It is impossible to have a credible discussion about Hip Hop in Jamaica without mentioning Five Steez. Although the country isn't a hot spot for Hip Hop talent, the underground Kingston MC has graced international festivals and has been acknowledged by Earmilk, Okayplayer and The FADER.

Reminiscent of the golden era, with a new twist, a common man’s perspective and an unheard Jamaican narrative, Five Steez’ music has been described by critics as ‘poignant’ and ‘soulful’, with lyricism full of imagery, storytelling and wit.

Over the past decade, Five Steez has unprecedentedly carved a lane for himself as an independent Hip Hop artist through thrilling performances and a critically acclaimed discography, starting in 2010. In 2019, Five Steez was at his busiest with the release of his most personal project, the Love N Art album alongside Mordecai in February, and the Pantone EP produced by French beatmaker J-Zen in October. During the summer of 2020, Five Steez fired off HeatRockz 2.0, the sequel to his 2016 EP.

Most recently, in 2021, Five Steez released his latest album titled Quietude, in partnership with Brazilian producer SonoTWS.
