Invisible to most people the evolution of a butterfly is a violent undertaking that transforms a completely perfect caterpillar into something a little more beautiful. Jean Dawson’s evolution from 2017 has been incredible. He crawled up the side of our playlists and wrapped himself up into a chrysalis made of hater tears and abdominal sweat. On the other side of this evolution is an artist that is ready to fly off into the hearts and minds of every angry teenager on this side of the universe. Sitting somewhere between Nirvana and Nipsey Hussle is an artist waiting for you to notice him but don’t wait too long because we can see the wings being created before our eyes.
