First, ease your mind and relax your spirit. Then, contemplate the power of a poet, father, lyricist, entrepreneur, performer, and producer in the form of an emcee. You have now begun to understand all that is Jahalla. Next, listen to present day rap music and notice the absence of balance and food for the spirit. You have now begun to grasp the mission: usher in the second coming of “real hip-hop”, but with a touch of southern fried soul. The picture of a prophet is near completion. Imagine a man with the heart of a lion, and the mind of a teacher, possessing the joy and playfulness of a child. You now know hip-hop’s next prodigy, prophet, superstar and savior…Jahalla! Hailing from Opa Locka, Florida, Jahalla has found a home in the music Mecca of the south, Atlanta. He shares the life experiences of most young black men in America, and offers his lessons and experiences to others through his poetry and music. Though his rhymes are laced with political satire, information for the masses, and soul stirring words of wisdom, Jahalla understands that it is also important to make the people party, dance and have a good time. It is his true artistry that allows him to weave music, information and fun into one living, breathing creature called “southern hip-hop.” With several independent releases under his belt, and countless live performances, Jahalla saw major critical acclaim in 2003 through his involvement with Cee-lo Green of the “Goodie Mob.” Jahalla was featured on the cut “Microhard” from Cee-lo’s debut release, CEE-LO GREEN AND HIS PERFECT IMPERFECTIONS. Following this accomplishment, Jahalla found his way into the studio to complete his next project. This street mix tape hosted by DJ Yogi is entitled HIDDEN IN PLAIN VIEW and embodies years of hard work, heart felt lyrics, and an innovative blend of hip-hop and southern sensibility. HIDDEN IN PLAIN VIEW is the truest expression of Jahalla’s spirit; combining songs of upliftment, real underground hip-hop, and good old fashion party jams. Jahalla also had a song featured in the movie “You Got Served” In order to create HIDDEN IN PLAIN VIEW, Jahalla employed the help of some of hip-hop’s hottest producers, emcees and vocalists. Along with production from notables like Pharrell of the Neptunes, and Cee-lo Green of the Goodie Mob, Jahalla also enlisted the aid of producers Loc-Smif, Trackxx, T-Skillz and many more. The album also features the emcee talents of “The Nut Up Clique,” the poetry of Ray Alvarez, and the vocal styling of Kia Starr, and Tori Alamaze. Jahalla is currently working on his newest album entitled “SOLILIQUIES OF A SOLDIER” which embodies the heart of the streets, but still delivers the messages that his music has become known for. The picture of hip-hop’s next prodigy is now in focus. His mission is to usher in hip-hop’s renaissance. His goal is to provide a facet of the music and culture that has been missing far to long. His time is now, his place is the new south, and his movement is southern hip-hop.
