JB Scofield sees no limit to where his music will take him. Like the ‘Prison Break’ lead character
that he borrows his alias from, the rising rapper refuses to be locked down by expectations. The
24-year-old was born in Amsterdam and moved to Leicester when he was 15, immersing himself in
the local music scene. He built a reputation locally before his name began spilled out of the city
thanks to freestyle platforms such as GRMdaily, Link Up TV and JDZmedia.

JB soon caught the attention of Dutch star Sevn Alias with his ‘Last Night In Leicester City’ video,
which saw him channeling his excitement at LCFC’s Premier League victory over a beat by
Holland’s Esko. This lead to the pair collaborating on ‘Mandem’, which amassed over 5 million
YouTube views, 4 million Spotify streams, and had JB playing the track to 20,000 people at
Amsterdam’s Encore Festival.

In January 2017 his versatile independently released debut mixtape, ‘Scoseason’, reached number 8 in the UK Hip-Hop/Rap charts and boasts guest appearances from fellow Midlands
representatives Young T & Bugsey and East London heavy-hitter Yxng Bane.

JB Scofield has now mastered his sound as you hear on records like ‘Stretch It’, ‘OK OK’ & ‘L.I.T’ – ready to take things to new height in the coming years!
