Editor's note

Jessi's bold hip-hop and R&B swagger

A Korean-American rapper and singer who blends hip-hop attitude with pop hooks across collaborations and solo tracks.

For her defiant side, 'Boing (feat. Changmo)' nails it. When she leans into melody, 'Unpretty Dreams' holds its ground.

Jessi brings a distinct, unapologetic voice to Korean hip-hop and R&B that cuts through polished pop landscapes. Her track '1-2 Step (Korean Version)' showcases that confident flow over a danceable beat, while features like 'Shivers (feat. Ed Sheeran & SUNMI)' highlight her crossover reach. She's built a catalog where brashness and melody share the same space.

She emerged with a hip-hop foundation, evident in early tracks like 'Drip (feat. Jay Park)'. Her work has since spanned solo R&B ballads like 'Don't Make Me Cry' and high-profile collaborations, suggesting a move between assertive rap and more melodic, pop-leaning sounds.

Archive material and source history

Jessi was born Jessica Ho in New York City in 1988 and moved to South Korea in her early twenties to pursue music. She debuted in 2005 as part of the hip-hop group Lucky J, but her solo career took off in 2014 with the single 'Ssenunni.' Her music often blends hip-hop, R&B, and pop, with songs like 'Drip (feat. Jay Park)' and 'Boing (feat. Changmo)' showing her energetic style.

Her outspoken personality and provocative lyrics have drawn criticism at times, though she's denied allegations of cultural appropriation. She's collaborated with artists including BTS's RM, HyunA, and MAMAMOO's Hwasa. Other tracks like 'Unpretty Dreams' and 'Shivers (feat. Ed Sheeran & SUNMI)' reflect her range across different moods and sounds.

In 2020, she released 'ZOOM' and 'NUNU NANA,' followed by 'What Type of X' in 2022. Her work often touches on themes of self-acceptance and resilience, with songs like 'Missin' U' offering a more reflective side to her typically bold approach.
