Jaykae - Chop (Henry The 8th) (Official Video)

An innovative Jaykae is emerging with a forever growing charm. Using all his past encounters he has reached a stage of maturity in his life and his sound. Arriving with a real blockbuster track and music video. ‘Chop (Henry The 8th)’ uncovers Jaykae as more than a rapper, delivering the full package.

The Birmingham-made artist entertains a traditional Grime history, no stranger to a clash. In more recent years he has seen immense success with tracks like ‘Moscow’, triumphing over 8 million views on YouTube. A busy 2020 saw Jaykae release music across the industry; a gold selling track with Nathan Dawe ‘Flowers’ and a single for Grime originator Ghetts’ recently released album.

Producer Swifta Beater takes to the sonics of the track. Playing an integral role in the UK Rap and Grime scene, he is no stranger to a fire hit. Referencing his previous chartbuster ‘Man Don’t Care’ by JME in the ‘Chop (Henry The 8th)’ instrumental, he has not let down with the beat for this single. It offers a lot of energy and that’s before Jaykae’s bars join the mix. Poetically staying true to his Grime roots but with his signature style. He follows the theme from the music video perfectly, drawing on historic Henry the 8th characteristics and relating them back to the modern world. An authentic exhibition of his flair and aptitude.

The cinematic is full of medieval madness. Not like your standard rap music video, Jaykae has branched out creatively to bring a Henry the 8th themed visual to go along with the song ‘Chop (Henry The 8th)’. Set in a long-standing castle, following the theme to every detail. A top production with a well-coordinated wardrobe throughout. It’s a real movie and a real work of art. Jaykae gives a charismatic performance both lyrically and visually.
