I first was introduced to Jake The Snake (a.k.a. J the S) back in 2003 when I watched him take down MC after MC at the Super Bowl Battle in the Middle East in Cambridge, MA. At the time, I was living in Boston and just finished two years on the airwaves with my "Underground Chaos" Hip Hop radio show at WTBU (big up to my partner Matty Schools). I was always heavy into the Boston underground Hip Hop scene and J the S impressed us all that night and that year. He released his debut album "The Arrival" in 2004 and has subsequently continued to release albums and mixtapes every year.
Since striking fear in his freestyle battle opponents in Boston, J the S has moved on to even bigger and better things in this Hip Hop game. He's capitalized on opportunities to open shows for Kool G. Rap, AZ, the Wu-Tang Clan, Talib Kweli, Brother Ali, and Slaughterhouse (just to name a few). While performing on stages with some of Hip Hop's legends, J the S has made a nice name for himself in New York's Hip Hop scene. He's collaborated on songs with some big name MCs including: Kool G. Rap, B.o.B., Saigon, Skyzoo, Joell Ortiz, and Ras Kass.
I coincidentally rode the same subway car with J the S on a train heading back into Brooklyn last year and found out that he moved to New York in order to be more closely involved in the epicenter of Hip Hop. Since making his move from Boston, J the S has been gettin' it in with some more legends. He's currently promoting his new single "The Last Party" featuring Jadakiss and Danny McLain. In addition, his music video game is crisp. He recently released a new video for his track "Marvelous" featuring Speks. If "Marvelous" doesn't get your mouth watering, then you got some fuckin' problems. Peep this new video below:
