Posing as one to watch, London’s rising prodigy MOBO Nominated J Vessel has returned with his latest rap cruiser ‘Purpose’. Following on from the release of his 2021 EP ‘Head in The Clouds’ which peaked in at number 2 on the iTunes Rap/Hip-Hop Charts, J Vessel has drafted no other than fellow rap riser Kadiata for this wheel-up worthy listen.

Accommodating a piano-led production courtesy of CaptainMadeIt (Bellah, Idris Elba), ‘Purpose’ is welcomed with cinematic keys that pave a way for the emotive lyrics that lie ahead. Swiftly followed through with a powerful hook via J Vessel, “Purpose / Oh Lord give me purpose / Send your fire ‘pon my enemies / I ain’t got the energy” a mellow beat kicks in creating a thought-provoking atmosphere. Navigating his purpose and acknowledging both his past and future, Kadiata (Knucks, Sam Wise, Juls) later swings by for a slick verse, “I got a mum in the hood how can I be flexing / Still in the belly of the beast, I need a c-section / Am I a victim to the system is it me letting them / Do what they want I do what I want and I reap benefits”, he raps.
Uniting to create a track that’s underpinned with hope and the aim to inspire its listeners, when asked about the track J Vessel commented, “Growing up in a musical household, I wanted to infuse my main musical influences into one record. RnB and Trap music. Meaningful lyrics and featuring one of my favourite artists Kadiata, I’m really excited to see people’s reaction to it.”
With previous support from Clash Magazine, BBC, Capital Xtra, Channel 4, GRM Daily, Premier, and more, J Vessel is steadily becoming a reputable name. Growing up in a musical household it was inevitable that he would one day become an artist himself. Becoming the first independent artist in 2014 to be nominated for a MOBO Award alongside sharing the stage with the likes of Dave, Bonkaz, Andy Mineo, and Tauren Wells, the London native has gained an ever-growing following that are waiting eagerly for his next move. Often discussing topics surrounding society and youth culture, Vessel has formed a lane of his own that’s caught the eyes of many.
