Jig Insane was an abnormally gifted child born into hardship and music. Born and raised in the Holy City section of Chicago's infamous wicked West-Side, Jig saw a part of life many choose to think only resides in movies and videos, and knows the burden of a poverty stricken family.
Jig always had a gift of piecing words together that gave the reader/listener imagery and a feeling that he was speaking directly to them about their personal lives, even if he had never known them. He would later turn his writings and poetry into lyrics by the encouragement of his two best friends Desert Ease and Mekanismn.
Being a late bloomer to hip-hop and rap, Jig has always considered himself a poetic lyricist and approaches every song as an individual project and aims to have each and every offering become something special, a classic piece of material that can one day be considered timeless.
Introduced to the rhythmic art around 96' at the age of 13, Jig quickly backtracked and became more knowledgeable than some on his soon to be expression of choice. Despite his many accomplishments, Jig remains grounded to the fact one of his many mantra's is, "I am no better than anyone else, and no else is better than me."
Not relying on gimmicks and image for his artistic expressions has earned Jig the respect of virtually everyone who encounters his words and persona. Always flexible, as the streets of Chicago require street smarts as well as common sense, and the business savvy and not-so overbearing bravado makes Jig someone to keep an eye on in the future. With his mesmerizing stories to witty wordplay, and engaging topics, and fearless project foresights, Jig is someone that will touch everyone's soul, mind and hearts.
Upcoming projects to look for that i'm working on:
Looptopia, a huge event in the heart of Chicago, Downtown, and I will be performing alongside the V-Cast. However I have been a solo to offer, right now i'm leaning towards "Girl Interrupted" a track i wrote quite a few years ago but falls in line wit the theme V-Cast wants to set. Le me know if its anything else those who have been blessed with my words might like to hear; and if you will be there.
