The Los Angeles native began rapping at age 4 and immediately knew her destiny was to perform. Reminiscent of the late Left Eye, whom she admires, Jamila contributes her love of hip-hope to her music and sense of style, giving her a street edge with feminine appeal. "I've always loved old school groups like the Fat Boys oddly enough," Jamila shares, "The guy at the video store eneded up just giving me a copy of Krush Groove because it's my favorite movie of all time and I'd rent it every weekend." As one in a family of six, the animated youngster met Chris Stokes when she was just nine years old after her sister had appeared in an Immature video. She caught the producers' eye and he made her a member of his now defunct girl group, Dame Four. Hailing from a music family, Jamila's natural ability shines through, from her sense of style to her self-written rhymes. "I went to school for fashion, but singing and dancing are in my heart, that what I love and can't see myself doing anything else." Is also the sister of Jhené Aiko.
Her debut album, Split Personality"was shelved. Like many female acts in TUG, her career went no where due to poor support from the label. She was co-writer on the project, Mila J collaborated with Cory Bold, a seventeen year old phenom who adds icing to the already sweet cake.
Mila J poses a quadruple threat as she can sing, rap, dance, and write. Her first single off her shelved debut album was entitled Complete produced by Cory Bold. Her current status is unknown.

I don't need no drama
Everybody know I ain't 'bout that drama

Man, first break in a minute
Can't remember not havin' to go to work
Chillin' by my mama crib
Food smellin' bomb
Man I even went to church
Full tank in the whip
Goin' for a lil drive can't hurt
Said I think I might just go for a ride
Then pop up and surprise some nggas that ain't heard from me
And I know they be missin' me
I was busy as ever
Feel good to be on
It feel good to be smokin' with all my nggas
Thinkin' 'bout the shit we used to be on
No lie man I really get the feeling that shit is comin' together
Good food, good weed
Saw the fam I ain't seen
And it couldn't get any better
I'm vibin', I'm chillin', I'm good
I'm kickin' back
And I'm vibin', I'm chillin', I'm good
I'm kickin' back and I'm good
I'm kickin' back and I'm good
I'm kickin' back
And I'm vibin', I'm chillin', I'm good
I'm kickin' back and I'm good
Man, you don't understand
When I land the first thing I be thinkin' about
Is goin' to Roscoes
You feel what I'm sayin'
Goin' to Simply Wholesome
Goin' to see my mama
Goin' to see my daddy
Goin' to the Fox Hill's mall
You know what I'm sayin'
Going to Slauson Super Mall
And you know just chill with my family
"Kickin' Back" is a laidback song by Mila J released on August 11, 2016, under her own record label, Mila J Music Inc. The song is all about relaxing and taking a break from life's hustle and bustle. She sings about being in airplane mode with no drama and how she plans to chill and take no calls. The title "Kickin' Back" is self-explanatory, with Mila J singing about taking time for herself, smoking, and riding around to enjoy the good things in life. The song's melody is influenced by the G-Funk era of West Coast hip-hop music.

She notes that everything she does, she does with excellence, and she's not worried because it's always good. Mila J drops the line "just me, myself, and this blunt." This line is a metaphor for how she doesn't rely on anyone else to feel good, and she can find joy and peace from within herself.
In the second verse, she sings about how she's taking a break from work and chilling by her mother's house, enjoying good food and church. Mila J talks about being on a drive with a full tank, and how it couldn't get any better. She sings about going to see her family and going to her favorite spots around Los Angeles.
