jarring-yet-melodic, a direct-yet-diverse cohesion of colors and
textures.

BEAM pairs
this singular style with a nineties-inspired aesthetic, the decade in which he
was born, which can be found in everything from the project’s visuals to teasers that
have slowly been revealed on social media. Taking 90’s iconography and warping
it into something new, references include everything from Windows 95 and
the internet at its most nascent phase to VHS tapes and TV commercials. Check
out the haunting visual for track “Lost” HERE.

Cavernous synths echo alongside his airy delivery on the opener “Drop The Roof, which kicks down the door into his world. Meanwhile, a simmering beat skitters forward under his Caribbean inflection on “Soldier” before snapping into a militant chant. “Mad Gaal” slides towards a buoyant and bold bounce as labelmate Morgan Saint lends her soulful howl to the hypnotic and haunting “Numb.” During the finale “Stranded,” he teams up with Childish Major for a dynamic and dynamite conclusion. 95 includes additional production work by the likes of Frank Dukes, ChaseTheMoney (Valee, Z Money), Al Cres and Blake$ale. Check out the full track list below.

ABOUT BEAM:

BEAM stands
for “Be Everything And More.”The artist most certainly
lives up to the promise of his moniker. As the son of Reggae and Dancehall
legend Papa San, music has been in his blood since birth. After
immigrating from Kingston, Jamaica to Miami, FL as a young child, he grew up in
the studio. Naturally, he became a songwriting and beatsmith maverick, placing
his first production credits as a teenager. BEAM has done production and
songwriting work for everyone from 2 Chainz and Yo Gotti to Lecrae,
who’s 2012 album Gravity won the 2013 GRAMMY Award® for
Best Gospel Album. Most recently, he worked on 21 Savage’s 2018 album I
Was > I Am on tracks like “ball w/o you” and “good day.” As he a
quietly amassed an arsenal of solo tracks, he lent his voice to “Mumbai
Power” from Skrillex’s 2019 Show Tracks. Not to
mention, he earned a cosign from Diplo and hit the studio with the likes
of Major Lazer, Metro Boomin, and South
Side, amongst others.
