Deaux then followed up with EMPATHY in June of 2019, an emotive and incredible EP about love & control, featuring DUCKWRTH, Terrace Martin & Kehlani. in 2020 She followed up with her breakout project with the rap tape, Watch This! and Watch this! (Deluxe)– a confident and bold feat showing she can hang with the best of the best, bar for bar. you can find Jean Deaux currently working on her next album set to release Spring of 202.
