Momodou Jallow (born 26 May 1996), better known by his stage name J Hus, is a British recording artist of Gambian descent. He is best known for his 2017 single "Did You See", which charted at number 9 on the UK Singles Chart, but also featured on Stormzy and Ghetts' "Bad Boys" from his album Gang Signs & Prayer, which peaked at number 22 and on Dave's "Samantha", which peaked at number 63. J Hus is also well known for his hit single, "Dem Boy Paigon". On 12 May 2017, J Hus released his debut album, Common Sense, and went straight to number 3 on the iTunes chart, peaking at number 6 on the UK Albums Chart.
J Hus was born and raised in Stratford to a single mother. He also has a younger sister. He was inspired to take up rapping after listening to 50 Cent, and was persuaded to become professional after two of his friends offered to become his management.
J Hus began his career by recording several freestyles, including #StreetHeat and Bl@CKBOX and publishing them online. He followed this with "#Rated", which samples the beat from French Montana's "Don't Panic", and "Want From Me (Remix)". His next release was "Dem Boy Paigon", which was described by Ajay Rose of The Link Up as having "brought together an Afro-beat sound with lyrical rap ... capable of turning any dance upside down". He followed this with "No Lie" and his Warm Up Session.
Around the end of March 2015, he and MoStack released their "Westwood Crib Session". In late May 2015, he released "Lean & Bop", which was streamed six million times. Around this time, he also released a "Daily Duppy" for GRM Music, which he followed with his first mixtape, The 15th Day.
In September 2015, J Hus was hospitalised after being stabbed five times in London. Whilst in hospital, he was criticised for tweeting "5 stab wounds could never stop me #AntiCh #F***DaOvaSide".
Jallow released the single "Friendly" in 2016, which received a nomination at the 2016 MOBO Awards, as well as "Playing Sports", "Liar Liar" (remix) and "Solo One", the last of which appeared on the Brotherhood soundtrack.
