He describes his work as the "new sound of London", while British media claim that his songs hold a mirror to English society, and he gives a voice to those who do not have it. Jeshi is a charismatic MC and lyricist from East London who is gradually making bigger and bigger moves on the scene.

Recently, his song "Killing Me Slowly" could be heard in the final, third season of the hit series "Top Boy" on Netflix, and last Friday he released his latest EP "The Great Stink", referring to the ecological disaster in London in the mid-19th century. His talent was also appreciated by slowthai himself, who took him on tour - and we managed to talk to the nice, eloquent artist after his first solo concert in Warsaw a few months ago.

In the conversation, Jeshi told us, among other things: about "pure honesty" in his music, his debut album "Universal Credit" and the context of "life on welfare" in the UK, humorous elements in his work, the pitfalls of the current generation, growing up in the multicultural district of Walthamstow in London, working with Los Angeles rapper Westside Boogie and friendship & collaborations with UK soul singer Celeste, and more!
