ISHVES* ( pronounced as “issues” ) is the voice of a new wave — blending pop, hip-hop, punk, and indie into a genre-defiant sound. Hailing from Augusta, Georgia, the 18-year-old rapper, artist, and engineer is carving out his own lane in the underground scene, where experimentation, energy, and self-expression rule.
ISHVES* began his musical journey at 16 under the name 13thrsnwhy, eventually evolving into ISHVES before fully embracing his current moniker in 2025. The name shift marked a turning point - a rebirth that reflected a more authentic and fearless creative direction.
Inspired by artists like Izaya Tiji, XXXTENTACION, Tokyo's Revenge, and D4VD, THIRTEENTH GENERATION merges melodic vulnerability with explosive energy. His DIY ethic helped shape a distinct identity. With the release of #IGOTSPLITPERSONALITIES featuring Uxban and Vzee, followed by the standout track MOLLY with Uxban. These records not only showcased his artistic range but also marked the beginning of ROXICET (RX), a collective he founded to push the creative boundaries of underground music, bringing together Uxban, Vzee, and producer RPProds under one vision.
ISHVES’s music is a reflection of his life — a mix of chaos, creativity, heartbreak, and growth. Whether it's through hard-hitting verses or melodic choruses, each track offers a glimpse into the mind of an artist who's just getting started.
