J-PRAIZE A New Beginning!

Growing up in St. Albans Queens N.Y., the youngest of 15 kids wasn't easy to say the least. But J knew he had to make his mark on the world someway somehow. The chance came when he was living in Hampton, VA after getting out of the military (Air Force). A friend of a friend gave a beat cd to 50 Cent. "Yo I had the beat for a few months before I laid it down," 50 said to J when they 1st met in the studio to lay the track down. "You gonna get plaques for this right here." All J could do is smile and wonder what it was going to be like to actually get paid for what he loved to do. How many people can say that they helped to launch an artist's debut album to diamond ( over 10 million records sold) status..?? And a sound track to 5 million (multi-platinum) records sold..?? Well, J-Praize can because he did just that when he produced the classic track for 50 Cent's 1st single "Wanksta." The track solidified 50 in NY and around the country and eventually the world. It went on the "8 Mile soundtrack" and "get Rich Or Die Tryin'." "The ground swell was amazing for the record" said J. "It's very rare that a record goes from the streets (mix tape) to a multi-platinum selling soundtrack album, and then to go onto a debut alubum that sells diamond-that just doesn't happen in reality man." Well, I guess sometimes reality is better than T.V. And as they say the rest is history.. You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !
