Comethazine

Twenty-year-old Jahmier Velazquez quit his mechanic gig when last year’s “Bozo” and “Hella Choppers (Remix)” blew past 500,000 SoundCloud streams, and “Piped Up” hit 3 million on YouTube. As Comethazine, the St. Louis rapper imbues cliches about cars and lean with a syrupy delivery and ominous, repetitive ad-libs. He opened for Post Malone in 2016 after debuting EP Aloe Vera and aims to be the next Rick James.” – Clara Wang
