J-Sweetz was born in Newark, NJ in the Ivy Hill Apartments & then later the Hoodavillie section. His stage name is an abbreviation of his government name, Jason Sweet.The story of him rapping is odd.Never a fan of rap prior, his older brother was always in the house bumping rap music & one day watched & recorded Method Man's "M.E.T.H.O.D MAN" video on video music box. After watching the video & falling in love with the song, as well as hip hop in one tune, he walked to his local park reciting rhymes to his friends that he thought was Method's words to the song...it wasn't. Instead it was his calling, realizing HE was rapping HIS own rhymes.After friends kept urging him that he can rap & keep going, J soon became the local dude that can rhyme good at the young age of 9, realizing that he truely received a gift from GOD. After sitting back, studying, & loving the genre of hip hop, thanks to listening to guys such as Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, & numerous others, J soon began engaging in hip hop cyphers, battles, and homemade demos with friends around his neighborhood. But he didn't take it serious at first, as he began rap on then off again. But his calling soon got a full hold of him as he began rapping more & taking it serious. Then when he got word that his closest cousins Redlight Entertainment was making noise down in Bethlehem & Allentown, PA, J wasted no time visiting then eventually moving down there & linking up with his family. From there J began making several features on Redlight group albums, mixtapes, & Red Mcfly's solo albums & mixtapes. He recently just dropped his own album titled "Welcome 2 My World" & plans on stopping no time soon.
