B.I.G. said it the best ;†either you slangin crack rock, or you gotta wicked jump shot!"
This 23 year old “JOE. B†grew up in East Chicago’s Harbor side where it is murder infested, everybody is a Gangster Disciple, does drugs, sales drugs, and was a great basketball player at one point in their lives. While playing high school ball Joe. B kept his street ties with his “Folks“ THE GANGSTER DISCIPLES and BLACK DISCIPLES.†“Being out on the grind or on bullshit late nights smoking, drinking, and free styling was something we did it to make time go by.†“We would rap about things going on in the streets.†“Later on, I started recording freestyles in one of my guys basement that I knew for around the way.†“ He took rap serious but he didn’t have the right equipment.†“If you messed up we had to rewind the tape and start from the beginning!†Yeah, rewind THE TAPE! We still loved to record because it was fun.â€
In the year 2001 Joe. B helped form a group with 5 other rappers, and 2 producers called T.G.E. they recorded a album and sold a great number of copies . The group quickly split up because of creative differences. â€At the time I wanted to rap about the streets and everybody else in the group wanted to rap about partys and going to the club.†“The gang wars and real beef going on in the streets is what I wanted to talk about. My best friend(G. Felony) that I called my brother had just gotten locked up for attempted murder,and like 5 of my niggaz had just got killed. Retaliation was always coming and going. So, I wanted to talk about our life. That G.D. and B.D. lifestyle you dig?†Joe. B ,and a long time friend (Nigmattics) formed a new group with some of the best rappers from the other side of the city(West Calument). Then, quickly started a Indie record label called HIGH POWERED ENTERTAINMENT. The group contained the top five emcees of the city.(JOE. B, NIGMATTICS, BILLY KANNON, MIKE JERN, and FLOW) They recorded an instant city classic album (“OFF THA WALL,†EP) that was released and soon followed by the groups break up in 2003 because of egos and creative differences. All the group members still remain tight. Joe. B took and brief break from Rap, but now Joe. B is solo and proclaiming himself as The Almighty Emcee, The Almighty Joe. B, or also known as The Radio Killa. In Joe B’s eye view he can do it all on the microphone and is the best at it, according to the streets and his new crew The Hood Veterans or The Hood Vets preferably. HOODVETS......
