kenzo jae
‘Sloth’ releases Friday 5th June via Launchpad+ / EMI North
Music embargoed until 5th June 2026.
Forged in Bradford’s backstreets and shaped by Persian, Kittician, and British bloodlines, kenzo jae’s lyrical nuances straddle the line between realism and reverie, where northern grit collides with imagined worlds. His debut mixtape, Sabretooth: Directors’ Cut released in the spring of 2024, marked the arrival of the kenzo jae universe and his creative alter ego, Arrogant Samaritan, a name he also gave to his self-run production house, through which he brings every visual and artwork to life.
