On November 14, 2025, ‘Young, Old, Short & Tall’ by Jairic was released, along with an accompanying music video on Rich Air Music. It wrapped the lead singles for his EP n=40, scheduled for December 5, 2025. The series quickly caught the attention of Wonderland Magazine, NOTION, CLASH Magazine, EARMILK, and NPR Music. Jairic enthralled crowds at Château Les Alouettes in Cannes and Villa Balbiano on Lake Como, while jumping in live for the Paris premiere of Azur. Spanning work in France, Italy, Prague, and the U.S., his catalog sits at about 2 million streams. With a hands-on approach to writing, production, and vocals, he pairs it with visuals, blending tailored scenes with unvarnished bite, holding ground where rap crosses into cinema and the fashion world.

Jairic came up in Detroit, Michigan, amid family sounds, and bases out of Cannes these days—he got going on hip-hop production for area talents before locking into his bold, line-crossing aesthetic. Influences run from Nas and Wu-Tang Clan to Detroit’s underbelly, classic funk lines, ’60s rock energy, and soundtrack builds, fueling thick lyricism atop beats that refuse to be labeled. ‘Stick Figaro’ stands as a hip-hop spark for ears on 21 Savage, Yung Thug, Playboi Carti, or A$AP Mob, priming this next wave.

Watch ‘Young, Old, Short & Tall’:

On ‘Young, Old, Short & Tall’, a hook vocal sets the snare early, then Jairic‘s pressed verses glide across a backing track tuned for drive and craft. Distortion layers thicken as the piece advances, honing the frame for his locked-in phrasing. The Bastien Leblanc-directed video unfolds like a hall-of-mirrors exercise in self-confrontation, with Jairic not just owning the frame but splitting into a spectral duplicate that alternates his every move through the mansion’s gleaming halls. This replication nods to the track’s core tension, implying a fractured sense of self amid life’s multiplicities: the young hustler staring down his older, battle-scarred reflection, or the compact Detroit kid expanding into the tall shadows of European excess.

Jairic had this to say: “There are so many beautiful people in the world—and then there’s a ton of hate and doubt. Be strong. Keep forging and let the fire burn inside. There are a thousand reasons to stop—forget them.“
