Rap Legend Jesse Dangerously was born in 1979, within weeks of the release of Rapper’s Delight. Arguably the two most destructive things ever to happen to hip-hop culture.
In 1996, Jesse started making beats and rapping. In 1998, Jesse started releasing tapes and playing live shows. In 2001, Jesse joined a crew called Backburner.
Now Jesse is in a group called The Library Steps (with Ambeez, illGil, and Uncle Fester), and that group has an album called Rap Dad, Real Dad on Hand’Solo Records.
Jesse is also in a duo called Danger Grove (with Lizard Grove) and their album, Want, For Nothing, is on COAX Records.
Who will release Jesse’s next solo record? It’s called I Promised Myself and it took friggin like 13 years to make it so it’s gotta be some good I reckon.
The other thing Jesse does is publish zines and chapbooks with audio companions as Bookburner Press. It started with the lyric book for Humble & Brilliant in 2011, and has been a partner in projects with Jacob Earl, MEROSTOMATA, the Mighty Rhino, Emily Neufeld, and forthcoming releases from DEARTH, Rhube Knox, The Penetrating Gaze, and more!
