About Me
The Name..The Fame..The Game, All part of this BULLSHIT we call life. My name is Jae Reka and I reside in the belly of the beast, New Jeruz!! Im 20 years old, just out on these streets doin this rap thing, aint even trying to make it, just trying to get heard, ya heard. Word for word everything I spit about is true, unless im tellin a story, then Ill exagerate the truth, But Yo, I try my best to put you in my brain and my thought process when im writing and reciting, Thats just how I get down, But I dont have to explain much when All you gotta do is listen.To me Hip-Hop has become nothing more than a popularity contest. Sadly this once great art form has changed into one hit wonderland with a dance and new ringtone every month. Im not into all that bullshit, I make music that I would want to listen too, and what people like me want to hear. People say its cocky to listen to ya own shit, but fuck, I know what I want to hear so I make it.In 2001, I joined my first Rap Forum, MC2G.net. Started out text battling with my real life friend Seanie, me and him were 16 battling against these older dudes, making us better. It started as a joke before, but I fell in love with the Art. I quickly studied the methods of artists like Rakim, Biggie, Tupac, Canibus, the Wu-Tang Clan, as Well as emcees that I met on the board.In 2003 I made the transition to making audio. Started out with radio shack microphone and acid pro, with my cousin(Rap name Arkane) We started making tracks and posting on various boards around the net. I was determined to be one of the most revered cats out. Sites like Rapboard, Hollaboard, Holla-Front, Illesty, RapXML, 411Hype, Streetverbalz, Rapknowledge, HipHopFame all became stomping grounds and outlets for me to get my name heard.
