After an 18-month break, the Mobo-nominated British rap power Jbee has finally broken his silence with the release of his long-awaited single ‘Deja Vu’. The song was released on November 14, 2024 and marks a powerful comeback, which fortifies JBEE’s reputation as one of British rapeseed most convincing upward storytellers. With its signature mixture of drill infused, melodic beats and introspective lyric that cuts deeply, ‘Deja Vu’ is more than just a return-it is a boldly new musical chapter for the North London rapper.
Centered on the universal concept Déjà vu, the song takes the listeners on a sound journey and addresses the recurring themes and moments of life that feel eerily acquainted. Its atmospheric, LO-Fi production-in layers with sharp, drill-inspired percussion-reflects the track’s reflective tone and creates a gripping atmosphere. JBEE’s raw delivery and emotional hook reason deeply, and offer a dynamic listening experience that linger long after the track is over. Lyrically, he explores cycles of personal growth and endurance, and causes living images and emotional depths that distinguish “Deja Vu” as a prominent moment in his discography.
For JBEE, this single is not just a comeback – it’s a statement. It’s his first new music since he was released HBK Mixtape last summer, and it has not disappointed anyone. The fans have shouted after the rapper’s return, and ‘Deja Vu’ delivers on all fronts and gives a raw and intimate insight into JBEE’s journey through peaks and valleys. The single has already received a lot of attention, with the accompanying video that received over 100,000 views within a few days after it was released, which further inflates the excitement for this new era.
After a rapid rise, bloated by hits such as Brit Certified Silver songs “4am” and the viral “Next Up” freestyle, JBEE’s year-long break fans were longing for more.

Now, with over half a billion global streams under the belt and critic tributes from heavyweights in the industry, JBEE is back to consolidate its status as one of the most vital musical voices in British rap.
