St. Louis native, J-Kwon has exploded onto the scene with the street banger "TIPSY." With production by The Track Boyz, J-Kwon calls the song a "crazy party joint with an old school feel." We call it a smash. The record jumped to #30 on the Rap Chart and #37 on the Rhythm Chart with over 11 million in audience ... before impact. HOOD HOP is the name of the heavily-anticipated debut album. With its many twists and turns, HOOD HOP is a true depiction of the thoughts, fears, joys and experiences of a 17-year-old boy who has seen way too much of life for such a young age. It is also a reflection of what happens everyday in the real world; the way real people think and feel and act. It bridges gaps, opens minds, and moves feet. It covers a lot of terrain; musically and emotionally.
