Jason “Jase” Oliver Dalyrimple, professionally known as Jase4Real, is stepping confidently into a new chapter of his career with the release of his solo single “Rather Be.” Known worldwide as the lead vocalist of the platinum-selling R&B group Soul For Real, Jase is reminding audiences that his voice, artistry, and message remain as relevant and impactful as ever.
Born on May 10, 1980, in Wheatley Heights, New York, Jase4Real rose to fame in the early 1990s as the youngest member of Soul For Real. Signed to Uptown Records in 1992, the group made history with their breakout hit “Candy Rain,” which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1995. The song became a defining anthem of 90s R&B and cemented Jase’s reputation as a standout vocalist with emotional depth and unmistakable tone. Soul For Real would go on to release multiple albums and continue performing globally, including recent appearances on DJ Cassidy’s Pass The Mic tour.
While remaining an integral part of Soul For Real’s legacy, Jase4Real has steadily built his solo career, beginning in the late 2000s. His debut solo album arrived in 2010, followed by a series of singles that allowed him to explore personal themes, musical growth, and creative freedom. Over the years, his solo work has reflected maturity, resilience, and a commitment to staying true to authentic R&B storytelling.
That journey comes full circle with “Rather Be,” a smooth, heartfelt single that captures Jase4Real’s evolution as an artist and as a man. Rooted in classic R&B sensibilities with a modern polish, the song centers on devotion, emotional connection, and choosing love above all else. Jase’s vocals are warm, controlled, and expressive, delivering a performance that feels both intimate and timeless.
“Rather Be” has already begun gaining international traction, charting in markets such as Iceland and Brazil, a testament to Jase4Real’s global appeal and the universal language of soul-driven music. The response has been especially meaningful for longtime fans who grew up with his voice and for new listeners discovering his solo artistry for the first time.
Now based in Atlanta, Jase4Real remains deeply active in music, releasing new material and engaging directly with fans through social media. Recent singles such as “Toast 2” and “Money Is God” further showcase his versatility, blending positivity, life experience, and soulful expression. Across his work, a consistent theme emerges: uplifting energy, emotional honesty, and music that resonates beyond trends.
Jase4Real’s return as a solo artist is not about chasing nostalgia. Instead, it represents growth, purpose, and a renewed dedication to meaningful R&B. “Rather Be” stands as a defining moment in this chapter, reinforcing that Jase’s voice still carries the power to move hearts and connect across generations.
As he continues releasing new music and expanding his reach, Jase4Real proves that true artistry only deepens with time. With “Rather Be,” he isn’t just revisiting the spotlight. He’s redefining it on his own terms.
