In the world it’s really hard to find people who are the same as their music. Most often nowadays everyone gives a persona but leaves you wondering if they’re all that in real life. One thing is for sure however, J.G. is not a part of this wide range of numbers. What artist do you know that Harlem shakes to lose stress? Better yet who comes at music “like I’m a artist with a canvas ready to create anything?” This Pontiac native now thriving in Houston is who he is in every track he drops. Apparently in interviews he stays the same as well. For those of us wanting artists to be real life all day every day he just might be a great start. Let’s dig deeper shall we. . .
Let’s begin with this odd way of J.G. writing his name. “My stage name originated from my mom ex-boyfriend. He use to always call me “JG” because it’s my initials. So I ran with it, & to make it more catchy I added the “.” so it’s really “J.G”.” Mystery solved. Now when it comes to his chase for hiphop however, it’s less complicated. This story spitter has been writing since he was in fifth grade but his passion didn’t quite spark until college. Struggling with finding something he enjoyed J.G. decided to create a project of which he recorded and released. According to him “nobody liked it” and in that moment he realized he loved what he was doing. Though a little backwards, he ran from there with no turn backs.
Despite pursuing music being J.G.’s current vision, he does hunger to accomplish other areas in his life. When you ask what it is he may jokingly tell you he’s wanted to do pornos since he was eight however that’s not the real case (thank the Lawd!) What he DOES want to do is film; anything that deals with a camera and tape but doesn’t include weddings is what we’re talking about. Nonetheless music is his focal point. And J.G. has the results he plans to see already mapped out. “My biggest goals in life, might have to be… Winning Grammies, traveling across the world doing the most shows [an] artist has ever done, making sure my loved ones are on their feet, being a good human being, and physically connecting with Stacey Dash.” Sounds pretty solid, well maybe except Ms. Dash.
Besides being naturally entertaining J.G. also knows how to make a phrase into something bigger than just words. If you haven’t heard Chiefy Tribe has been born.
“€hiefy Tribe originated in 2011, from one of my songs called “who am I.” I said in the song “…I’m so CHIEFY hoe, that’s really all you need to know”. The word “CHIEFY” is similar to the word “bossy = boss”. I’m also from Pontiac, Michigan and Pontiac is [an] Indian Chief. I figured saying “CHIEFY” could connect my city to my music and my music connects to my fans. So i started thinking, what’s a way I can make my listeners feel apart of something and my city grow…. months down the line I created “€hiefy Tribe”. If you don’t understand, just visit the site “WWW.CHIEFYTRIBE.COM“.”
In shorter terms: €hiefy Tribe – a individual that act as a leader & work hard as a worker, to put on for one’s tribe. You got it? Good. Outside of that he’s infamous for using the retro word “babes” when describing females. This explanation is much simpler in how it came. Mama told him stop cursing so much in his joints, babes was his compromise, end of story. We need more of that these days, it stretches creativity. And J.G.’s mom must have known what she was doing because now it’s left a mark of something he just does. He does aim to create “everyday, honest music.” That appears to work well if I do say so myself.
So while Houston is adjusting to an artist like him and Michigan keeps embracing him J.G. doesn’t have anything new coming out quite this second. He’s still pushing his summer project which has been deemed classic by all who’s been graced with it. (Hard copies are available.) Him and TDeeZy are in the works of a trilogy called “GODLYSUPREME” which won’t be out until next year. ” It’s going to be our best project to date,” says J.G. so of this we’ll see. And with him that seems possible. In addition he’ll be apart of the RTF College Tour. On the personal side ladies he is single but if he can’t deal with your farting then you stand NO chance so good luck. For the rest of the world check out J.G., you don’t want to sleep on someone who’s message is “do whatever the f**k, YOU CHOOSE TO DO!” This time, following the leader is okay, I promise.
