Jeremiah Jae
Son of jazz and R&B artist/composer Robert Irving III, rapper Jeremiah Jae has a solid left-field resumé, having worked with cutting-edge producers like Samiyam, Flying Lotus, and Ras G while landing on taste-making labels like Warp and Brainfeeder. In addition to co-founding political hip-hop collective Young Black Preachers, he steadily developed his solo material as well, moving from self-released mixtapes in the early 2000s to moodier, more abstract sounds on records like 2013's RawHyde and 2018's Daffi.
Born and raised in the Chicago area, the young Jeremiah was an alternative rock fan but came to hip-hop after discovering the Wu-Tang Clan. He formed the group Young Black Preachers with Tre Smith and Aaron Butler in 2005 and launched a series of solo mixtapes around the same time. He moved to Los Angeles in 2007 on the advice of producer Flying Lotus, while 2008 saw the Young Black Preachers make their debut with the YBP EP. Jeremiah's solo EP Dxnce followed in 2009, and his 2011 Rappayamatantra EP launched his relationship with Brainfeeder. The label released his Raw Money Raps album in 2012, but after that Jae would work with various labels on his different projects.
