‘City of Industry’ has been one of my favourite tunes for nearly 20 years. ‘England’ is a more recent one (like 10 years maybe) both ridiculously good.
@@CanadianDadReacts Hey Sir. Enjoying the work. Try a Jewish rapper from Boston called Edan. A song called Migrane from his first album Primative Plus. Bravado rap. He produces and scratches himself. Its a late 80s vibe. Rakim rhyme inspired. Then a few years later he made a psychedelic album called Beauty and the Beat. You should react to Making Planets from that album it features Mr Lif. Peace x
Awesome mate. Jehst takes my breath away no matter how many times I hear his tunes. The multis, metaphors and way he paints a picture are consistently incredible. Up there with Chester P for me as the greatest MC ever.
@@CanadianDadReacts Best chester p is his from the ashes LP the whole thing is epic, that and illmatic are a couple of the only rap albums I can listen to from start to finish
Tip - there’s a podcast with Jehst being interviewed by a comedian called Romesh Ranganathan. Podcast is called ‘hip hop saved my life’. Talks about the roots of UK hip hop and why his generation were so underheard. I think you’d enjoy it.
Great reaction. Jehst is 1 of my fav MCs & not just in the UK. So many dope songs. More Jehst please. Maybe ‘Alcoholic Author’ next. You will also find him in that Leaf Dog - Legacy we mentioned.
I've just discovered your channel. It makes me so happy to see genuine reactions to the music I grew up on. It's so nostalgic, I can't put it into words. It's an amazing gift to be able to see someone hear a track for the first time. Big up, mate, you have a new subscriber.......
This is what uk rap was before it got surpassed by Garage abd and Grime music m.cs. In my opinion the Grime m.c era was a dumb down in terms of lyricism. But we've gone in full circle to a time where lyric content and delivery is respected again.
One of my favourite Jehst tracks of all time! Along with ‘1979’ & ‘under the weather ft assaviour’. Or pretty much anything of the “nukeproof suit” album, basically anything Jehst does is golden
Did I get removed for the C-bomb?! That's another feature of the UK apart from a great rap scene. The C-bomb is just a normal noun used to mean "person". "Who was at the party last night?" "Oh, every c**t was there." "Do you know that guy over there?" "Yeah, he's alright. He's a good c**t" No offense intended.
Jehst related and worth peeping out for that summer party vibe is Champions of Nature's Salsa Smurf. CON were a UK super group with Jehst, Lewis Parker, Supa T and Profound. CDR your channel is superb it is so great to find all these classic UK tunes, from what I regard as the golden era of UKHH, alongside newer up and coming artists.... keep it up.
Apocalypse when - wordsmith, jehst and scribblah. Its a journey of a tune lyrically. Going through the stages of an apocalyptic situations. If not on your channel check it out and would be great to hear your thoughts.
More Jehst recommendations...... Dude, I don't know where to start. Falling Down was the first Jehst album I had and it's still my favourite album..... (and most people sight Return of the Drifter as his best work). He's one of those artists where it's hard to pick his best work because he kills everything. Erm, try the title track 'Falling Down' and '1979' from Return of the Drifter .... but check it all out. He's several albums and mix tapes deep. Ohhhhh, and 'Connect the SPDIF' with Farmer G and Bugsy...AND 'Cosmic Gypsies' with Task Force and Braintax. (I could go on and on).
It's always a pleasure seeing people from outside the UK hear classics like this for the first time

Perfect. I'll add it to the list!
City of Industry is fire.
Both bang

This is such a sick song. One of my favorite tracks ever, so many good memories of listening to this.
3:11 the way the dog bark lined up with that face 😂😂😂

Yeah, man. I checked out Chester P's fire in the streets today. Amazing. Video will be up in a day or two.

Jehst - 1979 is a banger! 😎
Rob H that song is coming up a lot. Highly recommended. I’ve added it to the list. Thank you.
@@CanadianDadReacts you really should, it's got a classic boom bap beat and is on the same level as alcoholic author

Tbezza thanks! Appreciate that. I’ll check it out.
great podcast! love the episode where frankie boyle talks about biggie and 2pac faking their deaths and living as a couple in Greece :)
Thank you for getting to Jehst! Master of the metaphor 👌
Just so good.
lol epic first jehst react, you got him right from the off
England - Jehst
This is close if not THE gold standard of UK hip hop
Great reaction. Jehst is 1 of my fav MCs & not just in the UK. So many dope songs. More Jehst please. Maybe ‘Alcoholic Author’ next. You will also find him in that Leaf Dog - Legacy we mentioned.
Agreed, Jehst is my #1 of all time worldwide. He's a modern day poet.
"king blue twista" are Rizzla Rolling Papers btw, he's talking about rolling a joint.
Great track Indeed. As a Frenchman I fail to understand the "promoters who dont put the 'h' in the right place'' Line. Can you enlighten me?
Lots of people incorrectly spell Jehst as 'Jhest', hence the 'h' in the right place line.
Jehst is on a tune called freedom fighters, been listening to it for 10 years and it's still a banger you might enjoy it if you ain't heard it already

Great suggestion, Jehst is a don.
Check out Trem - Omega Man. Dudes been best in Australia for a couple decades.
Big up from Melbourne mate.

Thank you, I appreciate that. And thank you for the suggestions 👊🏼
Great to see this stuff spreading to a wider audience. Jehst and Supa T/'Sundragon are my personal favourites. Cheers.
i love this everytime you pause its like you wish you wrote it, because that was me when I first listened in my teens :D:D
One of the best wordsmiths in rap.
We need more Jehst 😁
Amazing album, hip hop classic
"Fill a page with the pain and scenes you cant picture"
Jehst’s verse on Lewis Parkers Communications. 💥
Yes dude!! Thanks for this!
Subbed! ✌
Rob H thanks, bro. Glad you’re along for the ride.

Falling Down is brilliant

Wait, what the fuck

For the longest time I believed I was, but apparently my background is equally England/Scottish, with a little bit of French and Irish.
