So old? Bro this feels like yesterday to me. Hate getting old, time just passes so quickly. Enjoy your youth man. Make mistakes, learn and love. Utilise the exuberance, don't take it too seriously. Live your life. Enjoy jehst
The madness is that for a good few seconds when i first saw this back in the day i did think jehst was a postman! i used to deliver papers and id get high and think of bars the whole morning before school. So it made sense to me. Fuckin love this
Jhest is so underrated, his lyrics are extremely clever and the man has a lot of talent. Out of all the UK hip hop artists he is my favorite, falling down is a brilliant album.
@@powernoid he's never paid for samples mate. His music was never legit. So he couldn't of ever made it that way. But man he's amazing, I've seen him live in Leeds and he is perfection.
showing my friends lil brother what we used to listen ago back in day. Can't believe this come out 10 years ago! Still sounds as fresh as the day it come out.
I don't know if its now "uncool" in the UK to still like Jehst but he's one of my all time favorites. I still love it when i hear songs like Carpe Diem, Cosmic Gypsies, and Brimstone Rock.
Finally going to see Jehst live on monday night, you could put all the chrimbo's/birthdays/new years eve's/super phun tymes together and you still wouldn't get close to my excitement.
The drifters back!!!! Glad to see he flipped this whole postman ting.....Now he laughin in the faces of all those that were bad mouthing him. Big up the legend that is Jehst. Still showing innovation. I just cant wait for his album to drop, been waiting for that shit for TOO long. but anyway, Big up the man! & all of the YNR crew.
I'm loving the idea that this is Jehst's tribute to Charles Bukowski! A genius who undderstood, all too well, the poetry to be found in crushing, repetetive, menial work - nailed beautifully in his book 'Post Office'
@rasko Yep, I lived round the corner on Pleshey Road... the house Jehst walks away from at the very start is the one they used in the sit-com Spaced. Quality all round!!!
By far The best in the UK game. Hes on another level. Some other deep, intelligent and conscious British acts are Braintax - RIP, Dr Syntax, Lowkey, Roots Manuva, Chester P, Maxi Jazz of Faithless,Scroobuis Pip, Allflaws
OG, poetic rhymes and great beats and riffs. One of the unrecognised greats. I say unrecognised amongst people who have no idea of good uk hip hop. Those who know know. 🤟🏻
when you got dj kool herc leaving a comment you know my boy done good even the creator of hip hop gave it thumbs up i rest my case go cop it when it drops and if you wanna hear the new album man will be performing tracks off it this saturday @ XOYO so make sure y'all come
Awesome! When seeing the first vid I actually thought Jehst worked for Royal Mail as his day job! Love Stiggy smalls on the fitness tip! The whole ting (both vids) is just 'genius'! Only Jehst! Big upz!
@wwwdotnet this video is an extension of jehst's musical genius, i've never seen a scenario turn into a piece of art like that, which is basically what you've done, drawn a picture using life and emotions. like most people who comment, im pretty blazed, sat in spain smoking some nice moroccan haha but the vid is genius and jehst kills it as ever. love how hes blatantly filmed it straight out of bed for credibility, he looks done in! cant wait to bump the new album in my motor!!
What fucking brilliant videos! The whole concept with the two parts making it look like it was some home video and bla bla bla, and then the diff cameos (especially liked the cameos from the two guys from the Q-Unique video).
The UKS finest MC by far. Hes real poet with style and substance. Bless to him and other British peeps like Braintax, Roots Manuva, Ghostpoet, Scoobius Pip, Chester P, Dr Syntax
im blessed to be good mates with someone who grew up with jehst... some interesting stories to say the least, he sounds as eccentric IRL as in his music. big up tears in rain... UK !
@@littlewig200 he was apparently very high energy, always writing but hard to get into a studio. maybe the reason we didnt see him blow up as much as he should of done. he moved around alot too... my friend who knows him was hella into the graf hip hop thing in the 90s so they did alot of art work together mainly... according to him he helped list one of his albums or something when he was living or visiting sowber bridge in halifax where i think he lived for a bit... not much to tell as all this is 15 year ago deep in my mates memory :) hope u have a epic day! an idle mind is the devils workshop ;)
Most of the time the artists themselves try to keep underground, if you get too popular the beast that is the music industry takes over, stifling lyrical creativity, you can speak your mind when your a nobody, no ones paying your wage so no one has a say in what you do.
This is the shit, I was totally expecting this to be you opening the door and speaking to him like you said in the last video. Flipped my wig when it turned into the music video!
yooooo i didnt kno jhest was out with new stuff!!!! ahhah i thought this was gonna b a joke or sumthing from the title...good to hear new stuff from jhest britains best
Haha! Wicked tune, wicked video...it's great to see good narrative and performance combined in a music video! It'd be hilarious if this was made by Jehst purely as a response to the postman video you put up rather than a real video with a clever pre-production plan to generate noise...lol... Peace - Ben - Ki Films
Though the sample used here was on the 7L & Esoteric album Soul Purpose, the production for the title track 'Soul Purpose' was actually DJ Spinna and not 7L. 7L still doing his thing though.
absolutely love the flow on this... can't believe it's so old and I'm only hearing it for the first time
Always the first time, mate...
I remember seeing Jhest perform this live crowd went wild
So old? Bro this feels like yesterday to me. Hate getting old, time just passes so quickly. Enjoy your youth man. Make mistakes, learn and love. Utilise the exuberance, don't take it too seriously. Live your life. Enjoy jehst

