Eesah

Eesah, born Ackime Nathaniel Nephew on April 17, 1991, in Kingston, Jamaica, kicked off his music journey as an audio engineer at Jah Over Evil Studio before stepping into the spotlight as a reggae and dancehall artist. His name comes from Jamaican patois slang "dat bad eesah," a hype expression for something exciting like a killer riddim, coined by peers for his sharp lyrical wit after he ditched his old moniker Jahkime. Starting with his 2012 ganja-themed EP *Kannabis* that buzzed in Jamaica and Europe, he dropped gems like 2014's *Believe In Love*, co-wrote the Marcus Garvey tribute "Black Marcus," and teamed up with Silki Wonda for the 2016 EP *Lords of the Land*, where lead track "Will Power" got props from DJ David Rodigan as a fresh Jamaican vibe.

Eesah's collabs shine bright, like his feature on Chronixx's "Perfect Tree" from the *Roots and Chalice* mixtape, which blew up globally with millions of views, plus links with artists like Infinite, Micah Shemaiah, and Lutan Fyah. He's shared stages from small crowds to big festivals, keeps pumping out thoughtful tracks on love, life struggles, triumphs, and consciousness—recently with albums like *Protect Jah Children*, *Muffin Kings*, and *Success* matching his steady output. With a voice that hits emotional and spiritual notes, Eesah's all about inspiring through real-talk lyrics and that uplifting reggae energy.
