STAGE 1 DA MIXTAPEBIOGRAPHY Junior ( Nappy J) was born in west palm beach. Living in the streets of Lake Worth, wasn’t rough but it always had something going on. So in order for Junior ( Nappy J) too rise above those evens, he set aside all the events to become a rapper. Nappy J started writing lyrics at the age of 7. "It wasn’t anything anybody in the rap game alone would worry about or care about in that sense but I continually tried". But what made him really pursue becoming a rapper is listing to his brother, Mr. GC, everyday on the computer making tracks until 3 or 5 in the mourning. After he seen him doing that, at least, 4 days a week, he decided he wanted to do the same. "But me actually rapping wasn’t as easy as anybody would think It would be" Nappy J stated. "He never wanted me to rap because he think I would be wasting time just doing foolish stuff on the computer. Now that I look at it, he kind of had a point". As the years progressed, Nappy J practiced his rapping skills everyday in school, on the school bus, in the streets, and at home. At the age of 12, he finally got to use the software to make songs. "I SUCKED for the first time, but the skills were building. But the main reason why I kept practicing, and practiced on the recording software, is because the confidence I had in me, and the jokes my sister ( Jo-Jo, My favorite Sis) always told me about my rapping. She always told me that I sucked and that the stuff I talked about is all the same in each of my songs. Can we say tough love?" She’s real cool though. "To me, it seemed like she was just trying to tell the truth in a way." So at the age of 13, I finally set the my first song “Speeding remixâ€. "I didn’t know it would’ve been out like it would." So from there on, he has been making tracks that all his fans and all the homies could vibe too. Nappy J doesn’t really know when the first mixtape or album well be out, but be on the look-out because he's gonna hit the streets real hard!!
