Jeremiah Jae - Welcome to Littlebig
Jeremiah Jae is a visual artist, musician, producer, and emcee hailing from Chicago's south side. Born June 7, 1989, he is the son of Robert Irving III, who played, composed, and produced for the legendary jazz musician Miles Davis in the early to late eighties and until Davis' death. After completing four years of Visual Art studies at a private art high school in Chicago, and a couple semesters of art college, Jae dropped out of school to Commit to the exploration of Hip Hop music.
Along with rapper Monroe (T.R.E) Smith, and his brother and Jae's childhood friend and producer Aaron Butler (Projeck), who passed away in 2009, formed the Hip Hop group Young Black Preachers in 2008. The Group released a self titled Ep of five tracks that served as an expression against the continuing outburst of gang violence, political, and religious corruption in Chicago. Although the group's foundation is rooted in Hip Hop, there influences stretched as far as Punk Rock, Electro, and World Music. Following Projeck's death, Jae released the 11 track Ep entitled Dxnce for free online. Grabbing the attention of Warp recording artist and Brainfeeder CEO, Flying Lotus, Jae was soon invited to become an artist on the West Coast Label, becoming one of the only Rapper/producers on the Label at the time. Currently Jeremiah Jae is working towards Releasing his solo debut album entitled, Raw Money Raps on the Brainfeeder Imprint.
"I'm still in YBP, still am living in Chicago at the moment but I'm planning to do as much as I can while I'm here on this planet. Being able to create art and music is my life! I believe we were created to become little creators with big dreams. I want to inspire people to dream big."
