J.R. began playing with a toy keyboard that his parents had bought for him at Goodwill. Instantly J.R. fell in love with music and began singing harmonies to the tunes that he would create. A neighborhood friend sister was going out with a Local rapper signed to a major, and J.R. saw this as opportunity to get into the industry. J.R. formed a group with his brother DaZo and another friend, and began to record their first demo in the garage with two radios put together, a microphone and Too Short instrumentals. They submitted their demo tape to the Local Rap Star but never heard back from him. Disappointed and in need for money, J.R. and Dazo began to turn to the streets to get money fast and began to deal with drugs that the O.G.’s of the neighborhood would supply them with.
