About Me

First off thank u for viewing my page, I appreciate the interest in what I do, represent, and stand for! For those that know or dont know I started off beat boxing and freestyling in high school and quickly drew a love for this genre of music! This was at a time when eminem was changin the hip hop game with dre, ice cube was duin it with his back into it, and the cash money millionaires were bling blingin! 2 years into writing in my freetime away from hobbies, school work, and friends, i knew this was what i wanted to do. I realized I was good at something and maintained a strong work ethic when it came to music and lyrics! At this time I had taken on the nickname J-Smooth...everyone of my peers knew me as that as a teen! I got the name by my style and the way i talk. It quickly caught on to the ears of many! Today, 10 years later, I take on the name J2da ( J-2da-Smooth), or 2da boi, an abbreviated form of the original stage name! For those that cant enunciate, it goes like this( Jay tuda). The "u" may be pronounced in its short form or long form,(uh or yu). So for those that ask what my tat is on my neck, i broke it down! It has been a long ,heartfelt, grueling, emotional experience to where i am today and how my music reflects my life! I take nuthin for granted and I remain focused on my goal as an artist! I am the diamond in the rough of original hip hop music and my voice will be heard! I thank every fan and friend that has shown support for this movement and Black Sheep promises.. we wont let u down! I strive to do the next right thing. My granddad told me," if you say you cant.. then you wont, but if you work at it and try...then you already did!" Thank u for your time and please enjoy the music you hear...I love everybody! Oh and one more thing, make people earn your trust. Never grant it initially! D.T.E ( Don't Trust Everybody)- urboi 2da! Make sure you check out my partners in crime with Black Sheep Ent., MIC, Swagga, and Jay Bugsy-WE DUIN IT! This profile was made at www.profiletweaks.com

Influences: Oh man where do i begin...? Well as far as my love for hip hop is concerned, two original southernplayaylistic storytellin geniuses influenced and broadened my thinking and writing. Folks Im talkin bout two of the best lyrical and versatile artists the rap game will ever see... the one and only Outkast. Props to Antwan Patton "Big Boi" and Andre Benjamin "Andre’ 3000". You two are legendary to me. Definitely definitely Busta Rhymes! Of course the billboard of hip hop Nasir Jones...I love just listenin’ to that nigga. He makes his listeners inspired and have the desire to change the way he or she has been livin for the better. He just makes sense and ive enjoyed viewin his words in story form whether forward or reverse as he projects a situation through vivid description verbatim. Nas u have inspired me brother. Lets see uh... DMX, Jay-Z, The Lox, Em, AZ, Kanye West, Talib Kweli, Common, Dipset, The Neptunes, Clipse, Fabo, Luda, Deathrow, Cash Money, "..that street shit 50 Cent on Guess Who’s Back?...now a nigga sing on every track..uh yes you wack.."(those are original lyrics dont bite that haha!), the under ground world of hip hop- Haystak, La chat, Gangsta Boo, Techn9ne___these artist have taught me how to go about climbin up the ropes through underground hip hop. Lots of work work work, and dedication...but first u gotta have heart. I possess nothing but heart and it is a hustle in this cut throat business. D.T.E. ( Do not Trust Everybody). From the Eagles, Steve Miller Band, The Jackson 5, and The Temptations to Gwen Stefani, Michelle Branch, Lynkin Park, and all singer song writers of R and B music, I love it all!I just hope my soon to be fans and listening crowd can hear my influences driven through personal experiences in my music. Oh yea and like my man Musiq Soulchild Say," ...time waits for nuthin, and everything is gonna take its time for it to happen"- Musiq
Sounds Like: ...one of the most original, genuine artists a listener will hear whether a fan of commercial industry music or underground music! Fans of all genres can appreciate my sound and what I have to say! Compare me to whomever u wish...you will find more contrast and originality then similarities to other artists! I am one of a kind and I will always meet that personal expectation.
