Ekoh (born, Jeff Thompson), is an indie rapper from Las Vegas with a loyal fan-following of those who saw something different in his style of hip-hop — true, emotional lyrics along with hard-hitting delivery, intricate production, and high-energy live shows.

A self-professed comic book nerd and former skateboarder, Thompson was more into punk rock than hip-hop as a teenager. But during a stint in rehab, he began writing in journals, therapeutically expressing himself in poetry, which led to doing the same in rhyme form over a beat.

On March 19, 2013, Ekoh released his debut EP, Zzyzx Road, marking his first footstep in the music industry.

With no record company, no manager, no publicist, no booking agent, blue-collar rapper Ekoh has taken advantage of the music business’s shift to streaming platforms and reliance on social media in a game-changing way.

A songwriter who can blur the lines between different genres i.e. hip-hop with elements of indie and alt rock — and everything in-between — Ekoh has different sounds that has appealed to many listeners. This has lead to him amassing an amazing number of monthly listeners and followers for an unsigned artist, on Spotify.

During the early summer of 2020, Ekoh finally made waves when he joined Eminem and the late Juice WRLD in the iTunes Top 10 Hip-Hop charts.
