About
Jehdi is an alien who hails from Zeta Reticuli. HipHop was in need so he was dispatched to the infamous Newark NJ and in 2020 decided to move overseas to the London per protocol. During his childhood, being from a single mother household, he decided to allow her to mother him and HipHop (and comic book heroes) to father him. Upon graduating from Irvington High School in Irvington NJ, he decided to volunteer for the United States Navy as a Hospital Corpsman and did an 8 month tour in Iraq as a combat medic for the United States Marine. After that deployment, something in him awakened. A power he never knew he possessed. This is when he began to sharpen his newfound craft in converting thoughts into melodic rhymes. Jehdi emerged.
Influences– Jay-Z, KANYE WEST, Boot Camp Clik, Nas, Eminem, Redman, Mobb Deep, Jay Electronica, NORE, Missy Elliot, Makaveli, Pusha-T, Lupe Fiaasco, Future, the Wu-Tang Clan, Outkast, T.I, The Cranberries, Nirvana, Linkin Park, Kings of Leon, Chris Breezy, and Kobe Bryant. These are the artist that Jehdi has studied and applied to his unique style, work ethic, and delivery. His plethora of influences is what makes his sound so "out of this world". To influence Jehdi is to be an artist with, what he calls, the "Holy Trinity". That Trinity is Lyrics, Flow, and Beat selection. He's mastered the triple threat offense.
Mission – The goal of Jehdi is to bring the essence of the art back to HipHop. The name "Jehdi" derives from Star Wars and how Anakin Skywalker was the chosen one to bring the balance back to the Force. The "Force" is HipHop. Jehdi had to tap into the 'dark side' of the 'Force' to acquire the necessary power to defeat these "clones" that call themselves artist. HipHop is consumed by adults, but the mainstream are only promoting immature kids and adults cannot relate to the current trend. Jehdi has a goal to create music for the intelligent adult mind because mature adults are not drug addicts with no respect for woman and have no time to listen to 48 bars of bragging about how many materials that an artist possesses. In the words of the late, great Sam Cooke.....A Change is Going to Come.
