Jadakiss was born Jason Phillips on May 27, 1975, in Yonkers, New York, United States. He is an American citizen and a professional rapper, widely known for his contributions to the hip hop genre. He began his music career at the age of 16, despite having minimal formal education in the field. His longstanding presence in the industry dates back to 1993. He is occasionally referred to by the nickname "Jack the Rapper," though it is more commonly associated with a famous music conference from the 1990s rather than his personal alias.
Jadakiss entered the music scene by participating in freestyle rap competitions with a group of friends. Their talent led them to the attention of Ruff Ryders Entertainment, a management company known for cultivating hip hop talent. Early on, Jadakiss and his group performed under the name The Warlocks.
After signing with Bad Boy Entertainment, they rebranded themselves as The LOX—an acronym for "Living Off Experience." This change marked a significant turning point in their career. The LOX gained public recognition for their gritty lyricism and energetic group chemistry, helping to establish Jadakiss as a prominent figure in East Coast hip hop.
