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.
