J-ILL...Dipset South!~Tatiana R.
Yes, Tennessee artists are featured in Culture Shock Mag! occasionally, nevertheless, there are endless amounts of talent so it is only right for them “to gain more exposure,” says rapper Jordan “J-ILL”.
Straight out of Nashville, Tenn. comes an artist with a cut throat realness, sick punch lines and willingness to make it no matter what. When asked what made him want to rap, he immediately speaks of the “Bloods & Crips Bangin’ On Wax…that his mother bought back when he was a young buck.
J-Ill started taking his talent serious in high school. After endless freestyle battles he knew he had a weapon, his words. His influences range from Tupac to Ludacris. But you can’t forget to mention, Harlem’s own movement, The Diplomats.
So it would be safe to say that Nashville’s own is connected with The Diplomats. After meeting Jim Jones and the late Stack Bundles on the Street Dreams Tour the connection was inevitable. Artist and President of Diplomat Records, Freeky Zeeky was just beginning his off branch movement, Dipset South with his first artist Ransom Dollars from North Carolina.
Later, Diplomat Records, President, Freeky Zeeky met J-Ill at an after party and liked what he was doing so it was only right to have him affiliated with Dipset South. He and Ransom Dollars also became associated and the rest is history.
Although he is a rapper he is still heavily involved in school, attending Middle Tennessee State University amongst many artists, what makes one stand out? Check him out and see for yourself.
