Bio
JMack descended upon the streets of Dallas in late 2008 with his appearances on the compilation “Paeme Or Hate Me Vol.1″ and was immediately recognized for his dexterity, delivery, and superior lyricism. JMack made a name for himself by competing in emcee showcases and performing live with Paeme, he has shared the stage with major artists such as Yelawolf, Wiz Khalifa, Chip Tha Ripper, and Killer Mike; Texas legends such as Bun B, Trae Tha Truth, and Big Tuck; as well as local staples such as Ad.D+, Damaged Good$, and Big Hud. He brought a tremendous stage presence with a headliner state of mind, which brought continued success and increasing fan base. JMack quickly dove into branding Paeme as more than a movement but a standard and image molded into the minds of everyone who would come into contact. He then capitalized on their buzz by releasing “First Initial Last Name” his first solo project on all original material. The response was unanimous that JMack offers one of the few opportunities for Dallas to have an artist bring as much talent as any heavyweight emcee but also commercially thrive without dependence on the latest trends.
JMack is also a budding producer who cites his diverse upbringing as the reason behind some of his concepts and sounds in his own work and that which he creates for others, he has also shared stages with dub step artists such as Run DMT, Mimosa, and Sam Krause.
As JMack has grown he saw the opportunity to use music for other causes allowing him and Paeme to take massive steps in evolving their own sound and contribute to the music scene as well as the community. Over the summer of 2011, he volunteered in a local testing center for the HipHop4HIV Concert, put on by local radio station 97.9 The BEAT. Despite not being a performer at the concert he gladly gave his time to educate at risk teenagers about the epidemic and also increase the unity in the at times shaky local Dallas music scene. JMack is all about progress. “I love hearing a new artist and feeling like I am exactly where they are or where they are from the moment I start playing their music.” He intends to do the same thing for the world, as they grow more curious about Paeme.
