Jehst is a prolific English MC, born in Kent in the summer of '79. He spent his childhood in Sussex before moving to Huddersfield, West Yorkshire as a teenager. Fueled by the bleak reality of the post-industrial North, he re-located to London and made his vinyl debut in 1999 with the highly acclaimed "Premonitions" EP. Jehst launched the self-financed YNR Productions label from his University halls of residence.
With a career spanning over two decades, Jehst has established himself as one of the most influential figures in UK hip-hop. His unique style and thought-provoking lyrics have earned him critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base.
Known for his storytelling abilities and introspective rhymes, Jehst's music reflects on personal experiences and societal issues. His raw honesty combined with catchy beats make for an unforgettable listening experience.

YNR Productions, also known as Young N Restless, is a renowned UK Hip Hop label that was established by Jehst in 1999. With a rich history spanning over two decades, YNR has become synonymous with groundbreaking music and exceptional talent.

With each release, YNR continues to shape the landscape of British rap music and nurture emerging talent.

Jehst – one of the most influential and admired figures in British hip-hop - releases new album Billy Green Is Dead. Inspired by Gil Scott-Heron’s song of the same name, the ambitious Billy Green Is Dead album follows fictional everyman character Billy Green on his solitary journey through an uncaring, individualistic world. Lead track 44th Floor - produced by Doctor Zygote of Strange U - comes midway through the record’s narrative arc and finds protagonist Billy at breaking point; “feeling like my life’s a major fail, standing on the platform waiting for British Rail”. Billy Green Is Dead is Jehst’s first album of original material in 6 years, and is released on his own label, YNR Productions. The record is executive produced by Beat Butcha (Rick Ross, Curren$y, Jadakiss), features production from Paul White (Danny Brown, Open Mike Eagle) and Jehst himself, plus guest vocals by Kashmere, Eric Biddines and others.
