Jessica James was born on Oct 5,1989 in Brooklyn, Ny to Vincere and Danny James. At 6 months of age her parents moved to Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. A place they saw best fit to raise a young baby. Jessica's mother knew since she was a baby that she would be a sing-er. Not just because both her mother and fa-ther sang and played instruments, but because of Jessica's high pitch cries as a baby, her ex-treme interest for music and the amazing ener-gy she had singing along with Whitney Houston's songs at a very young age. The first time Jessica, also known as "Jessie" sang on stage was when she was three years old; she sang "The Lord Is My Sheperd" at her church's children convention. This is when eve-ryone realized she had talent. Jessica started writing her own songs when she was 7yrs old and even started her own little group called: Steps To Christ. Eventually she joined the chil-drens chior and recieved most of the major solo singing parts. In Febuary of 1999 Jessie moved to Limon, Costa Rica with her parents and youger brother Tyler James. When she arrived in Costa Rica "Jessie" was enrolled for middle school imediatley, at first it was hard because English was her first language and she did not speak Spanish so she had to learn the language. After three months Jessica learned to speak, read, and write spanish fluently; thats when she started writing her own music in english and spanish. After a while Jessie joined the youth choir; shortly after she joined a ministry group that traveled around the country to sing and act. Jessica James was known all around Costa Rica for singing at wedding receptions, graduations, funerals, ba-

by showers, concerts and other events. In Oct of 2005 Jessica moved back to the U.S., to the state of South Carolina to finish High School. On June 1, 2007 Jessie graduated from Carolina High School and Health Academy; on this same day she sang to all her fellow graduates a very popular song by Yolanda Adams: "You Gotta Believe". No matter where she goes Jessica is always known for her beautiful voice. Jessica has always described music as being apart of her DNA and not just something she does. She has a great passion for helping people and making a difference in her community. Now, Jessica is an upcoming artist and songwriter ready to introduce her own style and flavor of music to the world. As of today she still strives to touch the hearts of many through her songs, her performances, and her life.

It is Limitless, Powerful, & Inspiring. My music is my life and I portray a positive image despite any negative energy around me. God has been good and I will always acknowledge that through my music. I've been rapping since the age of 7. When I was 12 I started recording myself on karaoke machines and jam boxes with built in mics to hear how I sounded over other people's music. My mother always played N.W.A, Snoop, Tupac, Ice Cube, and all the other real gangsta shit along with a little R&B like Mary J, Micheal Jackson, Isley Brothers, even some oldies. Over the years I developed a natural and unconditional love for the music itself. I began to use it as my personal journal, di-ary, and as public speeches more than just rap lyrics. It's my life, my thoughts, my feelings, my drive, my heart, and my ex-pression in which I share with the world. At the end of the day we're all human...each one teach one...and I love to teach as well as learn. I began selling my music on tapes with at least 15 full tracks on every last one of them for $1.00 from 6th grade until cd recorders became available to the public. I started droppin' albums on CD with ok quality, and good ass music al-most every two months in school, the malls, the movies, hoods, any and everywhere in my city Greenville, South Caroli-na. From there I built a name, respect, an image, a craft and most of all a purpose. Thanks to the Most High and His bless-ings...Now my destiny must proceed as planned.

Stemming from a past of broken trust & disloyalty usually destroys a person; not for D-Mun-E. D grew up in Green-ville, SC all of his life. Adopted by his grandparents be-cause of a mother and father (whom has never been a part of his life) too young to care for him, he grew up in a middle class lifestyle. At the age of 10 was when he bought his first hip-hop album. That is where the passion all began. Once entering the teenage years, he soon began to realize the depth that friendship really stores. Because of a new wardrobe & choice of music, "friends" from his childhood began to disappear. Frustated, he turned to his lyrics as a way of escape from the anger and aggression built up in-side. This is where the fire for the passion grew. It was no longer a hobby; it was life. At 21 years old, D-Mun-E has proven himself to be a man that will take on anything that life has to throw at him and keep on moving. "Failure is not an option. I will stop at nothing to show others who have been in a situation simi-lar to mine that you can be yourself, and to hell with what everybody else thinks. Live YOUR life, and be what you wanna be.

D-MUN-E

Vice President/ Producer/ Artist at Roll Ready Records I grew up an adopted little kid from the Bronx so music was all I had to get me through the hard times, but I never pictured I'd be doing music. I was al-ways dibbed and dabbed with writing lyrics but it wasn't until 1996 when I met Ricky Prince. We shot basketball together and as I got to know him I realized that he was rapping and it fascinated me because there wasn't MySpace or Facebook it was just the grind back then. He was making cassettes tapes then. I Still remember the first album "True To Myself". Yeah... Those were the good ol' days. One day Rick needed a karaoke machine and I just so happen to have one and it's been on ever since. It wasn't Roll Ready then it "U.Z." which originally stood for the "UntouchableZ" later in the years we changed it to "United Zodiacs" because each one of us are different zodiac sign but we all come together and give you a 90's sound. I've been an artists/ producer since I was 14 years old and I never started out making dope beats. I still got some of the very first beats I ever made and to this day i still listen to them... It's crazy but yet amazing someone can make without knowing they're making history. We've been through our ups and downs, went numer-ous situations due to unloyal people that eventually faded with the wind. I'm one of the original members of Roll Ready so that's how I got to be Vice President. That, loyalty, and being true to yourself can really take you a long way in music or life in general for that matter. For the most part I'll always have a passion for music. If it wasn't for music there's no telling where I would be. I think I speak for all artists when I say because every musician was inspired by some type of music whether it's gospel, folk, rock, rap, coun-try, etc. so the average musician would be lying to you if they told you that they never had an inspiration.

Rachett Princess came into the game with a blast this year tak-ing on the task of creating a mixtape that would catapult her career as well as touch the people that heard her project. She completed a collective of songs and called it "Sleep when I die pt 1" This release was originally released early 2011, but is being revamped completely and re-released un-der Jigalow Records. Look for more from Rachett Princess this year! As the world turns 2012 has ushered in a new year with new possibilities. Rachett Princess has proven herself to be the fu-ture in rap as she dropped her "Boss Lady" mixtape to critical acclaim. Magazines have em-braced her talent, radio sta-tions, online stations and shows. She has been slated as

a guest on many shows to promote her project, her commercials have been gaining a lot of views and her videos have gained over ten thousand views. Rachett Princess continues to be the strongest female artist pushing right now in regards to work ethic and material. 2012 belonged to her and I don't see any stopping her. Jigalow Records has a campaign for her and she has been running this year so far in South Carolina!
