the 7th studio album from jaron ikner - coming soon
#22 STATUS QUO (PROD. BY RUBIX)
Recorded by: Blaine Coffee
Streams/Views: 6490
Released: NOVEMBER 2017
Status Quo was the lead single to When The Stars Fell produced by Rubix. I have a deep background in the EDM world as I actually started my career as a Drum and Bass Emcee, so I felt very comfortable over the high energy beat provided by Rubix. This album also introduced visual elements to the "Black One Multiverse Saga" which was a series of connected multimedia events tied together by a multi-dimensional story.
#23 SING LIFE (FEAT. LIZZY PAGE AND JUS DORIAN)
Recorded by: Blaine Coffee
Streams/Views: 6447
Released: NOVEMBER 2017
When The Stars Fell was the second compliation album I put together featuring friends from the Starstruck Collective. This particular song is still one of my most popular songs to this day as it gets a lot of play overseas and has been featured in a couple of tik tok videos that got some traction. It's always fun to collaborate with the homies and this one is one of my favorites.
#24 UNTITLED
Recorded by: Jaron Ikner
Streams/Views: 5851
Released: October 2019
Definitely the most introspective track on "Jaron Ikner", Untitled is the closing track on the album. The second verse is actually like a top 5 verse of my career in my personal opinion. The music video was featured in my series "Moire", which was a 6 part series featuring a combination of short films, interviews and music video. I never dropped the final episode. This particular episode featured a clip from Cycle 47 starring Cuzn It (RIP).
#25 CATHEDRAL CHANDELIERS (PROD. BY RUBIX)
Recorded by: Jaron Ikner
Streams/Views: 5576
Released: October 2019
Produced by Rubix, one of my favorite producers in Arizona. I knew I need something that was boppy but still allowed me room to get creative. I had actually wrote the chorus back in 2012 and sat on it for 7 years before using it on this track. The title is also probably one of the biggest examples where I never actually say the name of the song in the song. I do this alot for some reason. In this case, "Dirty Halos" would have probably been a more logical name but instead called it Cathedral Chandeliers because in my head, they are always dusty and dirty.
#26 BELOW THE HEAVENS
Recorded by: The Fonzarelli Project
Streams/Views: 5574
Released: NOVEMBER 2021
Below The Heavens is the opening song on my album, The Setting Sun. It was the last song I wrote for the album. After listening to the project, I knew that I needed something aggressive to start the album off and this track fit perfectly.
#27 BE FREE (Prod. by Swaa)
Recorded by: Blaine Coffee
Streams/Views: 5433
Released: NOVEMBER 2017
Be Free was the lead single from my album, Breaking Infinity. This is one of the rare instances where I used outside production on a lead single for a project. The beat just spoke to me and I knew it would be a strong single to roll with. The music video is a personal favorite as it was shot in Globe, AZ, during some downtime while working as assistant director on The System.
#28 FACTS
Recorded by: The Fonzarelli Project For Numenaris Studios
Streams/Views: 4985
Released: NOVEMBER 2021
Facts is the lead single to my album, The Setting Sun. I always like high-energy songs like this one and this song is a staple in most of my performances. This song talks a little shit while having fun at the same time. The video was a blast to shoot too.
#29 GREEDY (LIZZY PAGE FEATURING JOSEPH BILLS AND BLACK 1)
Recorded by: Jaron Ikner
Streams/Views: 4705
Released: NOVEMBER 2018
This track was featured on "The Farmer's Daughter" an EP I produced for Lizzy Page. This track featured fire ass verses from everyone and was always fun to perform at concerts. This teamup was legendary and it really made an impression on those who heard it. I really like the beat I put together for this track and Lizzy smashes as the anchor on the track.
#30 FOR THE STARS
Recorded by: Jaron Ikner
Streams/Views: 4406
Released: DECEMBER 2018
Originally, this track was an exclusive track featured on my short film, continuum. This song hits for me personally because of the honesty of my position in the artistic world. "I'm not Diddy, I'm not Murs" is a comment on the fine balance between the two vastly different identities when it comes to hip hop. I just want to create music and not be placed in a box.
