Jesse James Solomon

Jesse James Solomon is a south east London rapper and producer crafting trippy, introspective sounds that feel like a soundtrack to the city's late-night streets. Hailing from south of the river like grime star Stormzy and Dave, he's part of a diverse new wave drawing inspiration from everyday people spotted through bus and Uber windows, blending hazy hip-hop vibes with poetic, piercing lyrics.

Once a promising young footballer sidelined by a long-term injury, Jesse pivoted to music, building buzz on SoundCloud before dropping EPs like *Jesse From SE* and *Blue Park*, plus recent singles such as *Monkey on My Back*, *The Rain*, and *Bird Seed*. His 2025 album *1111* features collabs with artists like Mansion Boy and Jadasea, keeping the momentum going with that raw, disillusioned edge.
