JSWISS Presents: The Lab

JSWISS stands out as a young, yet veteran and poised, adept lyricist who embodies the essence of hip hop with an infusion of soul. With projects like the Awthenticity LP (2013), ALLCAPSNOSPACES EP (2015) and the No Music EP (2016) earning acclaim from media outlets, radio DJs and fans in the U.S. and internationally, JSWISS has garnered hundreds of thousands of plays worldwide and performed hundreds of shows, often with a live band. With clever wordplay, positive messages and an infectious energy that drives an exciting live show, JSWISS appeals to hip hop purists and new hip hop audiences alike.

While carving out a sound notably different from his contemporaries, JSWISS is part of a growing movement of more musically involved hip hop along with the likes of Chance The Rapper and Kendrick Lamar. Fans of hip hop???s ???Golden Age??? in the 90s and artists like Talib Kweli, The Roots and A Tribe Called Quest will love what this emcee has to offer, as will anyone who appreciates quality content from the heart.

For "The Lab," a monthly event at Rockwood Music Hall, JSWISS assembles a different cast of musicians each time to workshop and create new ideas as he works to craft his next project, bringing along audiences to be a part of the normally exclusive process.
