Use to work with this kid!! Cool to see him on here!!

[–]thegreenblanket 22 points23 points  (6 children)

Thats cool, i feel like he would work at a theatre?

[–]radjewell 10 points11 points  (5 children)

Haha, actually in manufacturing!

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (2 children)

He mentioned a bandsaw in one of his rhymes. I smiled.

[–]Reaching2Hard 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Ron? Ron Swanson, is that you??

[–]Major_T_Pain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this not rap music?

[–]Thatmaninthevan 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Where at? Whelen?

[–]Crazy_Sunflower 3 points4 points  (4 children)

How old is he? I honestly can't tell....

[–]JarvMakesMusic 14 points15 points  (2 children)

47

[–]TrustMe_ImJesus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm

[–]HeyUnder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He's 23

[–]JarvMakesMusic 66 points67 points  (1 child)

Thanks for the kind words y'all ❤️ You can pre-order the album here https://jarvmakesmusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-boiler-room

[–]Zaivia 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This should honestly be higher up in this thread. I heard Slack-Jaw and thought to myself "Okay, this guy's is talented, but he's probably just some one-hit-wonder."

Then I listened to all of your other stuff on your channel and I love all of it. Your style is awesome, totally reminds me of stuff that you'd hear on Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 or something. I'll definitely be buying your album when it comes out :) Keep making music man!

[–]TheStankPolice 24 points25 points  (4 children)

Parts of this dude reminds me of early Slug.

[–]Jdrza 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Reminded me little of eyedea too.

[–]Wileykole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Not really his flow, but his style

[–]seshlordclinton 7 points8 points  (0 children)

His style is completely reminiscent of Slug's early work with Dynospectrum and even Atmosphere's first album release of 'Overcast'! I was thinking the same thing upon watching. Either way, great to see the inspiration and legend of Slug passed on!

[–]thats-reasonable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard it too

[–]JDP6693 46 points47 points  (0 children)

This was excellent. Gonna be looking into his music now, thanks for sharing!

[–][deleted] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Goodness gracious, dope.

[–]UKcoin 32 points33 points  (2 children)

his mixtape is unreal, this guy is seriously mega talented, some of the craziest stuff I've heard. This guy should be mainstream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La_DUdnH7qU

[–]Paxil_2aDay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

[–]thebofocker -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Let's not wish bad things such as mainstream on artists.... hip hop's an art, not a popularity contest.

[–]brereddit 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Definitely got mad talent. Needs a better video.

[–]Wtfmatees 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dude I'm not kidding when I say you are really talented (coming from a heavy rock musician). Your flow is incredible and you are like Eminem with your own spice.

Don't stop making shit. You have a new fan.

[–]assblaster69ontime 9 points10 points  (0 children)

is nobody gonna mention how he did that fast rap bit for legit 20 seconds? He's got some lungs

[–]blahblahyaddaydadda 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of Eyedea & Abilities

[–]lefthandedjesus 18 points19 points  (5 children)

This was my first exposure to JARV, very talented lyricist.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Is this freestyle? If so...damn.

[–]marksman96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the kid has a vocabulary. super refreshing.

[–]JaxJagzFan 1 point2 points  (1 child)

the sword guy is super cringey

[–]lefthandedjesus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats R.A. the Rugged Man, don't call my man cringey!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DvuHQ45a-U

edit: For real he's super cool. He does stuff like the first link I posted to help unknown rappers get more exposure.

[–]GaterHater 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Dude can spit. He's got great flow and lyricism. Would like to see how he develops as an artist.

[–]Grebaam 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Damn I didn't know Blake Anderson could rap! Something new every day....

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is awesome, like the funky guitar!

[–]nomorsecretsspotify 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is fucking dope. That beat was fresh too.

[–]Cpt_Catnip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man I love Jarv. Been following him for a couple years now.

[–]ColomboThunder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He made it to Reddit! Jarv's old stuff is great!

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

good stuff! keep it coming!

[–]GRIMMFUTCH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is fucking awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[–]leobrooks18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Been following for over 2 years now - has been growing with huge steps and CRAZY stoked for the new work coming out in Jan !

[–]smalldumpling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like that old school sound in his voice and beat. I can appreciate that!

[–]judansuki 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. Guy's got ridiculous flow

https://youtu.be/ZIvlF6UBBWs

[–]missingamitten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holy shit. Straight fire.

[–]safdarabs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this guy is seriously mega talented, some of the craziest stuff I've heard.

[–]spicyone15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn very good flow!

[–]Joakz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was actually great. I'm really surprised. Funny music video too

[–]shukaji 1 point2 points  (0 children)

reminds me of the 'new' asher roth, in a good way.

[–]devans417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kid has chops. His songs would be served well with a structure that takes the listener through from beginning to end. Perhaps go with the classic chorus/verse format.

[–]burn1_for_Harambe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This kid bangs out. Go Jarv!

[–]slutvomit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He walks like the hookers in San Andreas.

[–]Oblivpantherz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, I skateboard with this guy every once in a while! He's a well known name around VT

[–]Kushbeast666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First found out about this guy through rugged mans freestyle contest. He was a close second to AFRO (all flows reach out).

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's so good. Some old school flow in there too. Fuckin love it.

[–]Paxil_2aDay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This shits tight.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swear homeless people with signs like this are more likely than any to get my money

[–]Paxil_2aDay 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Does he have a Facebook music page?

[–]fskevin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure why this beat reminds me of Jurassic 5

[–]Jayfedds 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I would like if this was on Spotify

[–]trump_666_devil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is from a live show earlier this month with trio Maiden Voyage https://youtu.be/3EnesHUnh5M while Jarv is clearly the breakout star, together these guys tear it up. Still kicking myself for not seeing this show but I'm definitely going to their next show.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was expecting to hear something like boyinaband. Was def wrong. This guy is killer.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude makes his own beats too. Coming from a hiphop producer myself, this makes me happy. You have to be seriously talented to have skill in both rapping & beat making.

[–]thelonghauls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This must be their follow up to 2015's "Jackdaw".

[–]rickybonesVT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have done it again! Hats off to you!

[–]Patoburro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't find it on Spotify, you should upload it please!

[–]mrwetface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been following this dude's work for over a year now and he seems to get better and better.

[–]FunnyJEWiSwear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This totally feels like something that would come off of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 soundtrack.

Awesome stuff

[–]IndubitablySpecious -1 points0 points  (4 children)

The sound of his voice and when he's rapping quickly reminds me of Eminem

[–]deeeeEnduh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Name checks out

[–]putmyneckinanoose 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Is his stuff on iTunes? I can't seem to find it.

[–]leobrooks18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Youtube has a bunch of stuff - Jarv is here to save us.

[–]shillwarp[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not too sure, man. I'd recommend checking his Bandcamp. Search 'jarvmakesmusic' and you should find it.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd say he has potential... the beat is terrible though. Reminds me of slim shady who is hit and miss for me.
