After the passing of his Father in the summer of 2003, J. Robb was faced with the task of becoming man of the house. The determination and passion that he once possessed for music immediately grew from a pastime to an emotional outlet. After his senior year of high school J. Robb started work on his first mixtape which was released in 2004. Since 2004 J. Robb's archive of original tracks continued to build. After a 3 year hiatus, on April, 28th, 2007 J. Robb released a double CD, CD One contains 19 original songs & CD two; 22 photo's, 10 Mp3's, 7 Videos & A Poster appropriately named Long Awaited. He intends on continuing to promote this project while he prepares his album titled Watch & Learn. J. Robb does not feel that he has anything to loose going into the rap game head first, rolling with the punches and using hooks and punches of his own to survive.
"To be perfectly honest the way I see it is, there are a lot of Weak Links and in the end the Emcee's that are built for this will come out on top, those that do not take it seriously will simply fade away." - J. Robb
J. Robb has been called one of the hardest working artists to come out of the GTA. He has made the transition from a freestyle/battle Emcee to a seasoned recording artist. But if words on a paper don't impress you, just listen to the music.

Didn't know what I was thinking
Use to think that I could rule the world

Fast cars always shopping at the malls

In J. Robb's song "Rap Won't Change," the singer reflects on their past mistakes and recklessness in life. They used to be materialistic and superficially indulging in fast cars and constant shopping. However, the singer changes when they meet someone special, who helps them see their faults and reminds them of what is essential. The singer realizes that they don't want to continue down the same path and lose this significant other. They reiterate their love for this person and how they won't change for anyone or anything.
The main theme of the song can be simplified as a love song, but there are sub-themes, such as how money can change people or the importance of having someone there during difficult times to support you. Throughout the song, the singer acknowledges their past mistakes and acknowledges how they hurt their significant other. However, they reassure them that they won't change and will do anything for them. The rapper Gemini drops a verse, further emphasizing the song's theme, where he talks about how important his significant other is and that without them, everything is meaningless.
Overall, the song is a plea for forgiveness and a declaration of love, emphasizing the importance of finding someone who will stay by your side through thick and thin.
