Jamahl Harper (born February 7, 1984), better known as Jay Biggz, is an American rapper, songwriter and record producer. As an infant being raised by a single-mom, Jay moved from S.E. Washington DC, to outside Suitland, MD, before finally settling in Capitol Heights, MD. Despite being raised in a broken home, Jay considered himself extremely fortunate. “Man, a lot of my friends was missing one parent or both parents and had a grandma or something, but all I had was my mom and she would work like 2 or 3 jobs just to make sure I was straight,” he remembers. Growing up, Jay excelled academically, which he credits his mother who was very strict when it came to education.
At the age of 12, along with his mom, Jay found himself moving from the urban surroundings of Capitol Heights to more rural scenery in Clinton, MD, leaving behind friends and the only home he had known his whole life in search of a better living situation. Moving to Clinton gave Jay the positive environment necessary to excel and finish school; however Jay was mostly undecided about his future. His mother encouraged him to continue his education to earn a college degree. Jay made the decision to pursue a 2 year degree instead of attending a university, a decision that would play a heavy influence on his decision to begin rapping.
While attending college, Jay began to free write in between classes, which later evolved into poems and lyrics. Inspired by artists such as Nas, Wu-Tang Clan, and Outkast
