Jeremiah Jae (born June 7, 1989) is an American rapper, record producer, and multi-media artist from Chicago, Illinois.[1]
Early life
Jeremiah Jae was born in Chicago, Illinois on June 7, 1989.[2] He is the son of jazz composer and musician, Robert Irving III.[3] He grew up in a musical home studying classical piano and guitar.[4] He also taught himself the drums and played in various bands.[4]
Career
Whilst still a teenager, he formed Young Black Preachers (YBP) with his god-brothers, Tre Smith and Aaron "Projeck" Butler, and released a number of EPs alongside his solo work.[4] It was this output, and his Lunch Special mixes that drew the attention of Steve Ellison, aka Flying Lotus, and led to Jae's move to Los Angeles in 2007.[4]
After spending 6 months involving himself in the Los Angeles beat scene, and meeting the rest of the Brainfeeder roster, Jae was signed to the imprint.[4] Following the release of Dxnce, Jae's debut Brainfeeder project Rappayamatantra was released in 2011.[5] Throughout that time, Jae has continued the Lunch Special series,[6] and contributed beats to the Captain Murphy mixtape Duality.[7]
Having toured extensively with label mate Teebs, Jae released his debut album, Raw Money Raps, in 2012.[8] In 2013, Jae released the Bad Jokes mixtape featuring members of the Black Jungle Squad and production from Jae himself, Jonwayne, Oliver the 2nd, and Flying Lotus.[9]
The Night Took Us In like Family, his first collaborative album with producer L'Orange, was released on Mello Music Group in 2015.[10] Their second collaborative album, Complicate Your Life with Violence, was released on Mello Music Group in 2019.[11]
