Reaching out to Jovi, the magazine recognized him as one of the African artist leading the way for Afro-Trap Music.
Talking to Vibe, Jovi explains : “There is traditional music in Cameroon where you can see where trap and that music meets. Every hip-hop producer has a twist to their music. Scott Storch had the Indian strings. Dr. Dre had the piano riffs. And the Soulquarians had jazz. When I produce my hip-hop, I sample from African music and I respect the rules on both sides to come up with a hybrid that sounds good … But at the end of the day you have a disadvantage because it’s new to people’s ears.”
