The Man Behind the Mic: A Bold Voice from PH City
JHAYSON is more than an artist; he’s a movement. Rooted in the gritty realities of Port Harcourt life, he blends street wisdom with poetic flair, delivering verses that hit like therapy sessions for the soul. Inspired by global rap icons, his sound marries traditional rhythms with contemporary hip-hop sensibilities, resonating with emotion, resilience, and cultural relevance. It’s no wonder his fearless stage presence has the underground buzzing—think explosive flows that command cyphers and shutdowns alike.
As JHAYSON will always say“This project isn’t just music—it’s healing. I’m confronting my demons and giving people something real to feel.” With a reputation for authentic storytelling and raw lyricism, he’s repping a new generation of African rappers who refuse to play it safe.
JHAYSON’S recent 5-track EP FRESH OUTTA CLASS, is a raw manifesto talent, lingering desires, and zero-pressure anthems that flip the script on street survival and self-liberation. From the introspective punch of “Letter to Mine” to the unapologetic flex of “Attention,” every bar—crafted by Udeme Jason Obot himself—pulses with gritty PH authenticity, experimental beats by Xmarshal, NhnKay, and Rändomstrangeer, and a fearless #SYFR swagger that cements him as the South-South’s undisputed voice of resilience.
Stream it now on your favorite music platforms and let those introspective lyrics pull you in. It’s the kind of release that doesn’t just play—it heals.
Live and Electric: Highlights That Shut It Down
JHAYSON doesn’t just perform; he dominates. Catch the highlights from his headline slots at Okerewa Carnival (2023 & 2024), where he straight-up shut down the event with standout energy that snagged local and national media spotlights. Known for owning underground rap battles and street cyphers across the South-South, his mic grip is legendary—fearless, fiery, and impossible to look away from.
Fun fact: Despite his hard-hitting style, JHAYSON’s often spotted chilling around basketball courts or on the football field, proving he’s as grounded as he is gifted. As Xpic Management raves, “JHAYSON is fearless with the mic. You feel every word he spits.” And the Port Harcourt Street Journal echoes: “He’s not just chasing clout—he’s building a legacy.”
