He found his passion for both singing and dancing at the age of 9 with influences from The Jackson's: An American Dream and The Temptations movies; imitating no less than the greatest. Jacquees participated in his first talent show in fifth grade at Canby Lane Elementary School performing the Jackson 5's, "I Want You Back," winning 1st place. He successfully matriculated to Mary McCleod Bethune Middle School where he continued to compete in talent shows winning every year; two at Bethune Middle and one at the Dekalb County Middle School Talent Show.

In 2007, Jacquees was introduced to his manager, Orlando Grind, by Dexx Lee. After years of performing in local talent shows, Orlando soon introduced him to Russell "Block" Spencer, founder and CEO of Block Entertainment. When Jacquees started going to the studio he merely blended with the team and wasn't given the opportunity to express his true talents. "When you see work being done around you but not for you, you tend to get discouraged," says Jacquees. At that time, Block's focus was only rap, not R&B. It wasn't until summer of 2009 when Block witnessed how talented Jacquees was and shifted his vision. Jacquees began to work closely with Block Entertainment recording and gaining more exposure with the release of his first single "Krazy" featuring Grand Hustle's own, T.I.

Jacquees has recorded with label mates, Gorilla Zoe and Scotty, T.I.P, and an upcoming Atlanta rapper, J-Real. Jacquees dreams to work with established artist Lil Wayne, Drake, Justin Bieber, Bow Wow, Lil' Chuckee, Chris Brown, and many more. "All of these artists started out at the age I am and are successful in the industry. I look up to them and dream that I will be just as successful as they are," Jacquees explains. "Only better!"

"It's truly a blessing to have the opportunity to work with the artist and producers I have already worked with," says Jacquees. "I pray to God every night that I continue on this journey and achieve what I've always dreamed of doing. With God on my side, I know this is only the beginning and there is more to come." With that in mind, Jacquees will achieve any and everything he wants out of the music industry.

Ooh, mm, mm-hmm

(OG Parker)

Make up your mind, I ain't the type to blow up your line
Look at me, it's a star in your eyes
All this water she gon' drown on sight
Sometimes I try, to put you on this pimpin' baby

'Cause you my best decision, baby

So let's, romance, yo' stance, oh man
Take off, yo' pants, cancel yo' plans
I understand, you want a man
To be ya friend, you need this chance

Feel like you need some validation (yeah, yeah)
I got a plan, 'cause you're more than that
No better situation (no, no)
Girl you all for that, and I'm matchin' that
Feel like you need some validation
While I'm grippin' your waist, we move to your pace
No better situation (come on)
Girl, I'll be your escape, come and swing my way

You think niggas full of lies, and you think I'ma prove you right

Girl you all for that, and I'm matchin' that
Feel like you need some validation
While I'm grippin' your waist, we move to your pace

No better situation (yeah)
Girl, I'll be your escape, come and swing my way

Overall Meaning

In Jacquees's song "No Validation," he addresses a woman who seems to be insecure and feels the need for validation from men. The singer emphasizes that he is not like the other guys who blow up her phone and urges her to make up her mind about him. He tells her that he sees a star in her eyes and wants to be her best decision. Jacquees then proceeds to seduce her with lines like "Let's romance, yo' stance" and assures her that he understands her need for friendship and validation. He wants to be the man to give her both and enhance her self-worth.

The chorus is a repetition of the idea that the woman needs validation, but Jacquees has a plan to show her that she is worth more than that. He emphasizes that he wants to be her escape and match her energy, which is an indication that he is attempting to help the woman feel more confident in herself. Jacquees also acknowledges that this woman is unique and that he hasn't even experienced her sexually. He seems to be taking things slowly and building up the woman's confidence and trust in him.

Overall, "No Validation" is a smooth R&B cut that seeks to empower and uplift a woman caught up in the cycle of seeking validation from men. Jacquees aims to differentiate himself from other guys by valuing her as a person, not just a sexual object. The song encourages women to love themselves, embrace their worth, and choose partners who appreciate them for who they are.
