An iconic name synonomous with multi-layered lyricism, liquid flows and
blunted beats, Jehst is one of the few seminal figures credited with
spearheading a movement of artists who would kick open the doors for
homegrown Hip Hop to become as vibrant & healthy as it is today
Far from just a local hero, Jehst is a name known globally with an influence reaching far an
d
wide from America's underground to Australia and back again. NME have
named him a "cult hero", Mike Skinner (The Streets) described him as
"fantastic" in his recent autobiography and even 'rapper's rapper'
Pharoahe Monch has praised Jehst's abilities, telling The Cut "Dope,
dope. I like his pocket... where his rhymes fall at."
With a
captivating stage presence to match his studio persona, Jehst 's
reputation on the live circuit has seen him billed alongside some truly
iconic artists. This Autumn alone sees him sharing stages with DOOM,
Public Enemy and Lord Finesse! So it's safe to say that the B-Side
audience are in for a treat when he hits the stage with his live band to
showcase new material as well bringing a live twist to some of his well
known underground classics.
With Micall Parknsun (YNR) on the
mic and the MPC, Jazz T (Boot Records / ITF champ) on turntables, Louis
Slipperz (Task Force / Owiny Segoma Band) on bass, the sultry Fae Simon
on backing vocals & time-changing magician Kwake (Speakers Corner
Quartet) on drums, Jehst's live band are a force to be reckoned with.
