German Born and bred Jesse Jaxx fell in love with Hip-Hop as far back as he can remember. In 2007 at the age of 16 he decided turn his passion for the Hip-Hop culture and music he loved into the pursuit of his own music career as an emcee. Over the past 11 years, Jaxx now 27, has released several full length albums, EP’s and singles digitally to great fanfare in his homeland of Germany. His unique styling of conscious hip-hop infused with elements of soul, reggae, rock and more coupled with his much in demand live performances quickly allowed his influence to spread to many other Hip-Hop friendly European countries including Switzerland, Austria, France, the UK and eventually captivate the ears and capture the attention of those in the USA, the birthplace of Hip-Hop.

In 2016 Jaxx saw a contest being offered via longtime award winning production collaborator Anno Domini alongside A&R partner M-Eighty whose notable Artist and Work credits include the likes of the Wu-Tang Clan, E-40, Techn9ne, Canibus and many more and most notably the inclusion of Shady Records / C.O.B member Crooked I aka Kxng Crooked of Slaughterhouse. The contest included a prize package valued at $10,000 with notable highlights for the winning artists‘ single submission focusing on an exclusive collaboration with Crooked I coupled with the recording of an official music video, free production from Anno Domini for future works, a free A&R consultation from M-Eighty, free PR services surrounding the winning artists final composition and much more. A package that surely any upcoming emcee with aspirations of the limelight would undoubtebly love to claim as their own.

After the team of judges reviewed numerous submissions over the course of 2-3 months, it was finally announced that Jesse Jaxx and his original track “Angel Tears“ was indeed the official contest winner and soon thereafter his track would be completly revamped boasting the audio and visual pairing of the German based Jesse Jaxx alongside the Long Beach, CA. native Crooked I. For Jaxx, having his submission picked as the best track and winning the grand prize package was definitely a dream come true. The emcee also emphasized time and time again how Crooked I had always been one of his biggest inspirations as a fellow artist and how he had supported his career from the jump. Actually getting to work in person with Crooked I was a dream come true to say the least and watching the actual work efforts and coordination between all parties including producer Anno Domini, A&R M-Eighty to ensure that every perk his winning submission had earned him gave Jaxx a new found love and respect for what he could only describe as “what it takes to truly succeed“ in the music industry.

Today marks the release of the official video and audio release of Jesse Jaxx‘ “Angel Tears“ featuring Slaughterhouse’s own Crooked I. Check out the new single now and make sure to be on the lookout for Jesse’s forthcoming EP “Mind Elevation“ dropping September 21, 2018 on all digital platforms courtesy of Dragon Soul Entertainment / IgrooveNext.
