There is no denying that J HUS' return to the stage was anything but spectacular. Celebrating 5 years since the release of his second album, Big Conspiracy, fans joined at Royal Albert Hall to celebrate the album's legacy.

Accompanied by The Compozer and the Chineke Orchestra, the album was entirely brought to life, apart from a few songs missing from the setlist. His only guest of the night was his sister, Iceé Tgm, who opened the show with a spoken word on the album.

With an introduction set by the 32-piece orchestra, Hus entered the stage, met by the excitement and energy of a sold-out Royal Albert Hall to Helicopter before he dominated the stage for the hour he performed.
This show was a highly anticipated moment for Hus fans, especially after his absence from the UK tour. The atmosphere was electric from the moment he entered the hall, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience. Hus, acknowledging this, thanked his fans and delivered a show that was well worth the wait, a testament to his ability to shine on his stage.
As an album so rich in musicality and instrumentation, set by JAE5's production, the 5th-anniversary show displayed why it is somewhat of a sleeping gem compared to its predecessor, “Common Sense”. The show brought to life by the sounds of The Compozers and the Chineke Orchestra who brought the essence and the vibrancy to life in a different way.
No seat was taken; everybody was on their feet from start to finish. The hour-long set flew by as Hus gave us the hits from the album and the deep cuts. In addition to Iceé tgm, he was also joined by Billz, who kept the energy of the crowd at an optimum high as he, the orchestra, and the Compozers ushered through some of his other hits, which included Common Sense, Bouff Daddy, Friendly, and Dem Boy Paigens, a highlight of the night.
J HUS' influence on the UK rap scene is undeniable, and the Royal Albert Hall was a testament to his impact. Despite his trials and tribulations, his love and respect from fans and the industry remain unwavering. The night was not just a celebration of Big Conspiracy, but also a tribute to his legacy so far, a moment that was truly inspiring to witness.
