REVIEW | JERU THE DAMAJA LIVE AT THE JAZZ CAFE LONDON

As we enter 2024, 90s Hip Hop heavy­weight Jeru The Dam­aja kicked off the year with a sol­id dis­play of qual­ity Hip Hop to cel­eb­rate the 30th anniversary of his debut LP, “The Sun Rises In the East.”

Hav­ing per­son­ally seen Jeru per­form live many times through­out the years, I noticed that this time around he soun­ded really relaxed and com­fort­able in his eld­er states­man role.

After pre­view­ing exclus­ive cuts from his upcom­ing pro­fan­ity-free album, he flaw­lessly dove back into the realm of super­i­or NY Hip Hop emcee.

Jeru had the crowd in the palm of his hands with numer­ous comed­ic interludes.

Jeru’s DJ, Sensi, kept the cuts on point through­out the show while Jeru shouted out a num­ber of UK Hip Hop legends in the build­ing, such as Jonzi D and Billy Spliff.

The crowd was well-fed with a sol­id 90-minute set and sent every­one in attend­ance home happy with clas­sic cuts such as “Ya Play­in’ Yaself,” “Da Bitchez,” and “Come Clean.”

The fol­low­ing two tabs change con­tent below.
