Jadakiss Detailed Biography -

Jadakiss (born Jason Phillips May 22, 1975 in Yonkers, New York) is a popular American rapper. Jason Phillips was brought up in Yonkers, New York, in a household where he was well-fed and taken care of. As a result, friends and acquaintances would make fun of his paunch, nicknaming him Big Mack after his favorite burger. A young Jason wasn't interested in rap until his friend David Styles, later to call himself Styles P, took him to hang out in a Yonkers project housing where they would freestyle and, allegedly, sell drugs for money. Jadakiss became a popular freestyler, engaging in competitions by the time he was twelve. He and some of his early friends were given the opportunity to compete in the Jack the Rapper competition in Florida, where Jadakiss was noticed for his battle rap ability. He met Dee and Wah, of the Ruff Ryders, which was then a management company, and began hanging out and battling outside of the Ruff Ryders' studio where artists like DMX made their first hits. Kiss formed the rap group the Warlox in 1994 with friends Sheek Louch and Styles P. The trio signed to Bad Boy Entertainment later on, where it was suggested they change their name simply to the LOX, which came to stand for Living Off X-pereience. They were first featured on Biggie's second album Life After Death, where Jadakiss garnered his first dose of national attention with his verse on the song "Last Day". The group, especially Jadakiss, developed a close relationship with Big, during which time Kiss was taken under B.I.G.'s wing. Thus, after Biggie's shooting death, the group released their first multi-platinum hit in the tribute "We'll Always Love Big Poppa" (the B-side to Puff Daddy's "I'll Be Missing You") in 1997. In 1998, the LOX released Money, Power, Respect. Following this album, they left Bad Boy Records.
