The roll-out of the album was polished in a way that’s rarely seen with rookie artists, beginning with the release of “Set Fire” at the end of August 2014. The reason the 16-track offering looks so meticulously groomed is because it’s been in development for the better part of four years, but its genesis can be traced back to 2007 when Jazz Cartier first met Michael Lantz—the now 25-year-old producer from Scarborough—at a downtown recording studio. Since then, Lantz and Jazz have been working closely together on Marauding In Paradise, creating a genre that Lantz likes to call “cinematic trap music” in the process.
