Born in Atlanta but raised in Los Angeles, Kent Jamz first founded OverDoz. in 2008 alongside Cream, Joon, and P. Following a slew of mixtapes, the outfit signed a deal with RCA and dropped their debut album, 2008, in 2017. Following the album's release, Jamz started working with fellow L.A. rapper Buddy, who had been introduced to Jamz by Pharrell Williams a few years earlier. The pair, who had bonded over music, started to help each other write and produce their own solo albums just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. With both projects put on hold, they issued the collaborative EP Janktape, Vol. 1 as a precursor to their own material. Jamz’s debut album eventually dropped in 2022, with Fanclub featuring collaborations with the likes of GoodJoon (aka Joon), Buddy, and A$AP Ferg. ~ Rich Wilson, Rovi

HeatWave
Kent Jamz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You niggas ain't startin' no waves
Been rockin' that Bape way back in 2008
Niggas actin' like groupies, tryna get backstage
Muhfuckas just takin' up space
Changed my Vans and the skates
Hit World on Wheels, Tuesday's I'm goin' on dates
I don't gotta shop at the mall, or camp out with y'all
They send the shit, straight to my place

Futuristic team, I got these futuristic dream
Yeah this that chain stitch, human made shit
Got no patience for that fake shit
Goin' ape shit, in a cactus plant
Flea market, with Jorja Smith
In the camo prints, smokin' cannabis
Finna take her back to the Mondrian, and I (yeah, look)

Can't stop, won't stop
'Til I'm smokin' weed with RiRi
At the Studi- fox, my cargos, need the mileage, bish
See my goal, goal, from '04, you can't cop it
Cats tried to copy
Like I ain't been in Jumpmans since walkmans and floppys
And I need India Love in my hotel suite
With nothing on but a Bape thong and my three peat hoodie
Everything say B-A-P-E
Everything got red box, Supreme on it, uh
She said why? She said why, why?
Why everything say B-A-P-E?
Why everything got red box, Supreme on it?
Uh Hypebeast, yeah uh
(B-a-p-e) I need Virgil to sign my Off-White, uh (red box Supreme)
Say I need Karrueche in my room tonight, yeah, ooh
I need Scott to put all my shit to the side
And more custom BAPE, snowboard, gettin' it tonight, yeah (yeah)

These-these niggas ain't startin' no waves
These niggas ain't startin' no waves
Yeah, it's in the heat club, in the heat club

It's a whole 'nother wave on the way
It's a whole 'nother wave on the way
Whole 'nother wave on the way
It's a whole 'nother wave on the way
It's a whole 'nother wave on the way
It's a whole 'nother wave on the way

Whole 'nother wave on the way
It's a whole 'nother wave on the way
