Formed in the wake of Katrina, Jealous Monk has quickly gained recognition as one of New Orleans premiere musical acts. Don’t be fooled by their young age; they have the sense to listen to those who came before and incorporate those lessons into their music. Bridging elements of raw underground hip-hop and gritty New Orleans funk, and merging wisdom from predecessors with their youthful hope for the future, Jealous Monk is a brand of sound unlike any other.

"Jealous Monk draws on second line beats and funky chops of Uptown New Orleans and blends them with the native art-form of South Bronx to create a combination of funk and hip-hop that is all their own. Made up of turntables, microphones, and one of the funkiest live bands in town, Jealous Monk has created a new brand of NOLA music!" -Stuart Raper (90.7 FM WWOZ On-Air personality)
"Jealous Monk recaptures the lost spirit of hip-hop...Funkiest hip-hop I've heard in a long time" -Alex McConduit (CrecsentCityRadio.com)
“Greetings listeners of Music. This is Kirk Joseph, Sousafunk Extraordinaire and founding member of the Dirty Dozen so I know what originality is all about. I’m back talking bout Jealous Monk. That group is off the chain. If you wanna be a hip and smart kid you listen to Jealous Monk. It’s the fire… it’s unexplainable. It makes me jump. And If it makes me jump it’s going to make you jump. Its live.†–Kirk Joseph
“When JQ gets up on stage he's ready to play. . He has a keen, beautiful, psychic way of knowing what’s going to happen by listening intuitively to what’s going on around him and makes the lyrical improvisation become part of the collective process. When it’s all going down, JQ's without a doubt- he came to play.†–Johnny Vidacovich
Jealous Monk was named Where Yat' Magazines 2007 "Best Hip-Hop Acts" and featured on NPRs "Morning Edition" along with Rebirth Brass Band.BOOKING INQUIRIES:[email protected]
