Musical style

During a mixed review by Nadine Smith of Pitchfork, Jasiah's musical style on his album War is described in the following manner: "Jasiah’s music is ultimately indicative of his digital origins. Even more than hyperpop, WAR takes an accelerationist approach to rap, devouring a half-decade of online scenes and styles and spitting them out into a chewed-up psychedelic combination. He screams loud enough to make you listen, but it’s hard to tell if his shouts will sustain for longer than 15 minutes."^[3]
