About Me

J THE MAN was born and raised in Ft. Worth, Texas where he attest to getting his game from. "Life in The Funk is really how I got to be the way I am today, that and my family," J THE MAN. After graduating in 1999 from Ft. Worth Polytechnic High School J THE MAN attended the University of Texas at Austin. Where after getting into trouble with the law and a lack luster college experience forced him to focus his life in areas that would eventually lead him to musicl. " I came to Austin a young man not really trying to do anything other than to just get by. I found myself lost. School was school, you know. I was getting a degree in a field I just couldn’t see myself being in for the rest of my life. So, I wasn’t putting forth the effort for success to happen. It was like I was going through the motions, not really living. I soon found myself in trouble with the cops, that’s when I decided I had to do something or just give up on life. My folks didn’t raise me to give up, so I sat down and decided if I was going to be a productive citizen I was going to be productive in something I loved." What was this love? Rap. "Rap music was something I’ve been into since forever, almost. It was something I used to do for fun. But when my options started running out I decided to run with it. I can honestly say that in some ways my rapping and love for rap music saved my life. Imagine that. I teamed up with The Judge (check his myspace) and have been running ever since" J THE MAN’s music is unique for Texas Rap/Hip-Hop. " I’m trying to bring lyricism back to the game. I take pride in my work ’cuz I love to do it and I also know where slackin’ off leads to and I ain’t for all that. Texas artist are beginning to be respected nationally and that’s big. So how could I help my state and the artist in Texas, if I waste my talents and opportunities with the same old B.S.? Naw, I wanna be better than that. That’s what I’m about and that’s the direction I take my music towards." Hustle hard J THE MAN, hustle hard.I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!

Sounds Like: J THE MAN I’m On Sixth Album DescriptionI’m On Sixth can be described as the following: Greatness. The byproduct of genius, coupled with the relentless pursuit of perfection. A monument to the level of triumph gained through perseverance. Confidence emboldened by the power of truth. The intersection in time where the present state of rap meets the future state of J THE MAN.I’m On Sixth has no limitations. I’m On Sixth is not a rap album. I’m On Sixth is not a commodity to be consumed hastily and then discarded with contempt. I’m On Sixth is a sound experience to be savored. I’m On Sixth is for the rap connoisseur with discriminating tastes. J THE MAN presents I’m On Sixth for those with palettes that yearn for diversity. I’m On Sixth is for those longing for subject matter of a broad spectrum. I’m On Sixth is for the brave, for those who seek only to be themselves. I’m On Sixth is for the whole person.I’m On Sixth is composed of twelve offerings, crafted to stand the test of time. As with all high quality purchases, the difference is in the details. The musical production is second to none. With selections like the soulful sounding ’Do My Thang’, dance inspired ’She Knows’, piano driven ’Test Me’, bounce powered ’Magic When I Rap’, the dramatic ’Get Somewhere’ and the strong guitar laced ‘I‘m On Top‘; it is clear that I’m On Sixth’s brilliance lies within the skilled workmanship of its craftsman. J THE MAN’s song writing ability and lyrical prowess is evident throughout. The opening lines from the second verse of ’Greatness’ sum up where J THE MAN is music wise:This race I’m running, I will never get tired./ Had two sticks, now the forest on fire/ If the game gotta flat, then I’m a spare tire/ I work for my self, I will never get fired/I’m On Sixth builds a solid bond with the listener, one that is based on respect and appreciation. A respect for what is present in the music, as well as an equal appreciation for that which has been left out. J THE MAN juggles truth and fantasy, while walking the tight rope of social relevance, a feat that few master.I’m On Sixth is a snapshot of life, framed in what is possible, and hung on the wall of faith, aside the mantle of self determination. J THE MAN paints his world with broad strokes of coolness, bright splashes of strength, and defined lines of purpose. I’m On Sixth is the definitive album for the life blood of Austin, Texas. I’m On Sixth is J THE MAN, and J THE MAN is the future.
