About Me
Busting onto the scene in the late 90s, Big Jacks (aka Jacksploitation) has been working hard to ensure whatever endeavour he's involved in becomes and remains a successful one. It wasn't till spring 2001, when Backroad Radio (105.5) first hit the Toronto airwaves, that people started to take notice of the movements of a young Jacks as a DJ. To this day, the founding member of the show, has been committed to producing the program each week, delivering only the best in new, classic, and forgotten hip hop gems to a devoted local and international audience.
2005 has seen Big Jacks further his involvement as a radio personality, take his duties to the next level, and broaden his horizons. March marked the debut of Mixtape Massacre (88.1), hosted by the big man himself. Alongside Linx & Taktiks, the trio won the opportunity to fill the shoes of their Saturday afternoon's predecessors (Fantastic Voyage, Powermove, Real Frequency). Ushering in a new era for Toronto and continuing the tradition the high profile slot is known for.
Through these radio shows, persistence, hard work, and hunger Big Jacks has rose from becoming not only a DJ that can be heard but seen. Being booked at a number of events around Toronto/GTA and beyond (New York City, Ottawa, Montreal, etc). Making various live appearances from concerts/clubs, to radio and television. Some of these past events include sharing the stage with artists such as: Masta Ace, Boot Camp, Talib Kweli, and many more. As well as making numerous television and radio appearances on: Much Music's Vibe and Da Mix, NBA XL, and WNYU 89.1's Halftime Show w/ DJ Eclipse.
This is only the beginning of the ball in motion. To Jacks the limitations for himself and Black Rap are endless, with many more goals to be reached and surpassed everyday.
