Have you ever heard of an Average, but Original hip hop artist? J-Coop Da Great is the definition of so. Sounds cliche, right? Fortuantely for Hip Hop, that’s not the case with the 22 year old ATLien. In a genre dominated by street talk, sex and nonsense, J-Coop comes right on time to deliver honest insight, thoughts & feelings through the eyes of a regular guy. Not having two parents present in his life, he found that he enjoyed singing & writing R&B at the age of 9. Due to puberty a voice changed quickly occurred which resulted in a dream deffered.
J-Coop dabbled into the guitar but soon found a different love, hip hop. Rapping as a hobby with local school mates but it soon became a goal, want and dream. Thus beginning his musical journey at 16. After graduating from Mundys Mill High School in June of 2006, he figured he’d try college to have a back up plan but dropped out a year later to pursue music full time.
Working with premier producers The Outsyders, Isso Productions, The Tay, Dun Deal, Anom The Phenom & The FOES. Has also released critically acclaimed mixtapes “Public Service Announcement” and “You’re Welcome” and is currently working in his biggest project to date “2000 & COOP”. Since then he has performed at ATL hot spots: Throwbacks, Club Crucial, Club Miami, Club Chit Chat, Apache Café etc. Representing the “Winning Team,” J-Coop still finds time to be himself, along with indulging in video games. J-Coop is on the rise to clean up hip hop’s name.

January's artist
Name: Da Hood Candymann
Age: 19
Hometown: Miami, Fl
Current Residence: Miami-Dade County
Music Type: Rap/Hip Hop
Myspace: www.myspace.com/dahoodcandymann
Featured Song: Da Hood Candymann - Ladies Know
Quote: "Yeaaa Nicca Yeaaa"
"The music industry is proud to present “Da Hood Candymann”. Born and raised in Miami, Florida on July 30th 1990 (Small Town They Call) Carol City. His nationality from both of his parent’s is “Puerto Rican”. Now to get on about his music career, He wasn’t always into music as he is today. But, he was definitely around it a lot in his middle / high school years.
To begin with, a lot of people wonder were did “Da Hood Candymann” artist name came from. Well, before he got exposed and into the game as he is today they used to call him “Young Trigga”. But, he finally grew out of that level & since he always sold candy in school. He switched his name to “Candy man” alone. So therefore his music career just started and to be specific the year was “2004”.
Secondly, he started to buy equipment from cheap corporation stores. For example, one was radio shack for his first microphone that he created “Candy Land Vol.1” with in his room using his closet as the booth. As far as, the program to mix & rough down the music & make it sound decent enough to pass out. He would go to http://www.download.com to download audacity (program to mix & record music). He started to work on volume 1 & finally started to pass it out 4 months later back in 2006.
Next, the reason why nobody never heard “CANDY LAND VOL.1” was because he had a very low fan base & wasn’t around the computer as much as he is today. So “Candy Mann” decided he is not going to give out his first mix tape to his fans, friends, or etc. He kept all the 500 copies to himself & only gave them to major D J’s, Producer’s, Artist, Label’s, & Etc. So several months have passed by & suddenly “Candy Mann” gets a call. The call was from U.B THE UNDERBOSS MEMBER OF THC CREW & HOST OF HTTP://WWW.305HIPHOP.COM, HTTP://WWW.RAPREPORT.COM, HTTP://WWW.GASFACEFILMS.COM, & Just to inform everybody The Boss Rick Ross had currently made him President of Maybach Music Latino (Congrats).
Next, When “Candy Mann” seen the call, he was so proud / happy. THE UNDERBOSS WAS INTERESTED IN GETTING HIM IN THE STUDIO TO DO SESSION’S, & GET HIM ON A LEVEL where people would recognize his name “Candy Mann”. But, before that could happen he had to change his name so therefore that’s where “Da Hood” came from & also because he thought to himself the hood will always be in his heart & it'll be very helpful when it come's down to anything (GOD FOR BIT). The reason why he had to change his name is because Sammy David Jr. who was born in Harlem, New York an African American Entertainer was known as “Candy man”. That’s why he changed his name to “Da Hood Candymann” with two ns, not just one. Once he made that change, before putting it out he made sure all rights were legal & explained properly to him.
Finally, that is why he call’s himself “Da Hood Candymann” not just Candy Man. So as far as his life story was written for those who were interested in knowing about “Da Hood Candymann” you just finish the entire bio. Fill free to contact him @DAHOODCANDYMANN, http://dahoodcandymann.ning.com, you can also e-mail igrindmag@gmail.com, and make sure to title the subject as “Advertisement” or “Collaboration”. Just to inform artist who would like to business with “Da Hood Candymann” networking with him is like he is recommending your music to stars that can change your music career. So therefore, it would be a small fee to work with him but don’t worry, because he always show love & big shout out to his supports, fans, friends, haters, family, & most of all the great man above (with god anything is possible) god bless."
