Akon is from Newark, and he's one of the biggest rap artists around. He doesn't hide the fact that he's from Jersey at all. And FWIW, as much as Jay-Z tries to be "I'm so Brooklyn" in all his songs, he spent a lot of his time growing up in New Jersey and actually went to Trenton Central HS before he was kicked out and started hustling.
Joe Budden is from JC as well. Awesome rapper but achieved only "one hit wonder" success with "Pump It Up."
he is still around and has an underground following so he is still successful just not to the extent as his breakthrough. Mood Muzik 4 was just released and i have to admit it does vibe good
Haha, ya'll forgot about one of New Jersey's only two platinum selling solo rappers. Shaq Diesel hails from Newark New Jersey and in addition to having a doctorate, a terrible movie career and being one of the most dominating centers to play basketball, he released four rap albums.
I was hoping someone would mention Artifacts. I have fond memories of ditching school and heading to the local version of Wrong Side Of The Tracks. Those were the days , alot of this ***** now is garbage.
