J HUS RELEASES NEW SINGLE ‘SPIRIT’ LIFTED FROM DEBUT ALBUM LISTEN HERE DEBUT ALBUM ‘COMMON SENSE’ - BIGGEST SELLING WEEK 1 DEBUT FOR A UK RAP ALBUM - 2ND BIGGEST UK URBAN ALBUM OF 2017 FOLLOWING STORMZY

‘DID YOU SEE’ GOES GOLD

Having released one of this year’ s biggest British Breakthroughalbums, J Hus announces the release of new single ‘Spirit’ lifted from his debut album ‘Common Sense’.

With ‘ Spirit’, Hus digs deeper into himself to discuss his past life when he took the path less righteous. ‘ They can take away my freedom, they can’t take my spirit,’ he sings of his time spent in prison back in 2015. “When I was inside, I used to listen to a lot of radio. I thought if I could make a tune that would go on radio that could then be heard in prison, then I could almost talk to myself, myself in prison. I wanted a song that could really resonate with people in that situation. So if any of my tunes get played on radio, it’ s great, but if that one gets played on radio then I’ m going to be so happy. I made this one to try to keep everyone’ s head up. It’ s a purely positive message.”

J Hus recently announced his European Tour which is close to selling out. The tour will include his highly anticipated London show at the O2 Brixton Academy on November 15th, tickets for which sold out in just 8 hours. J Hus recently completed his UK tour to support the release of ‘Common Sense’ , and was joined by Nadia Rose, Lotto Boyzz and Young T & Bugsey.

Debut album ‘Common Sense’ came in at No. 6on The Official Charts, and has since spent many weeks in the Top Ten selling an impressive 50k units to date. The album joins the company of previous 2017 UK breakthroughs including Rag N Bone Man (#1) and Stormzy(#2). Top Ten single ‘ Did You See’ is now officially certified as Gold, having sold well over 400,000 units. The visual has had over 28 million views and an impressive 48 million plus combined Spotify and Apple Music streams for the audio.

Boasting an ebullient blend of Dancehall, Afrobeat, Grime, Rap, Garage and R&B, 'Common Sense' is a musical revelation, an emotional rollercoaster ride into the inner musings of an inner-city musician. As well as his signature sound – some say UK Afrobeats, others AfroGrime – there are nods to others influences too. Production over the entire album comes from Hus and long-term collaborator JAE5, with additional production on select tracks by Tiggs, Show & Prove, The Compozers, Mark Crown, TSB and iO.
