Jaylen Hill otherwise know as “NAT1VE!” is a Connecticut based artist, producer, songwriter, & photographer. NAT1VE! started out producing music in 2016, expressing himself & connecting with his audience with a collection of beat tapes , & features with CT based collective Moneysinart. He has worked heavily with Senseibatch, Dax Gotti , MTLGEAR, Texako, & Realyungphil. From aggressive, 808 driven beats, or changing his tone to sample driven loops & monotone - Lofi drums. Almost everything sounds cohesive & intentional. You can see he’s taking more of an architectural role with his music combining his style of Boom Bap Melodies over trap drums, staying true to his self and his sound. NAT1VE! has no limits when it comes to creating something captivating & so deep you can almost feel what he’s trying to say without him having to say it. 
 - With influences all genres of Dancehall, Reggae, Rap, Hip Hop, R&B, Drum & Bass, Alternative Rock, Heavy Metal, Pop, Trap, Cloud Rap; the range speaks for its self. His most recent projects “NAT1VE! Vs. MTLGEAR V.1” & “It’s all the same” are stamped in the CT music scene and im interested to see where NAT1VE! Goes next with his sound that seems to be forever changing. 
HERE & NOW” is the first of many Self Produced NAT1VE! pieces. Truly an R&b experience that shows his influences & up bringing. 
 - “Beats have always been something I wanted to do. It’s always been about progressing & giving people something that they can relate too. “
