Black&Jewelz,&the&recipient&of&the&2014&International&Music&Entertainment&Association&(IMEA)&award&for&

hipBhop&rap&album&of&the&year&for&“Black&Market,”&began&composing&lyrics&at&about&11B12&years&of&age.&His&love&

for&hipBhop&became&one&of&the&central&aspects&of&his&life&as&a&teenager.&Rap&was&a&way&for&Black&Jewelz&to&

express&himself&when&he&couldn’t&otherwise.&He&had&no&role&models&growing&up&so&rappers&became&his&role&

models&and&mentors.&Favorites&in&the&rap&game&included&the&likes&of&Eminem,&2Pac,&Nas,&JayBz&and&DMX,&all&of&

whom&inspired&Black&Jewelz&to&write&rhymes&that&he&felt&good&about&in&relation&to&others&in&his&age&group.&

When&he&had&lunch&money,&he’d&skip&eating&lunch&to&save&up&the&couple&dollars&to&buy&the&next&rap&CD&he&

wanted.&Though&he&is&strongly&in&support&of&the&value&of&education&now,&he&would&skip&classes&to&go&the&music&

store&and&buy&a&new&CD&as&soon&as&it&was&released.

After&Black&Jewelz&read&2Pac’s&book&“The&Rose&That&Grew&From&the&Concrete,”&he&was&inspired&to&begin&writing&poetry.&This&became&another&outlet&of&expression&that&provided&an&ease&of&thought&

during&the&many&trials&and&tribulations&that&occurred&throughout&his&teenage&years.&For&a&period,&

Black&Jewelz&was&lost&in&the&streets&indulging&in&drugs,&weapons&and&violence,&which&constantly&caused&

him&to&get&into&trouble&and&suspended&in&high&school.&Just&prior&to&his&life’s&turning&point,&Black&Jewelz&

was&arrested&and&expelled&during&the&second&week&of&his&senior&year&in&high&school.&Somehow&he&

managed&to&get&back&into&school&and&graduate&with&the&assistance&of&a&tutor.&&

The&process&of&turning&his&life&around&

occurred&when&he&was&almost&18&years&old.&At&this&

point,&his&mission&began.&Black&Jewelz&began&

performing&at&open&mics,&on&street&blocks,&

even&at&the&Apollo&theater,&and&wherever&

he&could&get&an&opportunity&to&be&heard.&

Black&Jewelz&had&something&to&say,&

and&would&not&let&the&fact&that&he&

could&not&afford&recording&equipment&

or&studio&time&deter&him.&What&birthed&

out&of&his&lack&was&an&amazing&ability&to&write&and&

perform&a&cappella&raps,&which&earned&him&

tremendous&respect&and&catapulted&him&to&local&

fame&among&rappers,&artists,&poets&and&fans&of&art.&

He&would&eventually&build&a&makeshift&studio&in&

his&closet&with&the&bare&essentials.&His&passion&for&

rap&drove&him&to&display&the&excellence&of&his&

artistry&by&whatever&means&necessary.&As&a&

member&of&Jeremiah’s&Kall,&Black&Jewelz&began&to&

work&with&a&professional&engineer&in&a&

professional&studio.&Black&Jewelz&album,&“Black&Market,”&has&been&followed&up&by&his&lyrically&motivated&mixtape,&"iLLethal"&which&recently&

released&March&27,&2015.&
