Jadakiss Life

Jason Terrance Phillips (born May 27, 1975), better known by his stage name Jadakiss, is an American rapper.

He is best known for being one third of the East Coast hip hop band The Lox, as well as being a member of Ruff Ryders and his solo career.

He is currently signed to both Def Jam Records and his own label, D-Block Records, which he co-founded with fellow Lox members D-Block Records.

Jadakiss has released four studio albums, the most recent being Top 5 Dead or Alive on November 20, 2015. Jadakiss began rapping in the mid-1990s as a member of The Lox, and the group eventually became known as Bad Boy Entertainment on Puff Daddy's record label Bad Boy Entertainment.

The group all joined Ruff Ryders, where they began on solo careers after leaving Bad Boy in 2000, with Jadakiss releasing his debut solo album Kiss Tha Game Goodbye in 2001.

Jadakiss has released three more solo studio albums, an album with The Lox, and a joint album with Fabolous since the introduction of his first album in 2001.

In 2007, Jadakiss signed to Roc-A-Fella Records and Def Jam Recordings, who also released his 2009 album The Last Kiss alongside Ruff Ryders Entertainment.

Early life

Jadakiss was born in Yonkers, New York, on May 27, 1975, and showed an early interest in hip hop. He started hustling after his parents begged him to work for himself at age 12. Since seeing other people do it on the street corner, he started freestyle raping for money. While freestyling, he eventually met Sheek Louch and Styles P.

Personal life

Jadakiss was arrested in North Carolina on July 5, 2004, on suspicion of smoking and unlawful firearms possession. Several months later, he signed a plea deal on misdemeanor charges and was fined $900.

Jadakiss was arrested in his hometown of Yonkers, New York, on suspicion of weapons and drug possession on October 7, 2006. Jadakiss was one of four men sitting in a 2006 Toyota Camry parked near the intersection of Nepperhan Avenue and Elm Street in Yonkers around 5 a.m. Saturday, according to a Yonkers Police Department spokesperson. Officers reported the vehicle's owner was behaving strangely and that they had noticed a strong odor of marijuana as they approached the car. A.38 caliber revolver was discovered inside the car, indicating that it had been stolen. According to The Associated Press, the weapon was loaded. All occupants were charged with unlawful firearms ownership; Jadakiss was also charged with marijuana use (a small amount was discovered on his person). Darnell Frazier, the driver, was charged with driving under the influence. Benjamin Lockhart and Kristian Smith were the two other men in the car. All were remanded to Westchester County Jail and were detained until at least Tuesday of the following week, when they were supposed to appear in court on Tuesday.

After police searched Jadakiss' Yonkers, New York apartment, they discovered heroin (5 grams) and marijuana (6.5 pounds). Jadakiss was neither present during the probe nor sought by the law enforcement agencies at any point. The incident occurred on the morning of August 24, 2009, and it began when an inquiry revealed the presence of marijuana inside the car driven by two men. Both men were reportedly in police detention and had been criminally charged.

Jadakiss Career

Career

Phillips grew a small underground fanbase and, at the age of 12, he entered a freestyle competition in Florida, where he attracted the attention of Ruff Ryders' owners. He formed The Warlox Consortium alongside Styles and Louch, and the three guys began to rap together. They eventually met Mary J. Blige, who, who was astonished by their songs, gave their demo to Puff Daddy, who changed the group to his name Bad Boy.

Puff Daddy shortened the Warlocks' name to simply The Lox after signing with Bad Boy. They were the first performers on Main Source's 1994 LP Fuck What You Think about? They immediately started writing and performing on hit songs with fellow Bad Boy artists, including Puff Daddy's "It's All About the Benjamins" and "I Got the Power," Mase's "24 Hrs." Mariah Carey's "Honey" is "I can't Get You Off My Mind" and The Notorious B.I.G. This week is "Last Day" in the United States. During which time, the group developed a close association with the B.I.G., during which Jadakiss was particularly taken under his wing. The Lox's first hit song was a salute to The Notorious B.I.G. "We'll Always Love Big Poppa" after his death in 1997. The song was chosen on the B-side of Puff Daddy's smash hit B.I.G. The tribute song "I'll Be Missing You" received widespread commercial success, earning multi-platinum recognition from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The success and reception of the album prompted them to write more of their own songs, and the Lox's debut studio album, Money, Power & Respect, was released in 1998. The album was both a commercial and critical success, peaking at number three on the Billboard 200 and number 1 on the US Top R&B/Hip Albums chart, and going on to win platinum status. Despite the fact that the album was a hit, the Lox became dissatisfied with Bad Boy and Puff Daddy's sleek, radio friendly film, realizing that it clashed with their grimier street style. Following the success of their debut album, Ruff Ryders left the brand to sign with Ruff Ryders. We Are The Streets was Ruff Ryders' second album, which was their second album. The album was once more a hit, peaking at number 5 on the Billboard 200 and number two on the US Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart. It featured production from Swizz Beatz and Timbaland, and it culminated in the development of "Ryde or Die, Bitch," a Ruff Ryders artist Eve's first single.

