JB Scofield

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 rapper 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 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.


2019 JB broke into the scene with viral hit “Stretch it” which later on became a FIFA 20 official soundtrack & was followed by hit single “OK OK”


JB Scofield has now mastered his sound as you hear on records like ‘Stretch It’, ‘OK OK’ & “LIT”- ready to take things to a new height!
