The music of SAINt JHN is an interesting blend of hip-hop and soca music, largely an influence of his Guyanese heritage. The result is a bass-slapping, trap-influenced set of tracks with a subtle undercurrent of bright, island melodies. Getting his start as a songwriter for musicians like Usher, the Brooklyn-based artist has since created his own pocket in the hip-hop world, collaborating with big names like Lenny Kravitz on “Borders,” which blurs the line between the turn-up and the turn-down. by Jas Keimig
