Jess J’s music can be classified in the same authoritative realm of T.I. or Rick Ross, but with the compassion of Tupac. You’ll hear the influences of a variety of artists, old and new, in Jess J’s music. With that being said, Jess J sounds like Jess J. Through his original music, Jess helps you feel and experience something missing in today’s world of hip-hop, realness.
Over the last couple of years, Jess J has been building a strong following throughout the south and southwest. Performing in various cities, Jess J's presence and energy have captivated audiences time and time again. In concert, Jess often displays characteristics of the elusive “It” factor.
What separates Jess from most artists today is that he is 100% self-contained. Jess J writes, produces, performs, arranges, mixes, & masters the vast majority of his music. Jess also promotes most of his concerts, including the “Get Money Stop Hatin” Tour that covered over 20 cities in 2009-2010.
To date, Jess has independently released one album and two mixtapes, combining to sell close to 20,000 units. Jess is currently recording material for a new album set to be released this year.
What sets Jess J’s music apart is his ability to make street music respected by the mainstream as well as mainstream music respected by the streets. His overall allure, empathy, and street savvy bring a new dimension to an old story that has been told many times before..

I've headlined concerts in over 20 states. Look out for the "S.T.A.N.D. U.P." Tour in 2012
Eminem and Jay Z are probably my biggest influences as far as putting words together. As far as demeanor and lane I'm in, probably closer to TI or Rick Ross. At the end of the day, Jess J is Jess J. But I've been influenced alot by all types of music.
