It all started in the year of 1999 when M. A. J. produced his first album called the Fat Pocket Boyz Compilation. This album was recorded on a four track recorder. M. A. J. and his brother J. Gotti decided to partner up and start their own record label called Fat Pocket Records. At the same time they had just completed The Fat Pocket Boyz Compilation entitled We Clicked Up. The Fat Pocket Boyz consist of 9 artists: Bark, T-Rock, Playa T., J. Gotti, Searcy B., Assasin, Montana, Nick da Villian and more At that time he was a sophomore at Banneker High School in College Park, GA. That album moved over 300 copies alone at his high school.
In 2001, M. A. J. produced his second album that went by the named of Goodfellaz, It aint over. This album had better sound quality because he invested over two thousand dollars into new studio equipment. This album consists of 14 slamming tracks that will bang the cover off your sub woofers. The Goodfellaz provided open performances for Pastor Troy, T-Rock, Intoxicated, and 404 Soldiers. M.A.J. really developed a lot of respect as a producer and rapper in Atlanta from this CD. This opened up his opportunity to produce a Christian rap album in 2002 called V.I.C. Street Parables. At that time he was also volunteering his experience as an intern at L.A. Reids publishing company (Hit co).
In February 2004, M.A.J. became memorable with a program called Fruity Loops. He developed deeper techniques for the art of producing. With his adept ability to learn things quickly, he began to make even better sounding beats, and started to attract more of a crowd to the beats.
Currently in 2005, M.A.J. is working on a many projects. One of these projects is with a well known artist by the name of T-Rock (Rock Solid Records). Together, these two inspiring minds, plan on jumping album sales from an average of 25,000 copies to 100,000+ copies a release. He is also in the works with a few other artists/groups that go by the name of: T-Rock, "Kenfolk, Deep South Records, members of D.T.P. and his own groups/artist Goodfellaz, M.O.B., and Infrared M. A. J. is continuing to perfect his beats and lyrics. He is also in the midst of making and selling his own soundfonts and sound packages which are beginning to kick under way.
