Magnum Opus

Magnum Opus took about a year, and at 18 songs it's the longest project SyWavy and Jett2Fly have made. It changes mood from song to song, hard rap on one and slow R&B on the next. Vertex kicks it off with real drum sounds and a heavy bass guitar, and Steer swings on a walking upright bass. The last four songs are the singles that led up to it. Flame sounds like an old doo-wop record, but the backing voices are Jett2Fly's own. On Put It On!, The Part Time Models' guitar and Jett2Fly's bass trade a solo, his favorite part of the song. And Awtside hides a Vine boom so quietly that most people never catch it.

Flight 370

While they worked on Flight 370, Jett2Fly had indie rock and bedroom pop on repeat: Men I Trust, The Marías, Clairo. Over the year it took to make, that sound worked its way into the beats, and SyWavy even named a song after Clairo. The result is soft and mellow, a little wistful, with plenty of room for him to sing. Tour grew out of Not Used To, an unreleased early version of The Weeknd's The Town, and The Shining samples Love Through Her, another song of his that never came out. The closing song settles it: Flight 370 is an R&B album.

EP2024

Gentleman From Da South

Between Deep Voice Bastards and Flight 370, SyWavy spent a short stretch as the Gentleman From Da South, a Southern gentleman proud of Florida and already thinking about stadiums. He and Jett2Fly made the EP fast and built it to match, with Southern beats big enough for an arena. Of the three songs, only one looks back: I have to leave.

Album2023

Deep Voice Bastards

Deep Voice Bastards is named for the two people behind it. Jett2Fly never says a word on it, but anyone who's heard him and SyWavy talk would tell you they both have very deep voices, so SyWavy put them both in the title. The production is loud, with big synths that stay smooth instead of harsh and a lot of bass, and even the slower songs hit hard. Jett2Fly was drawing on melodic dubstep, The Glitch Mob in particular, but what he took from it was the mood and the melodies, not the sound. Kuy joins SyWavy on Intrusive Thoughts, which is based on Bowery Electric's Beat.

Wavy Life

Under every song on Wavy Life, mixed so low that most people never notice, is the sound of waves. On top of it, Jett2Fly built what he and SyWavy call the live music album. It wasn't recorded live, but it feels that way: pianos and keys, bass guitar on every song, real drum kit sounds, and Jett2Fly's own guitar on 3D and Telly. SyWavy calls it all live music on Out The Blue, a song that ends on a drum solo inspired by the last scene of Whiplash. It's a summer record, warm with a cool edge.

EP2022

The

SyWavy calls the stretch between Japanese Cherry Blossom and Wavy Life his Sounds of Acceptance era, and The came out right in the middle of it. It's two songs, made quickly, and even SyWavy and Jett2Fly forget it's there. The beats are moody and heavy on synths and bass, hard-hitting without leaning on trap. The Team asks for commitment, and The Oath backs away from it.

Japanese Cherry Blossom

SyWavy and Jett2Fly spent about a year on their first album, and it's where Jett2Fly's synth-heavy sound began. Overture opens with Jett2Fly as the captain welcoming everyone aboard, then runs one melody and drum pattern through every instrument on the album while SyWavy previews each song in his lyrics. From there, every beat hides a hint of the next: in the second half of each song, Jett2Fly tucked in the instrument the following track is built on, playing in the current key. Bright, roomy and hard-hitting, it's made to be played from start to finish.

EP2021

Life is Verses

Life is Verses is made for late at night. Under opens on high, bright synth chords over quick, steady drums, and Nick Fury takes the same idea somewhere moodier. Then there's 3AM. SyWavy loved The Weeknd's Tell Your Friends and asked Jett2Fly to turn it into a beat he could sing and rap over. For about a year, not much happened. In late 2022, people on TikTok found it, and it's still his most-played song.

EP2021

Hurts to Heal

Three months after Why Me?, Hurts to Heal picks the breakup back up and works through it toward something calmer. Jett2Fly built it on synths and let the energy rise and fall: Traffic and Violet & Tate push harder, and 7 Days and 1123 take it slow. The title tells you where it's headed.

EP2021

Why Me?

Read the three song titles in order, Why, Me and ? (Cry), and they ask the question the EP is named for. It's the start of a breakup, and Jett2Fly gave each part its own sound. Why is slow and stripped down, with a simple beat that keeps the focus on SyWavy. Me pushes back, harder and heavier, with a few samples mixed in. ? (Cry) smooths it out into steady R&B and rap, built on the melody of Future's Solo.

Saturn

Saturn came two months after Ear Candi and took the sound somewhere spacier. Jett2Fly built smooth, floating R&B beats with plenty of room for SyWavy to sing, and on Love to See It, SyWavy calls himself an artist, not just a rapper, for the first time. It's only two songs, but that line stuck: it's how he's described himself ever since.

EP2020

Ear Candi

Ear Candi came out in June 2020, weeks after George Floyd was killed, and its cover comes from the protests that followed. SyWavy had a lot on his mind that summer. The sound picked up where Keys' left off: Keys' was built on a single sample, so Jett2Fly kept building beats from samples and loops. They made far more songs that year than they ever released, and these five are the ones they kept.
