Fast-rising, genre-defying alt/hip-hop duo JVB officially kick off a brand-new era...

...with the announcement of their highly-anticipated third studio album HYPERYOUTH (out 15 August via RCA Records) alongside the release of the title track and LIVE RIGHT, which arrive on the heels of their energetic collab with JPEGMAFIA, WASSUP.

"These songs really encapsulate the tone and themes of the new album, but from different perspectives. Where HYPERYOUTH is a frenetic, high energy, and sample-heavy celebration of the music and artists we continue to be inspired by. LIVE RIGHT is anthemic and showcases the exciting-but-complicated relationship we have with growing up", say the duo of their new drops.
  
JVB grow bolder, braver and louder, turning up the volume on their swag as they skillfully traverse a smash and grab collision of 90s hip-hop, drum ‘n’ bass and decades-spanning pop culture references while remaining undeniably themselves. They’re carving out their own niche with a signature sound that’s equal-parts nostalgic yet futuristic, authentic and infectious while still on a mission to one day open a Cheesecake Factory in their hometown.

As eclectic and hard-hitting as ever, HYPERYOUTH has all the hallmarks of the best of JVB, inclusive of Joey’s production (sample-heavy and fully produced in his State College, PA bedroom), while also digging deeper thematically, carrying a message of growing up without getting old.

It weaves its way throughout the album, a marked evolution for the pair that still marries elements from their early hits and critically acclaimed projects PUNK TACTICS (its title track was just Certified RIAA Gold) and NO HANDS.
