Jason Phillips (born May 27, 1975 in Yonkers, New York), better known by his stage name Jadakiss, is an American rapper currently signed to Roc-A-Fella Records. He is also a member of the rap group The LOX, which he formed in 1994 with friends Jamaal, Sheek Louch, and Styles P. He released his solo debut album Kiss Tha Game Goodbye in 2001, and followed this with 2004’s Kiss of Death and his most recent album, 2009’s The Last Kiss.

By the age of twelve, Jadakiss was a freestyle rapper, engaging in competitions. He and some of his 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 (then a management company), and began hanging out and battling outside of the Ruff Ryders’ studio where artists like DMX made their first hits.

Jadakiss founded the rap group the Warlox in 1994 with friends Jamaal, Sheek Louch, and Styles P. They later signed to Bad Boy Entertainment, where it was suggested that they change their name simply to “The LOX”, which came to stand for Living Off eXperience. They made their first appearance on The Main Source’s 1994 LP “Fuck What You Think” on the track “Set it Off”.

The group, especially Jadakiss, developed a close relationship with The Notorious B.I.G., during which time Jadakiss was taken under Biggie’s wing. The LOX’s first multi-platinum hit was the tribute to Biggie called “We’ll Always Love Big Poppa” (the B-side to Puff Daddy’s “I’ll Be Missing You”) in 1997.

his new albums quite gud, much better than wats out there atm (pointing fingers at soulja boy) but some of tha tracks should've been taken off before the final product was released, eg whos real, sounds like sumthin which should've been made for T.I lol

audio heroin mixtape from last summer was harder than this. agree @EdG810...cartel gathering is real dope. i'm feelin can't stop me, pain & torture but most of it really misses the mark production wise for a hip hop album. this is pretty mainstream imho. lyrically has it's moments, love the flow tho
