Jehst announces new album 'Billy Green is Dead' - dropping 16th June 2017 - and shares lead-single, '44th Floor'.

Inspired by Gil Scott-Heron’s song of the same name, the ambitious 'Billy Green is Dead' record follows fictional everyman character Billy Green on his solitary journey through an uncaring, individualistic world. Lead track '44th Floor' - produced by Zygote of Strange U, aka The Maghreban - comes midway through the records’ narrative arc and finds protagonist Billy at breaking point; “feeling like my life’s a major fail, standing on the platform waiting for British Rail”.

'Billy Green is Dead' is Jehst’s first album of original material in 6 years, and will be released 16th June on his own label, YNR Productions. The record is co-executive produced by Beat Butcha (Rick Ross, Curren$y, Jadakiss), features several tracks produced by Paul White (Danny Brown, Open Mike Eagle) and Jehst himself, plus guest vocals from Eric Biddines, Strange U and mysterious RnB man, Ennio Lion.
