Jay Critch - Return of the Hood Fav

Brooklyn’s Jay Critch makes his return to London with the Return Of The Hood Fav show at Oslo Hackney on 9 August 2026. A figurehead of the new Brooklyn wave, he’s known for a melodic, unhurried flow, sharp phrasing and hooks built for trap’s lean production. He first caught ears with Did It Again and Fashion, then pushed further alongside Rich The Kid’s Rich Forever Music, a run that set his tone between street rap and sung refrains.

Back on a London stage for the first time since 2018, Critch reconnects with UK fans with a set that taps every era of his catalogue. Expect early heaters that sparked his rise, Rich Forever-era cuts, tracks from Hood Favorite and later tapes, plus fresh material. Live, his delivery stays crisp and fluid, sliding from low-key melodies to tight cadences over moody, spacious beats. It’s the NYC DNA that runs through his records, brought to the stage with the same balance of grit and melody that made him a go-to voice in modern Brooklyn rap.
