About Me

I was born and raised in a small town outside of Houston and I plan to rep it to the fullest with this hip hop shit. And when I say hip hop, I mean hip hop. Right now I feel the south (Houston in particular) is not being repped right in the public eye when it comes to hip hop. I want to prove that it's more to us southern cats than moneys, hoes, clothes, etc. So be on the look out for my new mixtape "The Definition" coming soon. I'm naming it the "The Definition" because I feel like I'm at a point in my life where I really know who I am and what I'm about....and that's on a spiritual, political, and mental level. So in a sense this mixtape will be defining me. My main goal as a artist is to be creative, different, and to never come wack on wax.....cause ain't nothin worst than a wack rapper who think he's dope. I consider myself a true hip hopper in every sense, so I plan to make my music for the true hip hoppers out there in the world. Jahari is a African originated name, which means "Young, Strong, and Powerful. Kavi is a Hindu originated name which means "poet." Put the two together and you get a "Young, strong, and powerful poet"....which I am. ......
