Hailing from Carson, CA, JFmoncler delivers melodic West Coast trap with pride, hustle, and heart. His music lives in the space between raw and refined—street-smart but soulful, laid-back yet emotionally sharp. As a proud Samoan artist, he brings cultural weight and personal conviction to every track. Whether he's flexing or reflecting, JF approaches the mic with melody, intention, and that distinct LA cool. His sound is rooted in community and movement—songs built for late-night drives, linkups, and leveling up.

“Wavy” started with a guitar loop— amp buzz and all. I wanted to keep that raw, organic feel intact, so I added a soft pad with a volume envelope just to lift the space around it. JF told me exactly what kind of pocket he wanted to float in, and from there I built the drums to match that energy— laid back but still knocking. I reversed a few 808s to enhance that off-kilter, “wavy” vibe. Once the beat hit, the whole room caught the wave. We were crossfaded off Cayman Jack and grabba blunts— one of those sessions where the energy just locked in.

“Just Kick It” was built off a spontaneous moment. I was noodling on the piano, not thinking too much, and JF heard something in it immediately. He’s got a crazy ear for melody, and once he caught the idea, it was a wrap. I laid the chords down clean, layered in a vocal chop for texture, and then tailored the drums to the pocket he wanted to hit. After we had everything tracked, JF asked to open the record with a sample of Xscape’s Just Kickin’ It—a nod to the classics and the culture. That’s heritage. We both came up on that R&B, so it felt like a full-circle moment.

“Disrespectful” was built more strategically. We were going through Splice looking for female vocal textures— because after LA Baby, we knew that formula hit. We found a vocal we liked, then I laid down some Wurlitzer chords to sit under it. That’s when JF started beatboxing the rhythm he heard, and I matched it with a drum pattern. Then he sang a counter-melody, which I played back using a Serum synth. We doubled the chord part with a soft pad to round it out. Once everything was locked, the energy in the room turned up. JF laced the vocals not long after. The whole thing came together like clockwork.
