Making Rap A Women's Sport With JessB

Hello lovely angels. Welcome to another episode of After Work Drinks With… This week we’re speaking to JessB, who, over the last couple of years, has been building a reputation as one of the most promising and thoughtful rappers to emerge out of New Zealand - a spotlight usually dominated by one of her male peers.

Jess has already won a bunch of awards including the Best New Zealand Act at the 2019 MTV Music Awards. She had her Triple J debut earlier this year, has played Splendour in the Grass, Laneway and Splore - including gigs alongside Future, Grace Jones and Young Thug and some of her biggest tracks have racked up over a million streams on Spotify each. PLUS, in her spare time, Jess co-runs Filth, the coolest club night in Auckland - a safe space for queer folks and people of colour in New Zealand. Basically, she’s a fucking legend.

We talk to Jess about drastically switching careers midway through your 20s, tall poppy syndrome, the Wet Ass Pussy controversy, the unique experience of being a woman in rap, and working out what it is that really fulfils you. As always, please rate, review and subscribe. <3
