J HUS

J Hus, a Londoner of Gambian heritage, is a major presence in the U.K. rap scene as well as a pioneer of Afroswing, a distinctive blend of dancehall, grime, Auto-Tune-laced R&B, and Afro-beats. After establishing himself in 2015 with a series of freestyles and early singles, such as the heavily streamed "Lean & Bop," he broke through with his 2017 debut full-length, Common Sense, which hit the U.K. Top Ten and earned a shower of critical acclaim, garnering a Mercury Prize nomination, among other accolades. His 2020 follow-up, Big Conspiracy, was an even greater success, topping the U.K. album chart and featuring the Top Five single "Must Be." J Hus' third full-length, Beautiful and Brutal Yard, was previewed by the 2023 singles "It's Crazy" and Drake collaboration "Who Told You."
