Basically placed in the game and compared to what else is there, Jukstapose stands out and is very different. Also known as JTP, music has always been apart of his life and it runs in his family to have musical talent. Born in Passaic, NJ and moved around alot as a kid, no guidance and little family support led him to find the Hip-Hop culture and has been in love with it ever since. The 90's were when he came up and analyzed this form of music. From 1993 to 1997 Juks listened to many classic albums such as Wu Tang Clan's "36 Chambers", Black Moon's "Enta da stage", and Nas' "Illmatic" to just name a few. These type of albums and this era of Hip-Hop led to a young Jukstapose rapping at the age of 13. The year then was 1998 and many people would laugh and ask, "What are you doing this for"?, "Don't you know you are white"? Well through all the criticism and hatred the kid kept rapping, yet did not realize his own talent and believe in himself until getting locked up and doing a bid at the age of 16. In a youth correctional institution, the young emcee would battle daily until no one there would want to battle anymore. Time took it's toll and its been almost a decade doing this music thing and it's finally starting to pay off. Juks has performed at practically every club or venue in the tri-state area that has hip hop shows. He has shared the stage opening up for a handful of famous artists in the the music world. Jukstapose has been on basically every college radio station in New Jersey and New York. To date, Jukstapose has released 4 of his own mixtapes and is currently working on a few solo ventures with many of the top producers in the game. In 2005 he teamed up with "Entourage Entertainment" to form the biggest alliance in underground hip hop. 2006 birthed the begining of Walk the Walk Recordings. Look for many things to happen and updates daily. The skys the limit for Jukstapose. He is the future of Hip Hop and can easily bring the essence and real vibe back to the game. | | |
