A past member of the hip hop group Mindfield, and formally known as Jay Bdeps, Beyond June, has released seven records throughout his career while producing and engineering numerous others over the past two decades.

After a 17 year hiatus as a solo artist, 7T33N/4T33 is Beyond June’s sophomore outing, sonically documenting his reconnection with a past love and his interpretation of that in the present. Written through a summer of independence and a winter of isolation and uncertainty, the sound journals the artist’s journey through the past two decades with an undertone of sadness, yet offering the listener hope as it progresses. T7T33N/4T33 shines a light on a rekindled passion for writing and production, bringing together a sonic work that is dusted with electronica and extensive tech production whilst paying homage to roots firmly planted in hip hop.
