Jeshi
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, Boomtown, Pitchfork, Outbreak, Reeperbahn, Dour, Latitude, SXSW, Sundown, Warehouse Project’s Repercussions & a headline show in Tokyo. On top of that Jeshi secured his second Top Boy soundtrack & an inclusion in Fifa’s EAFC 24. Outside of music the’s also fronted campaigns with, Salomon, Nike Air Max and Dr. Martens and attended Fashion East’s most recent LFW show.
