We had the chance to sit down and chat with San Diego, California recording artist Jevy about his latest mixtape S.N.A.P. Theory. The mixtape follows Jevy’s last mixtape Cigars & Ciroc both available for listen and download on DatPiff and HotNewHipHop. After much anticipation of the album WC got to chat with Jevy for a bit and figure out his mentality behind S.N.A.P. Theory and how he as an musician develops with every passing album. I must say, the mixtape has great energy, convey’s a great message and represents what the title implies. (Success Now A Priority). Take the time and read the interview then listen to the track and figure out which is your favorite.

One of my favorite San Diego hip hop artists, Jevy, recently released his newest album S.N.A.P. Theory, which we were lucky enough to get a copy of. The above song will give you just a taste of how amazing and deep Jevy's lyrical abilities are. This is a definite MUST listen to!
I must admit that this album has been playing non-stop on my iPhone. I love it!

Jevy has just released his mixtape ‘S.N.A.P. Theory’ and ‘Success Now A Priority’ is not just what the title stands for but what the project is all about. The Seattle-born rapper who now resides in Southern California says himself, “it is a state of mind and a lifestyle that I feel millions of people can relate to.” Jevy believes in himself and his talent and that is what comes through on this mixtape. It is all about inspiring the listener as he himself talks about trying to make it big. - MAYA'S MUSIC MOMENTS
With every submission that comes in through our Gmail, there’s usually always a bio on the artist that sent in the submission. These bios will come packed with accolades and accomplishments that the artist has gained over their careers. Reading through Jevy’s pedigree made us feel late for having not heard of this MC before.
This SoCal MC has already opened up for MMG’s own Wale, Meek Mill and Rockie Fresh on the northwestern leg of a recent tour. Those were just a few of the major label names that this artist has been associated and the pleasure of working with.
And S.N.A.P. Theory provides 18 tracks of solid music that justify why he’s had these opportunities presented before him. The track covers the full spectrum of vibes, but mostly contains statement/motivation tracks, carrying the same sentiment: Success [is] Now A Priority. From cover to cover, this is an ill project. - StraightDisrespect.com

This week, we catch up with Jevy, one of our SB7 artists on the release of his new mixtape Cigars and Ciroc. Jevy is based out of Southern California, and has provided support for Tyga, Wale, Kendrick Lamar, Travis Porter, Yo Gotti, Slaughterhouse, and has toured the Northwest with MMG artist Meek Mill.
For anyone who doesn’t follow Jevy, you will immediately notice how prolific he is across social networks and how he is always talking to his fans. To share some more insight into this creative and talented artist whose business model is pure Success, we asked him a few questions about his experience in the music industry.
What are some different types of venues/situations where you would feel really good and excited about playing?
House of Blues is definitely one of my favorite concert venues. Mainly because it offers the best of both worlds performance wise. It has that intimate set up that allows you to really engage your fans, but it’s also big enough where you can draw a big crowd which means more energy.
College arena venues would also get me pretty hyped. I have always said that the best concerts are defined by the actual crowd. I think college crowds are fun and full of wild energy which usually can make for a dope concert!
Doing a surprise concert at a high school as a signed artist is one thing I have always said I would love to do. Mainly because I would include a little bit of motivational speaking within the show to highlight something that is a huge part of my brand. Which is that anything is possible, especially when you work hard. I think music artist have a lot of power to influence younger crowds and I think that it’s important to use that power to inspire. So I definitely would be excited to do something like this.
How are you different from other artists in your genre?
One way that I feel I am different than some of the other artists in my genre is that I approach what I am doing from a business perspective. I view myself and my music as a brand. I have also made it a point to try to create my own lane/sound rather than trying to blend in with what is already out there. I think that’s important in terms of attempting to have longevity in the music game.
What is a source of inspiration when you are feeling stuck on something?
For me a source of inspiration when I am stuck on something is to get in the car and drive while listening to previous music that I have made. That usually brings inspiration and gets my creativity back on track.
What is the biggest risk you’ve ever taken?
I think really deciding to pursue music on a serious level is the biggest risk I have ever taken. Mainly because it has become such a big part of life with all of the success that we have had. I can call it a risk because considering everything that me and my team has invested into seeing the Jevy brand reach the level of success that we are looking to reach, there is a lot riding on it. I can’t really imagine how it would feel to not succeed. That’s why we all feel like losing is not an option!
