Taken from « Deeper Than Rap », his album available exclusively on jomokays.com, « Before The Break Up » is Track 7 that captures the most painful instant of a relationship: that suspended moment where love begins to crack, where words collide with silence and pride still refuses to let go. The music video unfolds across two parallel spaces, Jomo Kays alone in his studio absorbed by his music, and his partner withdrawn on her phone, two people physically close yet separated by a silent void. Unsent letters drift through the frames like unexpressed feelings, while argument scenes show two people speaking at each other without ever truly listening. Furtive glances at a watch, at a phone: the countdown is running. One line says it all: « I’ve been trying to get it right, but you don’t seem to think I’m trying ». To be discovered via Slash Music.

Jomo Kays, a sincere journey between truth and evolution
Born in Namibia and raised in the United Kingdom, Jomo Kays is only 21 years old and already builds his music like an open-air diary. A self-taught creator since his teenage years, he weaves a universe at the crossroads of contemporary R&B and hip-hop, carried by an honest and visceral writing style. His listeners often describe him as a soothing voice, a companion through their own emotions. Fully committed to his artistic vision, he produces most of his work from his own creative space, shaping a sound that is authentic and deeply personal.
« Deeper Than Rap » is designed as a direct connection with his audience, far from the logic of streaming platforms. Between raw sincerity and constant evolution, Jomo Kays carves a singular path where every word counts and every silence carries weight. His story is only just beginning, and everything suggests it is far from over: keep your eyes open.
