Hailing from London, mase J isn’t your typical hip-hop artist. Known for blending genres and exploring unique musical landscapes, he brings together elements of alternative hip-hop, indie, and trip-hop, often with his band, crash FM, to electrify live performances. Since his debut in 2021, mase J has steadily built a reputation for his inventive style, collaborating with producer muddy garry on the “Freedom” double single and releasing his EP photodump//exit left, a bold exploration of masculinity and vulnerability.