#31 PRAY (FEAT. MARLEY B)
Recorded by: Jaron Ikner
Streams/Views: 4359
Released: OCTOBER 2019
One of my personal favorite tracks, I teamed up with my brother, the legend Marley B on this track. I will sometimes open up my sets with this track because of the high energy it brings.
#32 FATHER
Recorded by: Jaron Ikner
Streams/Views: 4245
Released: OCTOBER 2019
A deep cut from "JARON IKNER", I think people thought that this track was going to be about my deceased father based on the tone and theme of the album. However, this track is a just a high energy track where I talk my shit. The "Father" aspect comes from me stating that I fathered a lot of what is seen in the scene out here nowadays. That's up to you to determined if that's actually true or not. ;)
#33 INTRO (FEAT. BARBARA IKNER)
Recorded by: Jaron Ikner
Streams/Views: 3975
Released: OCTOBER 2020
This is by far my favorite intro on an album that I have made so far. In this intro, I sit down with my mother and ask her why she named me Jaron. The answer is pretty straightforward but it acts as honest insight into my life and my deep connection with music.
#34 So Help me gawd
Recorded by: Jaron Ikner
Streams/Views: 3854
Released: November 2018
The opening track on "Arizona Kanye", I think I surprised a few people with the aggressiveness of this song and the project as a whole. I knew I had some things to say and the beat rang out to me. I originally wrote the song "Ego Trippin" over that beat but decided to try again and get a little more dark and more aggressive. The video was also a part of the bigger short film "CONTINUUM" which was one of my first real forrays in musical short filmmaking.
#35 savior
Recorded by: Jaron Ikner
Streams/Views: 3393
Released: October 2020
When I first found the sample I used for Savior, it hit me like a mack truck. I knew I wanted to get deep and somewhat religious on this track. This song was one of the last songs I wrote for my self titled album and is one of my personal favorite to this day.
#36 xerox
Recorded by: Jaron Ikner
Streams/Views: 3393
Released: October 2020
After releasing Arizona Kanye 2, I wanted to go right back in and continue the momentum. This led to me recording Arizona Kanye 3. I would up making visuals for every song on that project, but the video for XEROX was one of the most fun to make. I also enjoy performing this song and the second verse tends to get the crowd going.
#37 what you need featuring lizzy page
Recorded by: Jaron Ikner
Streams/Views: 3362
Released: September 2019
This song was made mostly because we (Starstruck) were booked for the Goldrush Festival in 2019. This is the biggest festival I have ever performed in my career. I knew that I needed a certified banger so I teamed up with my sis, Lizzy Page, to make something for that kind of crowd. The song went over well and ended up on my album "Jaron Ikner"
#38 Swoosh
Recorded by: Jaron Ikner
Streams/Views: 2858
Released: November 2018
Arizona Kanye dropped in November of 2018 and was a part of the "meteor shower" run of 5 eps released over 6 weeks. "swoosh" was the last song I wrote for "Arizona Kanye", that ep started a whole new era in my career as I gained a bunch of new attention and fans from the effort.
#39 Simulation theory featuring megaran (prod. by samday)
Recorded by: Jaron Ikner
Streams/Views: 2836
Released: December 2017
The second I heard this beat from the pack I got from producer, SAMDAY, I knew that it would going to go on Breaking Infinity and that it would feature MegaRan. MegaRan is, by far, one of my favorite artists to collaborate with as he is so potent with the bars. Plus, with the video game vibe and the concept of Simulation Theory, I knew he would float on this and he sure did.
#40 Stargazing (prod. by Jaron Ikner)
Recorded by: Blaine Coffee
Streams/Views: 2664
Released: December 2017
This song is the first song on my album, Breaking Infinity. I always like to start my album with a high-energy song and this song did the trick for me. Breaking Infinity experiments a lot with synths and interesting sounds and this beat is a more fun example of some of the production I did for that album.
