His first release of new material since his 2017 critically-adored debut studio album Common Sense, the 3-track EP perfectly captures the multi-dimensionality of J Hus’ artistry, Big Spang gives fans the chance to once again enter the wonderfully complex mind of one of the world’s best talents.
The EP opens with “Dark Vader,” a true summer anthem. Confident and outgoing, it’s playful Hus at his best. It is followed by “Scene” which serves as a reminder of his strength, prominence and lyrical prowess. The project closes with “Dancing Man,” a spirited nod to J Hus’ rhythmic signature sound. Hus shares the EP as he gears up to kick off a run of some of his biggest festival performances to-date this summer, including sets at Wireless and Reading & Leeds.

ABOUT J HUS J Hus’ breakthrough debut Common Sense received a colossal wave of critical acclaim upon release last Spring, cementing his status as one of the UK’s hottest and most inventive music stars today. Supported by break-through single “Did You See,” the album’s unique blend of Dancehall, Afrobeat, Grime, Rap, Garage and R&B has earned him a plethora of accolades, including a famed Mercury Prize nomination, three Brit Award nominations (including British Breakthrough Act) and an NME Award for Best Album. Most recently, his talents were recognized state-side with a 2018 BET Awards nomination for Best International Act. Common Sense was named one of the best albums of 2017 by publications such as The FADER, Noisey, The Guardian, NME and more with The New York Times exclaiming that “the most promising musical exchanges of the last couple of years have been among Africa, Europe and North America, and no album made that clearer than this one.” His talents have also been recognized by landing him on the cover of magazines such as British GQ Style, The FADER, Clash Magazine, and ASOS Magazine, among many others. This summer, J Hus will play various festivals around the world, including Parklife, Wireless, Fresh Island, Reading & Leeds, Outlook and more.
