Kylie Jenner has been stepping out with a new man, and many people assume he's an upgrade, by virtue of not being Tyga

The dude in question is rapper and producer PartyNextDoor, a member of Drake's crew. In case you're unfamiliar with the man and concerned about Kylie's romantic choices for some reason, here are a few facts to introduce you to PartyNextDoor.

PartyNextDoor is not his given name. 

The party began for Jahron Anthony Brathwaite when he was born on July 3, 1993. That makes him 22-years-old, which is an acceptable age to be dating an 18-year-old, especially when you consider the fact that they started dating after Kylie turned 18. 


He's on Drake's record label.

PartyNextDoor released his first EP on OVO Sound in 2013 and has stuck with the label ever since. In addition to frequent collaborations with Drake, he's been featured on tracks by Sean Paul, Travis Scott, Young Thug and sworn Drizzy enemy Meek Mill, among others.


He maybe dated Kehlani.

In March, he Instagrammed -- and later deleted -- a photo that appeared to be of him holding hands with R&B singer Kehlani. At the time, she was believed to be dating Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving, and fans went after her on Twitter. Shortly after, Kehlani posted an Instagram that led fans to believe she had attempted suicide


He worked on "Work"

PartyNextDoor is credited as a songwriter on Rihanna and Drake's hit song, which is certainly a nice thing you have on your resume. 


He also writes music for himself.

PartyNextDoor is responsible for these lyrics, presented without commentary: "She just changed her Twitter to 'Party-Gets-Me-Wetter.'"


He and Kylie have a lot in common, like being able to tell time.

If you're lost and you look, you will find me time after time. 


PartyNextDoor allegedly went bowling once.

According to reports, PartyNextDoor and Kylie recently went on a bowling date. How fun!
