Jairic Blends Swagger and Cinematic Flair on ‘Young, Old, Short & Tall’

Detroit-born, Cannes-based musician, producer, and storyteller Jairic returns with “Young, Old, Short & Tall”, the final single ahead of his forthcoming EP n =40. The track is a masterclass in cinematic hip-hop, marrying lyrical precision with bold, genre-defying production. Opening with a hook that instantly latches onto the ear, Jairic’s rapid-fire delivery rides over a high-energy instrumental brimming with swagger, finesse, and a rising distortion that pushes the track to thrilling heights.

True to his signature style, Jairic’s approach balances grit and grandeur. The accompanying video, directed by Bastien Leblanc, amplifies this duality: the artist navigates a luxurious mansion with playful energy, dropping clever quips and choreographed movements that contrast sharply with the rawness of his performance. It’s a visual extension of the track’s tension between underground edge and high-gloss spectacle.

Across his body of work, Jairic proves himself as a self-contained force: every beat, lyric, and visual is fully self-written, self-produced, and self-performed. Drawing on influences from Detroit’s underground hip-hop, Nas, Wu-Tang, classic funk, 60s rock, and cinematic scoring, he crafts music that feels both deeply personal and universally magnetic. “Young, Old, Short & Tall” cements his rising status at the intersection of music, film, and fashion, showcasing a sound that’s as energetic as it is uncompromising.

For fans of 21 Savage, Playboi Carti, and the experimental edges of modern hip-hop, Jairic’s latest single delivers both charisma and craft, a reminder that he is a storyteller capable of commanding any space, studio, stage, or screen.
