Biography

J. Ivy is a Chicago rapper who has taken the Art of Poetry directly to today’s mainstream music & television arenas. His motivational motto, “Dreams Don’t Come True, They Are True” has guided him from his native home Chicago to becoming a Grammy Award Winning Artist.

J first discovered his affinity for the written art during a routine high school assignment. After hearing the talent in J’s writing, as well as in his voice, his English teacher demanded he share his gift on stage. Reluctant, but never afraid, J performed for his peers and to his surprise he received a standing ovation. Since that life changing moment, J has never stopped creating. He headed to Illinois State University, where he soon became known on campus as “The Poet,” which later led him to performing throughout Chicago.

He is more notable for his appearance on the Kanye West track “Never Let Me Down” in which Jay-Z is also featured.

    J. Ivy isn't really a musician so much as a spoken word poet - if you go to youtube and look up def poetry jam and j.ivy you'll find him.

    I need to get my hands on some J Ivy...All i've got is a kanye song and a live performance with John Legend. Post on my shoutbox if you've got some and maybe we can work out a swap.
