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.

the drifter returns! after a brief hiatus, one of the uk's finest lyricists, jehst, releases his fourth full length album 'the dragon of an ordinary family'. since putting out his own debut 'premonitions' in 1999 at only 19 years old, jehst has fiercely established himself as the definition of an independent artist, going on to self release his first album 'falling down' (2003), follow up 'nuke proof suit' (2005) and his production based album 'underworld epics vol.1' (2006), this summer sees him present the 16-track lp 'the dragon of an ordinary family'. proving that great music stands the test of time jehst's words, rhymes and beats are as relevant today as ever before. refusing to bandwagon, back down or conform, the evolution of jehst's music and career has been an inspiring and refreshing take on modern music, succeeding where many others have failed, he is a true hip hop visionary and torch bearer, living proof that following your heart and making the music you believe in pays off. despite his uk credentials jehst is far from a local hero, his name is respected the world over from the australia to europe and america to japan, it's time for this uk rap legend to collect the props he duly deserves.
