The story of J-Diggs is so deep that numerous media executives are trying to buy the rights to his life story. Growing up with both parents in his household, Jamal somehow eluded his promising future when his maturity took over his youth. Growing up in the mean streets of the Country Club Crest neighborhood in Vallejo California, he soon found out that his roots and culture ran much deeper than he could ever imagine.
Growing up listening to the likes of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5 and later Run DMC, LL Cool J, & Too Short he knew hip hop was where his heart was. After starting rap groups and winning talent shows while appearing on local TV stations around the San Francisco Bay Area J-Diggs was set to make his place in hip hop history.
At the youthful age of 19 Jamal along with 2 friends (Mac Dre & Kilo Curt) were arrested in Fresno, California for a conspiracy to rob a bank. Due to his involvement in the crime J-Diggs received a stiff penalty of 10 years while Mac Dre & Kilo Curt received 5 & 8 years respectively.
While incarcerated J-Diggs started his time off in a Federal Prison in Southern California called Terminal Island. He gained much respect and notoriety in the prison as a Warrior and even more so as a rapper. In 1995 Diggs was shipped out for his leadership role in a violent prison riot that left convicts and prison officials injured. During his "Diesel Therapy" (solitary confinement & surprise prison switches from authorities) Diggs kept everything in stride while bouncing back and forth around the United States to Federal facilities like Louisburg PA, Lompoc Ca, Raybrook NY, El Reno Oklahoma, Fairington New Jersey, Allenwood, Mckean & Schuylkill Pennsylvania.
After their incarceration the trio set out to do the unfinished business of creating one of the worlds most powerful and respected independent record labels; Thizz Entertainment. While returning home Diggs has appeared on numerous TV shows and DVDs such as BETs Oh Drama, Rickey Lake, and recently in 2009 on BETs highly rated TV series American Gangsters "Romper Room Gang". He has also appeared on DVDs such as Hood to Hood, Exhibition of Speed 23109, Too Real for TV #3, Treal TV 1 & 2, Ghostride the Whip, and a list of others.
Due to Mac Dre's untimely demise, Kilo Curt & J-Diggs was forced to step up their game plan. They created a logo of Mac Dre and put together a company named Thizz Nation.
Many people know J-Diggs and many people do not. One thing for sure is that he has the skills to take this rap game to a whole different level. So if you havent heard of him, you might want to in his own words; "Ask About Me"...
Consequences
J-Diggs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Faut je tue le temps, faut pas je pense à avant
Quitte à attendre de vivre des bons moments pour passer à autre chose
Sans dire un mot
Garder les épaules, tout ça sans dire un mot, ça peut aller loin
Et puis simplement attention à tes mots
Et puis simplement attention à tes mots
Et puis simplement
Sous mon soleil, des familles qui font qu'souffrir
Grandi dans les HLM où tout le monde rêverait d'une belle vie
C'est des tapettes, mon frère faut même pas les suivres
Tu deviendras un homme, si tu prend soin de toute ta famille
T'apprends quand tu cartonnes, elle veut sa nuit au Carlton
Beaucoup trop THC d'une seconde à l'autre moi je pète un plomb
Variété de shit dans un paquot, dans la bouteille y'a pas d'eau
Je passe aucun rapport dans la Golf 8, moi je pète un plomb
On est pas mauvais depuis qu'on s'est détaché
J'ai piétiner des têtes parce que en soi c'est eux qui fauter
Chez nous, ça s'entraine ça boxe, ça frappe ça fait des bim bim
Elle vend son corp au hommes pour nourrir l'ensemble de sa famille
Des sales histoires, ma vie restera une énigme
J'oublie dans un bar l'soir, j'dormirai chez des copines
Ton fils il est venu me voir, ta fille elle me sourit
Avant d'ouvrir ta bouche, c'est Dieu qui juge et qui punit
C'est réel des collègues à la rate
Je me limite à ne pas faire du mal
C'est réel des collègues à la rate
Longtemps que je retiens mes démons
La nuit avec les za' que on se défonce
J'veux l'sourire d'mes parents pas le million
La fierté des nôtre montrer ce que l'on vaut
Mais qu'est-ce que je vais faire, si je venais à mourir
Dis moi qu'est-ce que ta fait, si tu venais à mourir
Longtemps que je retiens mes démons
La nuit avec les za' que on se défonce
J'veux l'sourire d'mes parents pas le million
La fierté des nôtre montrer ce que l'on vaut
Mais qu'est-ce que je vais faire, si je venais à mourir
Dis moi qu'est-ce que ta fait, si tu venais à mourir
Dis moi qu'est-ce que ta fait, si tu venais à mourir
In the first verse of J-Diggs's song "Consequences," the lyrics express a sense of haunting ideas that must be dealt with by keeping busy and avoiding dwelling on the past.

Ultimately, the repeated questions about actions in the face of death serve as a poignant reflection on the choices we make in life and the impact they have on others. The lyrics blend introspection, social commentary, and emotional depth to paint a complex portrait of struggles, aspirations, and the weight of consequences in a challenging environment.
