When Leon Bridges tips you on a new act, you listen. John Givez, a rapper from San Diego, is the artist that Leon has mentioned, and, despite the fact that you would expect him to be a singer, John is a rapper, and he's a very good one at that. If this is the first time that you've ever heard of John, you're going to be asking yourself why you've never heard of him before, because with a track like "Elementary Trill", his appeal is obvious. As the first track from his forthcoming album, Soul Rebel, too, Givez is definitely a rapper that you're going to want to follow from here on out.
