Jadakiss is a respected, if not entirely well-known rapper. Born Jason Phillips in upstate New York, he was interested in rap from a very early age. When his parents told him to get a job and earn his own keep, Jadakiss was lured into the life of drug-dealing on the streets by friends, and his interest in rap music started there.
Jadakiss became a popuplar freestyler, engaging in competitions by the time he was twelve. He and some of his early friends, such as Sheek, were given the opportunity to compete in the Jack the Rapper competition in Florida, and Jadakiss did quite well, making friends with the Ruff Ryders. As a teen, he was given the opportunity to get into a recording studio, and has blossomed ever since.
Jada and his squad have been featured on many underground mix tapes, including the legendary DJ Clue. He joined the rap group the Lox in 1994, which became popular in the summer of 1997 with their multi-platinum tribute to the Notorious B.I.G. called "We'll Always Love Big Poppa" (the B-side to Puff Daddy's "I'll Be Missing You"). In 1999 Jadakiss joined with the Ruff Ryders as well.
Jada's debut solo album, Kiss the Game Goodbye, was released in August of 2001 under the Ruff Ryders/Interscope label. His new album, Kiss of Death, is expected to be released on June 15, 2004, and reveals a deeper side to Phillips' typical talk of drugs, guns, and snitches. He speaks honestly about such current events as Arnold Schwarzenegger becoming the governor of California, Aaliyah's death, and Denzel Washington finally winning an Oscar. He also tries to give insight into events in his personal life, such as family problems and being robbed of $100,000.
