Jesse James Solomon - one of the UK’s most original, enigmatic artists - offers up sublime new single, Ugly World.

A beautiful, bittersweet love song, Ugly World was produced by frequent collaborator Felix Joseph (Jorja Smith, Mahalia, AJ Tracey), and the video created by award-winning director Noah Lee (070 Shake, Rejjie Snow, Anna of the North), who also helmed Solomon’s YPT video.

Doggedly and deliberately unhurried, Jesse James Solomon’s gradual rise to cult favourite has been fuelled by a steady stream of high-quality, timeless and totally unique music. The rapper’s earlier offerings include a handful of solo singles, a pair of EPs, plus collaborations with Skepta, Obongjayar, Sam Wise, ELIZA, Wiki and The Streets. Ugly World perfectly illustrates Solomon’s poetic penmanship and laid-back-yet-captivating style.
