In a wide-ranging interview with Rolling Out, Jussoul opened up about his single "Home," his remarkable personal journey, and the community work that drives him beyond the music.
On "Home"
Jussoul described "Home" as a song designed to guide listeners back to themselves. "It's about the realization that true peace and fulfillment are often found where you started," he told Rolling Out. The track blends soulful storytelling with rich vocals, and since its release has resonated deeply with fans navigating their own journeys of self-discovery.
"I wrote 'Home' for the person who has been running so hard they forgot what they were running toward. Sometimes the answer is right behind you."
From Lagos to Chicago
The interview also covered Jussoul's extraordinary backstory — growing up in Lagos, selling goods on the street, and eventually finding his way to Chicago where music became his full-time calling. His story is one of relentless belief in the face of impossible odds.
Giving Back
Jussoul spoke passionately about his work supporting the homeless community in Chicago — a cause that is directly tied to the message of "Home." He recently partnered with Home Depot to build and donate bikes to children in Bolingbrook, IL, and continues to use his platform to advocate for those without shelter.
