JUMEX drops a new video for his song “LONER.” Aptly titled, the video comes out on Valentine’s Day, what may be the loneliest day of the year for some and what also happens to be JUMEX’s birthday. “LONER,” a melodic song that stretches from alt rock to rap and captures teenage angst and embraces isolation – the track has already amassed over 2 million plays across all streaming platforms.
The “LONER” video picks up where his 4-million viewed “TRAPPED” video left off, in his childhood bedroom and follows JUMEX to a Valentine’s Day dance where he performs – a concept conceived by JUMEX and co-directed by JUMEX and Kyle Cogan.
Recently, No Jumper posed the question, “Is [JUMEX] the ultimate Soundcloud rapper?” Evident by this song, he is that and much more. “LONER” speaks to JUMEX‘s heavy influences My Chemical Romance and Kurt Cobain while also featuring a cameo in the video from Lil Peep collaborator Makonnen as his ride to the dance.
JUMEX’s “TRAPPED” video closes with “Are You A Loner, Do You Feel Trapped, Call, FaceTime or Text me: 630-670-7289.” The message resonated and he began receiving thousands of texts a day from fans in need of connection. In response to this JUMEX has partnered with Chicago based suicide prevention and mental health education non-profit, Hope For The Day (hftd.org).
JUMEX grew up in the suburbs outside of Chicago. Since releasing “TRAPPED,” he has gained support from heavyweight producers like DJ Snake, Skrillex and Flosstradamus. “TRAPPED” and “LONER” were also featured on Lyrical Lemonade’s weekly “Top 25” Spotify playlist just weeks after they were played during Taco’s DJ set at Camp Flog Gnaw 2018. YouTube selected JUMEX as their first Trending Artist on the Rise of 2019 and his first profile was on the influential Elevator Mag blog.
