J Da Proph3t, born James Spencer Stokes Jr., is a self taught artist in the Chicago rap scene. He was born and raised on the south and west sides of Chicago, which is a recurrent theme in the art he produces. His music focuses on the revitalization of hip-hop, trap, and rap, and he is inspired heavily by the musical greats like Lil Wayne, 2pac, and Travis Scott, but you will also catch traces of sixties funk and rhythmic beats in his productions. He’s been working at his artistry since he was eighteen, but started taking it seriously after his false indictment of murder, which landed him in jail for about three years, where he was able to study legends from even more diverse genres like R&B and Country, which allowed him to perfect his craft in a way that was both unique and yet relatable. He never saw obstacles as boundaries but rather as opportunities to interpret and beautify through his art. J Da Proph3t is motivated by his passion to create music that discusses themes of love, pain, family, and personal successes, and he is electrified by his determination to perfect his craft and elevate the music scene.

Though rapping is his current focus, he is also the CEO of Primal Prophecies based in Newport Beach, California, which is an up and coming organization that provides funding to young artists pursuing a musical career in line with his ideals to transform the rap scene. His focus on developing Black talent allows him to delve deep into his artistry and produce music that not only speaks to where he’s been, what he’s seen, and what he’s hoped for in the past, but also speaks to the promise of the future he will create as a result of these ambitions. He is currently growing his supporter base in California and Chicago, and will have show dates posted soon.
