J Stalin is a rap artist from the Cypress housing projects in West Oakland, California, USA. He has released roughly 7 mixtapes and has 4 or so releases slated from 2007.
According to an interview featured on the Demolition Men release entitled "Early Morning Shift", J Stalin was born into poverty and earned money as a child by selling candy bars on the Bay Area Rapid Transit trains. Later, he began selling drugs in his local housing projects. Around age 13, he began recording and selling rap music.
In a recent interview in issue #2 of STASH magazine, he remarked about his home and lifestyle, "This is West Oakland, man. This is the bottom right here." He remarked that the crime rate was so high, that the city had remodeled the housing units to remove all of the back doors. This way, potential criminals couldn't escape from home raids by the police.
J Stalin has since recorded and performed with artists such as E-40, The Luniz, Keak Da Sneak, The Team, The Frontline, Mob Figaz, Yukmouth, Numskull, Shock G, and others.
A release entitled "On Behalf of the Streets" was released in early May 2007.
