The rising voice of West Coast lyricism, Jwalt returns with Every Version of Me, a fearless and multifaceted sophomore album out now via Creative Theory LLC / Create Music Group. Executive produced by hip-hop legend Sway Calloway, the 13-track album reflects Jwalt’s dual journey — growing up in Oakland and evolving as a young man while attending NYU in New York. The result is a collection of songs that blend storytelling, culture, and celebration into one cohesive artistic statement. Download / Stream here.
Jwalt sets the tone with “Love Myself,” a fan-favorite that marked a personal and professional milestone as his first charting single on the iTunes Top 100. Rooted in vulnerability and lyrical reflection, it’s a record about choosing yourself even amid struggles. That identical emotional transparency drives “Graduation,” a classic boom-bap track that closes the album, chronicling Jwalt’s balance between education and artistry — detailing moments of doubt, hustle, and future vision. “Bay 2 NY” is a coast-bridging anthem featuring Seiji Oda, paying tribute to both cities by fusing Bay Area bounce with East Coast grit.
The newest single, “STUPID,” flips the tone with high energy and West Coast charisma, produced by LA’s Ethos and recorded at Harmony Samuels’ studio. It taps into the DNA of artists like YG and Dom Kennedy — slick, cool, and unapologetically West. Elsewhere, Jwalt taps into his community with featuresfrom Stunnaman02, 1100Himself, and Shante while honoring the late Angus Cloud with a powerful interlude that adds personal resonance and reflection to the album.
With production from P-Lo, DJ Synchro, Clay Dough, Dom Bailey, and more, Every Version of Me is not just a title — it’s a declaration. “This isn’t just my story,” says Jwalt. “It’s a reminder to embrace every side of who you are. There’s beauty in all of it.”
