“Minted,” a standout track from her EP Reaping Season, is a blast of vibrant energy from Roxanne Smith, better known by her stage name Jettapayne, who was born in Dayton and currently resides in Las Vegas. This lively anthem, which was released on June 19, 2025, is perfect for summer playlists and highlights Jettapayne’s dynamic flow and captivating presence.
“Minted” captures attention right away with its catchy beat and upbeat production. The beat, which was created by the artist herself, finds a balance between sophisticated instrumentation and an underground edge. The groove is driven by percussion kicks and sharp snares, and the track feels both radio-ready and anchored in Jettapayne’s own style thanks to the playful air provided by buoyant keyboard melodies.
Jettapayne has a great voice. Her delivery glides smoothly over the beat with clear enunciation and rhythmic flair, exuding confidence and captivating interest. It’s easy to play again because of the catchy and joyous chorus. Each verse is confident, lighthearted, and reflective of her journey; it feels like a conversation.
Since making her debut in 2022 with the poignant single “Meant That Shìt,” Jettapayne has developed a story of fortitude, remembrance, and development. Since releasing her first EP, which paid tribute to her late mother’s legacy, she has released powerful songs like “Broke Bitch” and “Code Blue,” the latter of which was inspired by her experience surviving domestic abuse and a coma. As an ardent emcee and veteran of the Air Force, Jettapayne’s music is powerful and intimate, influenced by tenacity and experience.
