London rapper Jelani Blackman releases his Average Joe EP via his own label 18 Records.
He’s had the privilege of working with some on the best in the game including Burna Boy, Kojey Radical, but this EP stands alone as an amazing body of work.
The EP has some really strong narratives throughout, with identity, being thankful, feeling of self-worth and various other topics. It features Nobody’s Son & Brixton which were huge tracks for him this year. Please keep to yourself.
He hit the reset button at the start of 2019 and came back with a new energy altogether. Getting himself out of a turbulent major deal, he took back full independence and started again from scratch. This is the proudest work of his career. Stream the entire EP below.
