Boston continues to produce voices that reflect its depth and character, and Noonsz Debonair is rising as one of its most compelling. Born and raised in Mattapan, Noonsz carries the soul of his city into every record, translating real-life experiences into music that feels honest, layered, and emotionally rich. His sound speaks to struggle and triumph alike, making his artistry both personal and widely relatable.
With his latest release, “Needed You / Why U Wanna Change”, featuring Jake.Is.Next, Noonsz delivers one of the most impactful collaborations to come out of Boston in recent years. The record brings together vulnerability, smooth R&B energy, and street-rooted realism, filling a long-standing gap in the city’s sound. This release does not simply add to Noonsz’s catalog. It confirms his position as one of Boston’s most promising and versatile artists, and a true representative of the city’s next wave.
The chemistry between Noonsz and Jake.Is.Next feels natural and unforced.

Jake.Is.Next complements the record with depth and contrast, creating a track that feels cohesive, intentional, and emotionally honest. Together, they craft a song that explores love, change, and emotional distance in a way that resonates far beyond the city it came from.
The official video expands the story with strong visual symbolism. The leading lady serves as the focal point, representing desire and emotional focus, followed by a powerful scene featuring a woman dressed in all red, symbolizing the woman Jake.Is.Next longs for. Directed by @Nephss, @vrtu, @iamurbansoul, and @Sh0tbynick, with behind-the-scenes footage by @chasinclips, the visual presentation matches the music’s tone with clarity and purpose, enhancing the emotional weight of the record.
What separates Noonsz Debonair from his peers is his effortless ability to blend rap and R&B without losing authenticity. He can deliver sharp, grounded lyrics rooted in real experiences, then transition seamlessly into smooth, melodic hooks that touch on love, pain, and growth. That versatility is not trend-driven. It is the result of an artist who understands his voice and refuses to be boxed in.
Noonsz’s music reflects his journey. The obstacles he has faced, the lessons learned along the way, and the hunger to rise above circumstance are all present in his work. With a distinct tone, confident delivery, and clear artistic direction, he continues to build momentum and expand his reach.
