Lena Jackson

Lena Jackson is an award nominated hip-hop artist hailing from Raleigh, North Carolina. Jackson started penning poetry as a
child, but in her early teens became intrigued by rap cipher sessions she would see in school cafeterias. Her obsession with hip-hop inspired her to exchange poetry stanzas for rap bars, and sharpen her craft as a hungry emcee.

Lena Jackson has rocked on the same bills as icons Toni Braxton, Dead Prez, and Skyzoo. She has performed at events such as A3C Festival, Beats N Bars Festival, Pittsburgh Pride, featured on Shade 45 Radio, and has been nominated for a Carolina Music Award in the Best Female Hip-Hop category (2018). Additionally, Jackson has been showcased as a “New Face of Tradition” millennial artist by the North Carolina Arts Council/Duke University, and featured in INDY Week’s publication as one of “Fifteen Women To Follow” on the hip-hop scene.

Referred to as "The Wolf" by her musical peers, Lena Jackson’s aggressive cadences and energetic performances expose her raw talent and spirited personality. With profound messages, eccentric personality, and powerful delivery, Lena Jackson is prepared to interject a different, deeper and doper perspective into the rap game.
