About Me

COP THE LEAD SINGLE!!! LIKE A SKATEBOARD!!! NOW ON ITUNES!!!
CLICK THE PIC!! AND COP THE HOTTEST JOINT OUT!! MyGen Profile GeneratorThere are many different ways to convey talent. Sometimes talent is taught, and some like Chicago's own JDP were born with it.
Born on the south side of Chicago, JDP spend much of his youth writing his own stories based on things going on around him at the time. His mother instilled the passion for music in him at an early age, something the young artist carries with him to this day. Spending the latter half of his life outside of Chicago the artist began writing music at age 13. By 15, he had started his own label and sold copies of his music out of his backpack. Unlike the other kids, JDP's sole focus was and always has been: the music. In 2006 JDP teamed up with partner J-Twist to create Flyy City ENT. Since then the self proclaimed "Future of the game" has been making steady moves to make it to his goal, the top.
In a time when Hip Hop is being targeted by many as a dying breed and even its own artist are doubting the art form, JDP delivers his own brand of music to the masses. Combining his love of writing with his love of music, the artist delivers incredible joints. Every song is another piece of the puzzle matching an amazing flow with humor and wit. Ushering in what he calls "Motivation Music," JDP easily brings out the emotion of a track and represents all sides of the spectrum. His sound, is unique and fresh, his is a new voice in Hip Hop, an artist with the ability to hit and connect every time.
By 2007, JDP has already put accolades under his belt including a hit single "Like a skateboard", that received airplay all over the country as well as overseas. The song charted in Music Choice and found its way on ITUNES and numerous mixtapes. A remix to the song is currently in the works and features Fly Society artists Hit & Terry Kennedy. JDP has been the subject of various online magazines and blogs and in June of 2007 found himself participating in "Making the next hit with Lil Wayne." The artist made it to the 2nd round of the competition and received positive reviews for his performance. 2007 also saw JDP perform with major recording acts such as Rich Boy, Shawnna, Cap-1 & GLC as well as gaining songwriting credits for g-unit recording act Spider Loc.
So what's next?
With a unparalleled grind and determination JDP is poised for great things. Stepping up his songwriting game, JDP has worked with numerous up and coming artist in and outside of the Chicago area. The artist displayed his talents by working and writing for R&B artist as well as hip hop artist. His collaboration with R&B artist Taylor Mallory "On the low" is currently receiving airplay and positive feedback. His follow up single "I'm Fresh" has already began making noise, scoring a remix with Miami's own Benisour tha Don. His debut project "Defying Gravity" is still in the works and is planned for a 2008 release. His "only for the flyyest" campaign is in full effect with his Flyy City teammates grinding as well. The days ahead look bright for the JDP as he continues to climb toward his goals. Lookout for the future of hip hop music. Join the movement.
JDP.
