Biography [link]
At age 12, Jones was expelled from school for allegedly dealing illegal drugs.[1] He often slept at friends' homes and in cars; and after winning one rap battle, suffered a broken jaw.[3] J-Kwon first rose to stardom with his single "Tipsy" from his 2004 album Hood Hop, which peaked at #7 on the Billboard 200.[4] The first single from the album, "Tipsy", peaked at #2 in his native United States and at #4 in the United Kingdom. Other singles included "You & Me" with Sadiyyah and "Hood Hop".
For the 2005 film XXX: State of the Union, J-Kwon performed the single "Get XXX'd" with Petey Pablo and Ebony Eyez. J-Kwon began working on the follow-up to Hood Hop, Louisville Slugger, that year also.[5] He collaborated with comedian Andy Milonakis in "Like Dis", to promote The Andy Milonakis Show, and appeared on Bow Wow's single "Fresh Azimiz".In 2008, he released a single "Boo Boo" through his own label Hood Hop Music with album Hood Hop 2 following the next year exclusively for digital download.[6] Follow-up Hood Hop 2.5 was released on CD on July 28, 2009. Its first official single was "Louie Bounce (I Smacked Nikki)".[7]
A March 2010 report released by Jones' record label, Gracie Entertainment, revealed that he had been missing since early February 2010.[8] Later the same month, MTV News reported that he had been in touch with the record label, confirming that he was alive and well.[9] He was later quoted as saying he was "just taking some time out."[10] J-Kwon released his fourth studio album on March 23, 2010, entitled J-Kwon.[11]

Hood Hop
by: J-KwonAy world, this Streets 101
I'm finna give you a head for pound of J-Kwon
And a quarter burn of Track Boy Music
Hey hey hey hey hey
Now on my life, I'm livin dirty
And I'ma keep it until I'm gone dirty
So where you at dirty? where you at dirty?
Where they at dirty? Where they at dirty?
This the new improved hoop hop
I make ev'ry mu'fukka in this bitch, do the walk
Dirty run his mouth til the album drop
Why's that? Trak Boy beats like a free bricker Caine on the block
I'm 17 name ain't the same on the block
And peter knock the nigger out his frame on the block
And he'll come through and let it rain on the block
And all they gots to say is its a shame on the block
I'm hot homeboy, don't ever get it twisted
Numbers unlisted stayed in third district, for real
I'm ready to get naughty, best of both worlds so Hey Shawty
Show me the party, and I'll show you the coke
I can show you my dick you can show me your throat
If a nigga trip, then we can show him the '4
If a niggas run up to you we can show him some mo'
Now I wish a nigga would run up like that
Man i put that on the hood I'mma strike back
And niggas talk shit but i don't like that
Sayin all like Gee but I ain't write that
And maybe mamma's man ain't about shit
Basically what i'm sayin dude fuck a bitch
And if I had two i'd touch a bitch
In the same breath, turn around and touch a clit
And nigga if i said it, i fuckin meant it
And nigga if it's rented i ain't fuckin in it
Track boys give me money so i fuckin spend it
Ya'll rollin the spreewell but not the authentics
And fuck your fuckin '4 and your roof clown
I got shit that'll turn your fuckin coupe round
You ain't heard i'm the troop now
By the fact, hook gonna break it down
Dawg It's a missile, how we drop one single
Left the game now the whole world miss me
Freak this bitch like homegirl missy
Like I tell them niggaz got the whole world tipsy
Sick and tired of old g's tryin to gip me
Goin put a lumpin in this shit like a hicky
All i say is to them dudes come get me
Watch a patch of prone cause i' like a gypsy
Funny how I can't loc in public, smoke in public
Girl even choke in public,
Got dough so that's why i'm so republic
Cause hit the door, i start actin so republic
I had it sent back and like i had a briccamore
So you got snitched on by the cona-whore
Show us or show her ass what these guns are for
