Jeshi doesn’t run away from fire; he runs with it.
The East London artist is on a quest to feel alive in every sense. To him, feeling alive means being present in each experience, no matter how challenging.
For Jeshi – who has spent the last few years establishing himself as one of the most exciting voices of his generation – this is what life and art are all about. Chaos, then, is not something to shy away from, but where great ideas are born. You can feel this ethos in practice throughout Jeshi’s increasingly vital output. His music is audacious and unflinching, stuffed with punkish energy and charisma as he remoulds the outermost contours of UK rap.
With a consistent output of impeccable standard, Jeshi has racked up an impressive 32m+ total streams. In 2022 he dropped his era-defining debut album Universal Credit which was then followed the a deluxe and the afore-mentioned EP The Great Stink. Each project defines a different milestone in Jeshi’s artistic development. With a central theme rooted in his own experience he weaves in an additional overarching and often meta or absurdist connection that ties in to create a fully realised artistic work. As well as vision, both skill and devotion are required for such consistent excellence.
Jeshi has achieved much, with performances at many of the great festivals including, Glastonbury, We Love Green and Pitchfork. He’s received nominations for best rap album at the DJ Mag Awards and a nomination at the Music Video Awards for “Bad Day At The Office (live film)”.
November 6th, Jeshi dropped his new single “SAINT OR SINNER” featuring Leicester talent Sainté. The futuristic production from JD. Reid and bb, creates a hazy, beautiful atmosphere on the track.
At the core of Jeshi’s sophomore effort is, dynamism; the harnessing of movement and his quest to feel alive in every sense of the word. This sentiment has always felt core to Jeshi’s artistic mission.
