"Nobody needs to write a bio for me. This… Read Full Bio ↴In the words of SAINt JHN:
"Nobody needs to write a bio for me. This is stupid. My name is SAINt JHN, that's my real name, it's spelled a little different tho. I'm from Brooklyn, I spent half of my childhood growing up in Georgetown, Guyana. I was dirt poor in Brooklyn and some version of rich in Guyana, because apparently 2 nickles can buy you a sports car in a 3rd world country. Who knew?! I'm from a SUPER Christian household where my mom forced us to go to every church imaginable, EVERY, SINGLE, WEEK! I hated it. I still won't go to church to this day. I'm a product of a father that was a hustler, preacher for a mother and a rapper for an older brother. Jay z and Beenie Man were my musical hero's growing up. I don't know how to describe the music I make, don't know what genre it belongs to and I don't exactly care. I make what I want to hear and paint the pictures that I want to see in the world. I got my start writing songs for other people, I got lucky I don't know how that happened but I did. I wrote some records for Usher, Kiesza, Gorgon City and a few other people. I was having success, but then I quit, cause who wants to live their dreams through someone else's eyes. So I put out my first project, Collection One. And here we are now, I hope you like whatever comes next cause I have no fvcking idea!"
SAINt JHN has since released his third studio album "While The World Was Burning".

Been through fuckin' Hell, ridin' on one way
I can fuckin' tell, you still love me still
They won't like my way, I say let
I don't believe in the wedding bells, I don't believe in lust
She don't believe in a fairy tale, she don't believe in God
I told her, "Girl, when the summer chills, you get way too dark"
She don't believe in the antidote, she wanna feel the pain
And every night is a holiday, it all feels the same
I never die, never disappear, they're gonna know my name
We both know, when you're up this high only the ceilings change
I can fuckin' tell, you still love me still
Been through fuckin' Hell, ridin' on one way
I can fuckin' tell, you still love me still
Girl it never fails, you like, "This time it's real"
I can fuckin' tell, you still love me still
We done been through Hell, ridin' on one way
I can fuckin' tell, you still love me still
They wan' ride my wave, I say let 'em sail
Front of my mind, you all night
Champagne, champagne in nights
We love fresh trims alright
'Cause I know high life's your time
And I'm just a simple guy from the street when the gun go off
I'm just a simple man from the dark with the sun go out
I just wanna' ride in a Porsche, with the top and the window off
'Cause I ain't never learned to play, deathbed or basketball
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
I can fuckin' tell, you still love me still
Been through fuckin' Hell, ridin' on one way
I can fuckin' tell, you still love me still
Girl it never fails, you like, "This time it's real"
I can fuckin' tell, you still love me still
We done been through Hell, ridin' on one way
I can fuckin' tell, you still love me still
They wan' ride my wave, I say let 'em sail

[Verse 1]
I don't believe in the wedding bells, I don't believe in us
She don't believe in a fairy tale, she don't believe in God
I told the girl "When the summer chills, you get way too dark"
She stood there with a left hand on a gun, right hand on her heart
She don't believe in the antidote, she wanna feel the pain
And every night is a holiday, it all feels the same
I never die, never disappear, they're gonna know my name
We both know, when you're up this high only the ceilings change

They won't ride my wave, I say let 'em sail
[Verse 2]
In front of my mind you all night
Champagne, champagne in nights
We love fresh trims alright
'Cause I know high life, it's your time
And I'm just a simple guy from the street when the gun go off
I'm just a simple man from the dark with the sun go out
I just wanna' ride in a Porsche, with the top and the window off
'Cause I ain't never learned to play, deathbed or basketball
[Chorus]
I can fuckin' tell, you still love me still
Been through fuckin' Hell, ridin' on one way
I can fuckin' tell, you still love me still
Girl it never fails, you like "This time it's real"
I can fuckin' tell, you still love me still
We done been through Hell, ridin' on one way
I can fuckin' tell, you still love me still
They won't ride my wave, I say let 'em sail

Ran into this guy a couple weeks ago in Hollywood.
He saw me notice him, stopped his conversation, walked over to say hi & take a picture w me. He loves his fans & everything that comes out of his mouth is a banger.
