His father was a 20-year army veteran and auto-mechanic who was working hard most of the time making sure the family had everything they needed. Even though he was sort of a hustler by trait he never seemed to miss one basketball game or school function. His mother took care of the kids and household making sure they were raised by their parents instead of the many emerging and available media outlets.
Je’kob attended several high schools with his brother playing basketball until finally settling and graduating from Grace Christian High in 1999. During the last year of high school, Je’kob’s part-time family music group “Souljahz” got a chance to go overseas to Aachen Germany and record their first full length album with a young producer who they met through a family friend. As soon as they returned to the states their father took the finished album to the ASCAP offices. After a couple meetings they found themselves sitting in the offices of Jimmy Iovine, the CEO of Interscope Records. The group received offers from several powerhouse labels including Interscope, Warner Bros. & Atlantic Records. In 2000, after lengthy negotiations, they ended up inking a deal with Warner Bros.
The troupe performed alongside the lauded and diverse likes of No Doubt, Nelly, Counting Crows, Ja Rule, Ashanti, Garbage, Boyz II Men and Erykah Badu on a cross country tour in support of their major label debut “The Fault Is History.” Television features followed on CNN Headline News, E!, Billboard, The WB, plus a slot on [email protected] beside Christina Aguilera, 50 Cent, Shania Twain, Faith Hill and Red Hot Chili Peppers. But even with the tremendous amount of buzz and overwhelming fanfare, red tape soon wrapped itself around the burgeoning band, putting a long delay on what would’ve been its sophomore CD.
In 2006, the group re-emerged independently as The Washington Projects. They have since released two albums, “Commanders Of The Resistance” in 2007, and “Light Up The Dark” in 2010, of which both garnered critical acclaim and rave reviews. Between 2006 and 2010 they toured nationally and internationally traveling twice to war zones in Iraq to entertain the troops, as well as headlining a tour to Italy alongside The Nappy Roots. Recently, Je’kob signed with Seattle-based Save the City Records to release new material and make new appearances.
There have been as many glorious moments as there have been trials, but Je’kob sums up his experience best in one of his songs entitled “Dreams”:
“ What you fight for is what you die for, & what you try for is what you cry for, but if you really want it, you will try more. ”

Love Is All
Je'kob Lyrics
Love is…everlasting
Love is…only kind
Love is…always patient
Love will…blow your mind
If you let it
OH
If you let it
OH
If you let it
OH
If you let it
OH
Go on and give it to ‘em
I’m gonna and give it to ‘em
Gonna make sure that
Y’all know that we can change this place
Love is the answer
Open your heart
Do something for someone
And that’s a good start
Love
Love is all we need
We find that we find everything
So to Republicans
And to the Democrats
I don’t care who you are
I don’t care where you’re at
As long as your breathin'
You are my brotha
Me casa, su casa
My momma, yo momma
We all two dashes
I call that equal
White or brown skinned
Ya’ll my people, yea
I pray for revolution
I know you wanna rise up
Get past the color line that still
Divides us
And hate wanna try us
And hate wanna fry us
But hate can eat my dust
Love is…everlasting
Love is…only kind
Love is…always patient
Love will…blow your mind
If you let it
OH
If you let it
OH
If you let it
OH
If you let it
OH
Love…
Where do I go from here?
I need something that will wash
AWAY my tears
I wanna find love, love, love
I’m lookin’ for love, love, love
I need to find love, love, love
Where do they hide love?
Yea
We gotta just love
Gotta just care
Even when some things in life
Don’t seem fair
Never give up
Never you quit
Never say never
And never won’t get
The best of you in them hard times
You rock and roll
And love let it save your soul
The best of you in them hard times
You rock and roll
And love let it save your soul
Love is…everlasting
Love is…only kind
Love is…always patient
Love will…blow your mind
If you let it
OH
If you let it
OH
If you let it
OH
If you let it
OH
So how do we escape
From inside this prison?
Build your relation
Kill your religion
There’s thirty-eight thousand
Versions of Christian
Twistin’ the word to fit
How they are livin’
Heaven, help us
Live like we’re saved
In one hand the truth
In the other the grave
One hand is free
And the others a slave
Love is the key to lock hate in the cage!
Love is…everlasting
Love is…only kind
Love is…always patient
Love will…blow your mind
If you let it
OH
If you let it
OH
If you let it
OH
If you let it
OH
Love is…everlasting
(Oh oh oh oh)
Only kind
(Only kiiiind)
Always patient
Love will…blow your mind
If you let it
OH
If you let it
OH
If you let it
OH
If you let it
OH

Amazing artist. Praise God for gifting this man with such talent and using him to share Your gospel. Too bad so few in the world will learn who he is because he isn't compromising his love for the Lord by singing about the world.
