Though some may say that "real" Hip Hop is dead, J. WRIGHT is here to simply put those naysayers on alert and prove that Hip Hop is alive and breathing. The Midwest has produced a few recognizable names in the Hip Hop community, such as Kanye West, Common, Nelly and Twista, just to name a few. Soon, Iowa will be identified beyond just a place where corn is reproduced, but also the home of the talented J. WRIGHT.
"I am ready to share my story with the world as I continue to find myself and grow into a man," says J.WRIGHT. "Though, my journey has been filled with ups and downs, I am still here," he adds. Musically inspired by the likes of Jay-Z, LL Cool J, Slick Rick and Kanye West among others, J. WRIGHT continues to spread the message that you must live your life as if you will not live to see tomorrow and that you must take all chances while leaving no regrets.
As J. WRIGHT adds finishing touches to his highly anticipated EP, "MISTER WRIGHT", available this spring, he prepares to hit the road on promotional tour to promote the single "Mister Wright featuring J Rome". The EP, "MISTER WRIGHT", will include production from Young Yonny, (Trey Songz - Say Ahh), along with a collective effort of young up and coming producers from the Midwest. "I am very excited about the direction the project is taking, as people will hear and see me for me," he affirms.
When J. WRIGHT is not busy recording, producing, songwriting and further establishing his new jewelry line, he gives back to the community by dedicating his time to The Boys & Girls Club of America and the 100 Black Men of America organization. "I aspire to be a Hip Hop mogul not just known for my skills but also known for my business sense and my compassion for my community. I have a dream that I will grace the covers of Time Magazine and Black Enterprise Magazine among many others and become an owner of a NBA basketball team. So, look out Chicago Bulls, I am coming for you", laughs J. WRIGHT.

J.Wright Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I put my foot up on the gas and Skirt off in the rover
I done lost so many brothers
I got paranoia
Got to keep my head up it ain’t Over til it’s over
They say They say
That I won’t prosper
Big diamonds
Too many bad hoes
Up on my roster
Don’t get to close
I’m on my shota
Young nigga
Solution to all your problems
White Henny n Rosè
Solve all my problems
She said I got good taste
I’m hot like lava
Young nigga flood my wrist
I’m a don dada
Everything I taught myself
I'm my own father
Shorty tryna call my cell
Don’t even bother
Jack niggas we raise hell
So pray to God yeah
Jack niggas
So pray to God yeah
Yeah I hang with all the Trapin' Niggas
Might just clap a Nigga
Flip his body like an action figure If it’s static with us
Little bitch wanna get up with Me
But she got a nigga
I said baby girl that’s not a Problem
I’m a take you from em
Shorty said she want to drive the Boat
But she don’t drive tho
My little Shorty said she tired of Me

Lil Nigga said he looking for me Go by John Doe
FENDII why are you always playing with me I said I know
I see the snakes up in the grass They tryna to get a close up
I put my foot up on the gas and Skirt off in the rover
I done lost so many brothers

Got to keep my head up it ain’t Over til it’s over
They say They say
That I won’t prosper
Big diamonds
Rolls-Royce I’m living proper
Too many bad hoes
up on my roster
Don’t get to close
