Vic Mensa, Jesse, and Hearts at The Complex in Salt Lake City, UT on Aug 26, 2019

American rapper and recording artist, based in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Jesse (formerly known as Jesse Rutherford) has been best known as the ringleader of The Neighbourhood, the band he brought together in Newbury Park, California in 2011 -- until now. Over the past year and a half, he has struck out on a successful solo career, starting with the release of his debut album &, which came out via Columbia Records in November of 2017. Jesse looks like the kind of emo punk character that could have rolled out of an MTV TRL broadcast in 1999, but his mind is somewhere in 2099. Having recently been featured on Benny Blanco's track "Better to Lie" alongside Swae Lee and Vic Mensa's "Dancing In The Streetz," calling Jesse prolific is an understatement - from September of 2017 through September of 2018 The NBHD released 4 EPs (the last of which culls talents as diverse as Denzel Curry, IDK and Nipsey Hussle to share vocal duties with Jesse) and a studio album in addition to Jesse's solo album. Now he's gearing up to launch his debut solo headlining tour, which will kick off what is sure to be a big 2019 for Jesse.