In 2001, Jadakiss began to work as a solo artist, and his debut album, Kiss Tha Game Goodbye, was released on the Ruff Ryders/Interscope label in August 2001. The album featured famous guests and producers such as DJ Premier, The Alchemist, DMX, Eve, Snoop Dogg, Nas, and Swizz Beatz, which went on to be certified gold by the RIAA and sold over 200,000 copies in the first week of its debut. Despite commercial success, critics who mocked the album for being repetative and uninspired. Jadakiss has acknowledged the allegations as factual, claiming that the effort was not motivated by inspiration but rather out of contractual obligations to Bad Boy. Styles P, "Knock Yourself Out," and "Put Ya Hands Up" were among the album's three singles, "We Gonna Make It" featuring Styles P, "We Gonna Make It," and "Put Ya Hands Up." Jadakiss appeared on this album with the song Kiss of Death, which was first released in June 2004. Snoop Dogg, Eminem, The Lox, Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Nate Dogg, DJ Quik, and others make guest appearances.

His song "Why?

"Mega" - a tribute to Anthony Hamilton and produced by Havoc of Mobb Deep, became one of the year's biggest hits, sparking a remix with Styles P, Common and Nas.

"Why?"

The Jadakiss' biggest hit remains his at #01 on the Billboard Hot 100, with the Billboard Hot 100 at #11. The song has also been criticized for a line in which Jadakiss claims he believes George W. Bush planned the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Mariah Carey's album "U Make Me Wanna" debuted at number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100, ranking number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 for another year. The album was both a commercial and critical success, receiving more accolades than his predecessor album and debuting at number one on both the Billboard 200 and the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums charts. Jadakiss signed to Roc-A-Fella Records in late 2007, a move Jay had been planning for a long time. In 2006, Jadakiss and former rival Beanie Sigel collaborated on DJ Khaled's album Listening... the Album, and Freeway's album Free At Last came as a result of increased D-Block/Roc-a-Fella collaborations; in 2006, Jadakiss and former rival Beanie Sigel collaborated on DJ Khaled's album Listening... the Album; and Freeway's album Free At Last appeared.

In 2009, Jadakiss' long-awaited and awaited third studio album, The Last Kiss, was released. In October 2008, Ne-Yo's first single, "By My Side," was released. In 2009, two more singles, "Can't Stop Me" and "Death Wish" starring Lil Wayne, were released. Swizz Beatz and OJ Da Juiceman made one of the year's best singles, "Who's Real," which was released later this year. In 2010, Jadakiss set Roc-A-Fella records. He appeared on two DJ Khaled tracks, one of which featured Mary J. Blige and Fabolous, and the remix of "Welcome to My Hood" starring Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, Twista, Mavado, Birdman, Ace Hood, Fat Joe, and Waka Flocka Flame, as well as Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, Twista, Mavado, Ace Hood, Game, Bun B Jadakiss' Mixtape Consignment, hosted by DJ Drama, was released on April 26, 2012.

Fabolous posted a picture on Instagram with Jadakiss, hinting at the unveiling of a joint project with Jadakiss titled Freddy vs. Jason on February 29, 2016. Fabolous and Jadakiss released a freestyle of Future's "Wicked" from Purple Reign on April 2, 2016, but it did not make the album's final cut. It would not be a mixtape, but rather a complete album, according to the label. Future's first and only single "Stand Up" was released on October 31, 2017. On November 21, 2017, the album name was changed to Friday on Elm Street. Future, Jeezy, Styles P, French Montana, and Yo Gotti appear on the album, which was released on November 24, 2017.

"The Champ Is Here, Pt., was first published on his 2010 mixtape. 3, and responding to Cam'ron's words on "Welcome to New York City" that the Lox did not have a New York City record that could not beat it with his verse on "New York" (Jadakiss also performed the verse when Fat Joe (who was in the audience for the Lox-Diplomats Verzuz) and Ja Rule met each other in the subsequent Verzuz in the same venue).

Following their triumph, Lox music's streams increased by 215 percent, including Jadakiss' "Who Shot Ya?"
