My Bio:
My full name is Jason Paul La Bella. But only my Parents call me Jason, I go by Jay. I was born May 31st 1979 in Staten Island, NewYork. I am 100% Italian and grew up on the South Shore end of Staten Island.When I was 9 my parents got divorced and I was a very troubled kid. I would always fuck around and get into some kind of trouble. Getting suspended from school was a monthly occurrence. In 7th grade, I was expelled for blowing up the school water fountain with a blockbuster. A year later after getting kicked out of Eggbert (IS 2), my family pleaded with IS 75 to let me back there to finish 8th grade under intense supervision. Even though I was not allowed to attend the prom or Great Adventure trip (which I cut and went Anyway) I finished Jr. High School. In the summer going into high school I was sent away to football camp. I was dealing with my anger issues out on the Football field and was actually good at it. I wound up becoming obsessed with the game football. I did very well, but more importantly the Tottenville high school football program was what kept me out of a lot of trouble. After 2 undefeated seasons rocking the Pirate's infamous number 69, I lead my team in sacks. Also while keeping my grades up, I knew that I had what it took to get into college for free. After my first season my mother moved to Arizona. I was suposed to move with her, but I wanted to stay playing Football for my team. So I Started working & Hustling Full time and working at a Pizza Shop across from my High school. At that time I had gotten an apartment with the help of my uncle. He had said it was for him and I lived on my own while finishing high school. It was actually pretty hot when we would cut out and go Back 2 my apartment. I was definitely the only kid in High School with his own Crib. But I wanted to stay in NYC and I had to do what I had to do. Anyway Shit was Going Well After our second undefeated season I couldn't wait to return the next Season and get another championship when In the summer of 1996, I was out at a nightclub on Midland Ave collecting money from a party that I threw there the week before. Now some real fucked up shit went down and during a brawl in front of the club I was stabbed 3 times in the Spleen, Chest ,lung and liver with an 9 inch hunting knife. Thinking that I only got punched in the ribs, I tried to get back in the club to get the rest of my crew. Then I saw I was leaking blood all over the floor like a faucet and I saw my Spleen was in the middle of the street. I ripped off my shirt and stuffed it inside the hole that I had in my back. I Then walked across the street, passed out and died. I remember seeing my boys screaming around me rioting. I even remember one of my Boys Punching me in my face, but the paramedics had me flat lined. I was rushed to Staten Island Hospital where on the way in the ambulance I supposedly came back and then flat lined again. I arrived at the hospital DOA I remember in the hospital a female doctor was standing over me screaming "He is only 17. Try again." I was seeing everything that was going on in the emergency room. Finally after 7 and a half minutes they brought me back to life. The only doctor that could perform the surgery that I needed was a Doctor out of Chicago. That Doctor just so happened to be staying over night at The Staten Island Hotel. Because the next day he was to be holding a seminar on that same surgery that I needed. The doctor was taking by helicopter to the hospital and he saved my life. After my coma, I remained in the hospital for several months. My family was in the process of suing the club for there maximum policy of $32,000,000. Because that night was a teen party for kids ages 18 and under only. The club was not allowed to be serving alcohol that night, but they were anyway. They were also responsible for serving alcohol to the guy that stabbed me. And that man was 25, so he wasn't even supposed to be in the club in the first place. So it was of no surprise that club's insurance company offered us an immediate $7,000,000 out of court settlement. Now the only way they could cut us a check and settle was an arrest had to be made. That was the only way the insurance company would have been able to release the funds for the settlement. Now Because I Am Not A Fucking Rat , I Would Not Press Charges. I decided to throw the case out. Now That's Just How Fucking Real I Am. You Literally Cant Pay Me To Snitch. Period the end! When I was asked by everyone why I didn't take the money. I just said Fuck that, I aint no snitch! If GOD wants me to be a millionaire It aint gunna be that way. Hopefully he will make me rich some other way. But I was not going to get rich by putting someone away for 20 years. That's just not me. So anyway, When I returned to school obviously my football days were over. I really had no interest in school since my intentions were to Play football in college and eventually attend Law school . After a month I dropped out of high school. A few months after that I received my GED. That is when I began my adventure on Wall Street. lol... That shit was really fun while it lasted. I made a lot of money, and met a lot of good people, and after 4 years it all came to an end . In June of 2000 I was arrested by the FBI and was indicted with 154 others on a $682,000,000 indictment. It was and still is the largest securities case in US History. Again keeping my mouth shut and losing everything, I had to spend some time away. In 2001 I plead a No Contest and did my Federal Bid at Allenwood FPC in Pennsylvania. Again I met a lot of really good people there. It wasn't bad at all, it was like a resort. We had everything from racquetball, to a 60 inch big screen with NFL Sunday ticket in the pool table room. The only things we didn't have there, was pussy or access to the golf course. I smoked many blunts and read many books. I started reading a lot of Hip-Hop magazines like the Source, Vibe and XXL. Now between the magazines and the thousands of debates we were having on the "Who's Hot & Who's Not" in the music industry, I started taking a more serious interest in the business. When I got home from Prison I Linked up with an old friend Anthony Volpe Jr. Anthony aka Fortune was a very talanted lyricist, emcee and song writer . Now after prision I was still required to wear an ankle bracelet and was stuck on 9 months Home confinement. I was in Arizona, I was away from New York stuck in my house and was even more focused on music. Thats when I started working with Fortune via telephone and Internet everyday and was creating some really hot tracks for the F-N-F group aka Fortune & Fame. A few months later I was asked by Fortune to manage him while simultaneously getting involved in starting up Blatant Entertainment LLC. Because of conflicts and mainly that my partner really didn't know what the fuck he was doing, I signed myself off the company. Knowing this, I did not sign Fortune. After violating my parole in 2004, I had to go away again on one more vacation. This time I resided at Riverside Support Center upstate New York. In Riverside I had unlimited access to phones and because of that I remained in contact with all my outside connections. Plus the fact that I had almost a year of time on my hands. Starting with a jail logo, filling out paperwork and cooperate structures, I started Back2Back Records. Fortune was to be the first artist to pop off with the label. We stayed in touch almost everyday and worked on things over the telephone. On August 28th 2004 Fortune died. I had only 60 days left and I would have been home and off parole. Fortune's death fucked me up real bad. It was like I lost my brother that I never had. In 2005 after finishing my time, I tried to start up Back2Back Records again. This time without Fortune around, and I was unsuccessful. At that time I took a break from music and was working in the mortgage industry for a little over a year. Keeping my ear to the streets, I found myself drifting back into the music industry and that's when I discovered the raw talent of the upcoming NYC based rap group Ghotta Be Hood . At that point I knew the deal and I put all my time into the Ghotta Be Hood project. Several months later after creating Back2Back head bangas I landed myself the distribution deal I needed to get things done. Anyway if you know me then you know I am as real as it gets. So if you don't know me and your talking shit, "I don't know You. So keep Talking Its all good. But then again, I don't know you." lol So if you want to get to know me send a friend request. If your a male that it 100% No Homo. I am extremely busy so if I don't get back to you, its because I am busy, not because I am cocky. Leave me a comment to show your support. I will try and return the favor. I am currently in the process of working on 3 different albums for the Back2Back family of artists. So You will definitely be seeing them in stores soon.
Much Love
