Jackson Whalan, born and raised in Western Massachusetts, is known for his fierce flow, his uplifting and genre-bursting hip-hop, his versatile beat-making skills and production, and his dazzling freestyle rap chops. His 100-plus song catalog bursts through perceived confines of hip-hop, veering into pop, electronic, and jam band territory. Whalan’s oeuvre includes LPs, EPs, singles, and features with legendary artists including KRS-One, Wax, Mr. Lif, Honeycomb, Michael Wilbur, and many more. He has opened for GZA (Wu-Tang), Dua Saleh, Moon Hooch, RJD2, and others. His music has recently been featured on Netflix, the NFL, Xfinity, Reebok, and more.
