BIO

With his signature raspy voice, witty punchlines and hardcore lyricism, Jadakiss is one of the most heralded MCs alive. After forming The Warlox with life-long friends and fellow Yonkers natives Styles P and Sheek Louch, the trio would sign with Bad Boy Records as The LOX. Dropping their debut Money, Power, Respect in 1998, a solo record from Kiss was highly anticipated. His debut solo album, Kiss Tha Game Goodbye, was released in 2001. He has released three more solo studio albums, another album with the Lox, and a joint album with Fabolous. In a career that has spanned over 25 years Jadakiss has done his part to live up to his self-proclaimed moniker, “Top Five Dead or Alive.”
