A true homegrown star with global appeal – the man born Momodou Jallow, now better known as J Hus, rocketed from east London to the O2 Arena with the success of his Mercury, BRIT and MOBO Award-nominated debut album Common Sense.
Delivered with Hus’ inimitable charisma, the album’s eclectic voyage into the world of dancehall, rap, afrobeat and grime inaugurated the then 21 year-old as a prominent voice of young black Britain.
Common Sense went Top 10 on release, while Hus’ 2019 collaborations with Skepta, Stormzy and Dave kept his presence hot and his seat warm at the table of UK music’s upper echelon.