I just cant believe im so old
Jhest is so underrated, his lyrics are extremely clever and the man has a lot of talent. Out of all the UK hip hop artists he is my favorite, falling down is a brilliant album.
it's a crime that jehst isn't a national treasure by now
so true
"Like promoters that don't get the H in the right place"
SayHiBob couldn’t have said it better myself. Absolute poet! Mad skills
@@powernoid he's never paid for samples mate. His music was never legit. So he couldn't of ever made it that way. But man he's amazing, I've seen him live in Leeds and he is perfection.

BIG UP!!
You 2 high focus
5yrs later and still snapping necks, love this tune!
I don't know if its now "uncool" in the UK to still like Jehst but he's one of my all time favorites. I still love it when i hear songs like Carpe Diem, Cosmic Gypsies, and Brimstone Rock.
it is still certainly cool to listen Jehst. Timeless musis
Good stuff.
useyouforfood wtf if you catch anyone saying jehst isnt sick ninja star throw a copy of return of the drifter directly into their eye
***** Will do.
"uncool" to still listen to jehst? madness
Finally going to see Jehst live on monday night, you could put all the chrimbo's/birthdays/new years eve's/super phun tymes together and you still wouldn't get close to my excitement.
one of the best marketing campaigns ever this, the videos of him delivering the post, posted to all the hip hop forums
man, it is ssooo good to hear some new Jehst tunes
The drifters back!!!!
Glad to see he flipped this whole postman ting.....Now he laughin in the faces of all those that were bad mouthing him.
Big up the legend that is Jehst. Still showing innovation.

Thanks for this
It was Stig of the Dump as a fitness instructor
this is good hip hop music, i wish more of this stuff was televised!
the revolution will not be televised.
They fans would start complaina bout sellouts.. as always
I used to live in Notting Hill and my postman legit looked like Jehst, I absolutely adored that dude))
Jehst is better than a lot of U.S. rap artists
he's returned with his sickest flow yet... finally more beats to paint pictures in my mind.
@rasko Yep, I lived round the corner on Pleshey Road... the house Jehst walks away from at the very start is the one they used in the sit-com Spaced. Quality all round!!!
Man.. 2011? I can't believe I've been listening to this for 3 years.. And I can't believe how mich has changed in three years
Yeah its crazy
Lenny Jay check back breh

im blessed to be good mates with someone who grew up with jehst... some interesting stories to say the least, he sounds as eccentric IRL as in his music. big up tears in rain... UK !

@@littlewig200 he was apparently very high energy, always writing but hard to get into a studio. maybe the reason we didnt see him blow up as much as he should of done. he moved around alot too... my friend who knows him was hella into the graf hip hop thing in the 90s so they did alot of art work together mainly... according to him he helped list one of his albums or something when he was living or visiting sowber bridge in halifax where i think he lived for a bit... not much to tell as all this is 15 year ago deep in my mates memory :) hope u have a epic day! an idle mind is the devils workshop ;)
Bout time. bin waiting for his new stuff

Most of the time the artists themselves try to keep underground, if you get too popular the beast that is the music industry takes over, stifling lyrical creativity, you can speak your mind when your a nobody, no ones paying your wage so no one has a say in what you do.
This is HEAVY!! Big up jehst! UK hip hop Live an kicking!!
jehst ... what a fucking legend in the game ... this better be on D.O.A.O.F.... as someone said, best set up for a music video in history surely ...
Artistry! You best be giving us another LP we can listen to for 5 years+ bruv, only you can do that sort of material nowadays.
Absolutely big up Jehst, man is a genius, I've been waiting too long for a proper LP, Nuke Proof was nice but I need some Falling Down shit.
And EVERYONE missed the clever little trombone shot at 0:18 Nice stuff Will
keeps gettin better n better,uks finest.
U.K hip hop has some of the best music videos going
This is the shit, I was totally expecting this to be you opening the door and speaking to him like you said in the last video. Flipped my wig when it turned into the music video!
He never fails to deliver.. No pun intended.

Starting Over - taken from forthcoming album 'The Dragon of an Ordinary Family'
Produced by Jehst
Mixed by Chemo
Haha! Wicked tune, wicked video...it's great to see good narrative and performance combined in a music video!
It'd be hilarious if this was made by Jehst purely as a response to the postman video you put up rather than a real video with a clever pre-production plan to generate noise...lol...

Though the sample used here was on the 7L & Esoteric album Soul Purpose, the production for the title track 'Soul Purpose' was actually DJ Spinna and not 7L. 7L still doing his thing though.
