Lord Jah-Monte Ogbon

Lord Jah-Monte Ogbon matches witty, humorous rhymes and stream-of-consciousness song titles with moody, abstract beats. He established his music career in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he proclaimed himself the best rapper in the city, and has additionally spent time in Los Angeles, New York, and Atlanta. 2019's Jewelry Rap was among his early releases, and the term appeared as a tag spoken during the intros of several of his tracks. Ogbon continued to ramp up his prolific work rate with releases such as 2021's Beautifully Black and 2023's I've Really Never Been Better receiving acclaim, while numerous projects of his were given limited-edition vinyl pressings. His songwriting reached a new level of honesty and maturity with 2026's As of Now.
