The multi-talented rapper, model, and entrepreneur, Jazz Cartier has just released his new album, The Fleur Print, his first new album since the release of Fluerever in 2018. Jazz, one of the earliest architects of the modern-Toronto sound, has made his thunderous return to the limelight, bringing with him the innovation and ingenuity he’s synonymous with, as well as an entirely new and refreshed sense of artistry. The Fleur Print finds Jazz exploring his triumphs and pitfalls with equal urgency, accompanied by an eclectic blend of sounds and accomplished guests. First teasing the album in 2020 with his singles, “Basement” and “Disclosure”, Jazz went on to release his Buddy-assisted single,“Two Of ‘Em” in early 2021, followed by “Nothing 2 Me” with Cousin Stizz, and most recently, “Rock The Boat” featuring KYLE. With other features including Kari Faux and AzizTheShake, Jazz Cartier’s long-awaited album, The Fleur Print is finally here.
Since relocating to Los Angeles and going independent, Jazz Cartier’s creativity has only further blossomed, with the result being Jazz’s most sonically diverse and fully-realized body of work to date, The Fleur Print. This is alsothe first time Jazz has welcomed guests to a project, and his selection was nothing short of flawless. “History” featuring up-and-comer AzizTheShake arrives as one of the many standout moments on the project, with both of them performing over a completely reimagined sample of “Lovely” from Brent Faiyaz. “GLAM” is a late-night, party-ready jam that could easily be the soundtrack for an entertaining weekend, featuring a bouncy, sharp verse from Kari Faux, most notable for her contributions to the “Insecure” Soundtrack. The album’s opener, “Cuzzi’s Revenge” is quick-witted and layered introduction into Jazz’s world, a track co-produced by Ambezza, one of the producers behind Drake & Future’s smash-hit “Life Is Good”.The project reflects his personal growth and a newfound sense of comfort within the community he’s found in LA. In recent months, Jazz has also been working on launching a new men’s skincare line called, Petal Skyncare, he filmed a Diddy-produced chess show with Buddy, Tinashe, D Smoke, and others, and modeled the Italian luxury brand, Marni for Not In Paris 3. Having reemerged more focused and motivated than ever, Jazz Cartier has a lot to look forward to and doesn’t plan on slowing down any time soon.
