“The night [Roc Nation co-founder Tyran Smith], played a preview of SAINt JHN’s new abum, I drove home listening to Collection One and had an immediate sonic connection to his music,” Biggs tells Billboard. “He will be the next biggest artist and brand in the world.” Obviously that remains to be seen, but SAINt JHN has been spotted hanging out with Hov, Diddy and Meek Mill lately.
