On Cupchairs Reacts, 2018 by Jase | Cupchairs.com

Today on Cupchairs Reacts, I’m listening to 2018 by Jase—an alternative pop/hip hop track that blends smooth rhythm, clean production, and some honest storytelling about looking back on a pivotal year.

Jase cites artists like Linkin Park, Ren, Eminem, Ed Sheeran, and Kanye as influences, and you can hear that crossover in his sound—lyrically focused, emotionally grounded, but still catchy and accessible.

2018 opens with a looped, sample-like guitar that instantly gives off Ed Sheeran meets hip-hop energy, backed by impactful drums and a boomy bass synth that give the song its weight. Vocally, Jase keeps things clean, clear, and expressive—with just enough breathiness and emotion to keep it feeling real.

The lyrics look back at friendships, losses, regrets, and lessons learned—with a focus on growth and acceptance. He’s not trying to rewrite the past, just make sense of it. And that final message—about not changing anything because it led him to the present—hits quietly, but deeply.

If you’re into music that’s personal, polished, and easy to connect with, 2018 is worth your time.

About the Track:

2018 is the second single from Jase’s upcoming album. Reflective and emotionally driven, the track captures that moment when looking back becomes a step forward. It’s about what we carry with us—and what we choose to leave behind.
