With a dedicated YouTube following and over 24K Instagram followers, Isaacjacuzzi is an underground hip-hop sensation. His music has garnered praise from music industry insiders for its melodic, R&B-infused hip-hop flavour which incorporates elements of Jamaican dancehall and Caribbean soca music. Coming from Seattle, a city more known for its torrential rain, Space Needle, artisan coffee and 90’s grunge bands, Isaacjacuzzi showcases a very different side to Seattle’s music scene – although he did shoot the video for his catchy, dancefloor filling single ‘Guava’ at Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell’s mansion.
Isaacjacuzzi who came to the attention of modern hip hop and trap aficionados when he began uploading his music to the music sharing site Soundcloud, frequently performs with fellow Seattle rappers MO$, Keyoney, Lil Mosey and Chandler Williams. The rapper quickly developed a dedicated cult following after uploading songs like ‘I Got’ followed by ‘We On It’ which accumulated 145K likes. Critics have compared the young rapper’s melodic, Caribbean-influenced sound to Drake’s recent material and praised his songs for their catchy beats that consistently fill dancefloors in hip hop clubs, strip clubs and house parties.
Isaacjacuzzi’s earlier work featured dancefloor-oriented, hard-hitting basslines while his more recent work, such as the 2018 album, A Dream From the Tropics showcases his deeper side with wavey melodic crooning over tropical-sounding beats that leave the rapper plenty of space to show off his lyrical prowess. Today Isaacjacuzzi continues to release music and videos, with his latest YouTube viral hit ‘White Bitch’ surpassing 400,000 plays and counting.
