About Me

A talented lyrcist phrasing himself as being one of the top "BX Startin' 5" lyrical threats (of course with krs one & Big Pun leading his all star ballot).J'von also Known to some As Jay O'Prime is bringing what most artist and street corner rappers lack "I strive on bringing that raw uncut realism and detail within my rhymes and performances,it's like giving your ears audio vision...you can literally close your eyes and I can paint you an HIgh Definition picture with my words" also packed within his versatile aresenal is precise storytelling,slick "what the F%#k" humor and just good hip hop knowing.

J'von's voyage of self betterment pretty much started back in his home growing up in the Bronxdale project housings where he and his twin brother not only sparred against each other,but with local contenders and with each loss came greater victories for young bishop and when word got around about the twin's abilities "we really got alot of attention,especially in high school ,I mean honestly I was just starting to rhyme and i kept a low profile but everytime I would pass the halls everybody would ask me to spit something so it became my popluar ticket" but back home j'von had a bigger obstacle to overcome which was religion."my father was a pastor and my mother was an evanglist so there were certain music and writings I would hide from them,in fear of my well written verses and well spent CD collections being destroyed " but after battling his parents back and forth they finally let their future star live his life....and his dreams

Talks with a few a&r's and label rep's surfaced but nothing fully concrete.Unitl one day I got a called from Indie Major Label Ness B. Music Group who got a hand on my MixTape, The CEO was impressed on what he had herd. Had a Meeting with him and seal the deal now it's a matter of soon I'll heading to the Studio to work with (N-S) top producer who is founder of the Label.

Aside from performing at NYC's pyramid and countless other open mic and showcase venues J'von shining moment came in the form of his first mixtape titled "Kings Of The Bronx" hosted by Young Focus and it was voted Mixtape of the Week on MTV.com and it produced a Rapid Fire hit Entitled "Bounce Around" which was later spun on Hot 97 for a week before being pulled and proper paperwork needed to be conducted...far from the fame of that particular mixtape J'von has been in the trenches ghostwriting and co-producing at the same time getting together his Independant Enterprise "SME" (Strategic Mindz Entertainment) along with A full introduction EP and a full length project.

"Driven by respect & passion for the hip hop culture,I desire to be different and stay within my realm of being what you see me as.A MAN AND NoT a GiMMICK"
