In this new entry in our ‘Diamonds In The Rough’ category, we would like to introduce you to frequenly featured, upcoming artist J. Eka and his brand new single titled “Waterfall” featuring KAIROS*.
South East London’s genre-defying artist J. Eka returns with *Waterfall*—a hypnotic blend of rap and R\&B that marks his most fluid, melodic release to date. Available on all major streaming platforms, “Waterfall” features rising star KAIROS* and production from acclaimed South London producer and engineer 3AM, known for his work with Bellah, Cristale, and Stylo G.
“Waterfall” is a sonic deep dive into sensuality, desire, and emotional connection. J. Eka’s pen is razor-sharp as ever, gliding effortlessly through verses filled with playful charm and lyrical finesse. His delivery exudes confidence, yet leaves room for vulnerability—a balance that’s become signature to his sound. On the hook, KAIROS* lends his evocative vocals, infusing the track with a velvety warmth reminiscent of PARTYNEXTDOOR and Don Toliver. The chemistry between the two artists is undeniable, and 3AM’s lush, atmospheric production brings it all to life with moody synths, subtle percussion, and polished finesse.
This latest release follows J. Eka’s impressive run with *Talk Less* (ft. Jatz) and *Does He Know?* (ft. Morgan Munroe), but “Waterfall” signals a new chapter—a smoother, more R&B-leaning direction that still retains his lyrical grit and stylish edge.
