Born and raised in Penns Grove, New Jersey, Jeff Clark aka JC "The Truth" made his way to the underground hip-hop scene about four years ago.
Influenced by the streets and his neighborhood, JC started writing street poetry; stories about relationships, friends and family members at the young age of fourteen.

In 2000, after hardships at home, JC left Penns Grove to find his destiny. "The day I left I had a ten dollar bill in my pocket and the clothes on my back. I went to my boy's crib and he gave me a ride to (at the time) my girlfriend's house." After leaving his girlfriends home, he struggled on the streets for a while; homeless, taking showers at truckstops, sleeping on strangers sofa's and floors, and at one point living out of his car. "I just remember laying in the back seat of my maroon 1983 Volvo, which my uncle bought for me thinking... Jesus, it's got to get better than this. I lost a bunch of weight, the damn heater didn't work in the whip, and it was in the middle of December, so I was freezing my ass off. Back then, I really didn't think I'd ever make it out of that situation. Back then, I didn't think anyone cared, so I was just ready to say... **** it." JC's godparents made a phone call one day and found JC at his best friend house asking for a place to stay. That exact same day, JC moved in with his godparents in Woodstown, NJ. Slowly, he was able to put his life on track, with a healthy environment, and positive family who supported him.

After being pointed in the right direction in 2001, JC decided to move across the Deleware River to the city of Philadelphia. There... he would pursue his career in entertainment through The Art Institute Of Philadelphia. "At first I didn't know how the hell I was going to pay for college. I wanted to stay off the streets and get my education, but I didn't know how to do anything... you know? I had to have a plan, so this is what I did... I had like three credit cards I maxed out because of my car. I went ahead and paid off two of them, and my uncle and good friend from Staten Island helped me pay off the other one. In doing that... I earned good credit. Then I was actually qualified to get loans from Sallie Mae. I got approved, enrolled myself into the summer quarter."

In college JC would begin his journey into the realm of music. "I basically taught myself how to produce music. I already knew who to use audio/video programs from classes, like Pro-Tools, and Premiere. But I wanted to make hip-hop beats. And I was always a huge fan of hip-hop, way before I could even write it. My father was a musician and had his own band. So I grew up around music. I did my research for a few weeks, and found out about this program Fruity Loops, so I got me a copy. After about... three months of trial and error, I figured it out and made my first real instrumental, which is actually now one of my songs... Collar Popper. Before that, I was using other people's beats, or just rapping to friend's beat boxing. But you know... I had to take it another step further. I felt something was there, and I wanted to see where I could go with it. So I did."

After graduating with a Bachelor Of Science in Media Arts & Animation in 2004, JC moved to NYC. "I knew that if I went back to my hometown, I'd get caught up in the streets again, and there was nothing left for me in Jersey but bad memories, so I decided to move on. I moved in with my uncle on Staten Island and started over... again."

JC went to acting school for a year, while still producing music in his uncle's attic. After finishing up acting school in 2006, he moved into his own place on Staten Island. Now... JC produces everything out of his home studio... from the lyrics.... to the instrumentals... to the final product. "When it's all said and done... I just want to give people hope, you know? I want to give people the vision to see through my lyrics, that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and things can be better. It's amazing what somone can accomplish when they live from their heart. And when it's mind over matter, anyone can change thier life around. All you need is the confidence to fight for what you believe in. Music is what I believe in. It's my God given therapy."
