Album Notes

The Real J-Mill. Books, websites, rap – the man is a Certified Hustler. By compiling his knowledge of rap into a book to teach others, and creating a website to cater to niche markets, J-Mill has taken the initial steps into making him hip-hop’s next impresario. Music-wise? J-Mill is the best you’ve never heard…until now.

Every successful businessman realizes the importance of diversity. Russell Simmons had clothes, music, and Def Poetry. Master P had ‘hood movies and Nickelodeon shows. By doing something fresh, exciting, and new (writing How 2 Rap), J-Mill has created a lane that is entirely his own – one that will make him the next hip-hop impresario. Not the next Master P or the next Dame Dash – it’ll make him the first J-Mill.

J-Mill aka Jamaal Makin It Livin Large has been rapping as long as he can remember. "I’ve always felt a connection to the world through music," the seasoned rapper reflects. But it wasn't until a short time later that J-Mill realized that his connection was stronger than he’d thought. What started out as writing rhymes at home in his room, turned into picking up the microphone and ripping crowds at local talent shows and the like. Anywhere J-Mill could be heard, he made his stage and after graduating high school, so began his descent on the music industry.

In 2001 J-Mill was signed to an independent label in Baltimore, MD and decided to pursue music full time as a career. Due to business matters and poor management, the deal fell through and J-Mill was back to square one. With a hard lesson learned and a short hiatus, J-Mill erupted back on the scene in 2004, honing his craft and creating unstoppable rhymes. He’s also added published author to his resume, as J-Mill recently released his new book “The Official How To Rap Manual” (www.how2rap.com), distributed by his own label, Streetz Certified Records. The Book is also available on Amazon and has been getting great reviews by its readers.
