Biography from -All Music Guide-
Coming from East Oakland, J-Dubb's style of rapping tends to feature the traditional gangsta subject matter -- money, sex, drugs, power, ghetto life, and staying true to the streets -- much in the spirit of his West Coast peers, particularly the Bay Area camp surrounding Ant Banks, Too Short, and E-40. In 1995, J-Dubb released Game Related, which didn't do well nationally but established his presence on the West Coast. Five years later, he followed up this debut with Money, Trees & Real Estate on Desperado Records, featuring the single "Life" with Too Short. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide

-Davey D 1997-
His new track 'Hard Knox' which features J-Dubb who was formerly known as Kool Rock J and WC is one of my favorite grooves.. It has that West Coast Bay Area sound..and lots of bass..

-Rick Lobley 2001-
Straight from the streets of East Oakland, California comes J-Dubb and his second album Money, Trees & Real Estate. This new offering from J-Dubb (who critics say is the most famous rapper without a recent release) is a follow-up to the well received and regionally successful Game Related e.p. (1995), which sold over 35,000 copies throughout the West Coast.
