jah's bio:
Jah-Jah (born Jayson Tull) comes from the ‘hood Stack Bundles referred to it as “home,” alluding to Far Rockaway’s limited means of accessibility, and the choking sense of confinement you might experience upon finding yourself hemmed in by its leaning brick building, windswept beaches, and crooked police.

Far Rock rapper "far rock Jah" will tell you, in addition to it’s derelict history, his hometown is very likely the most slept-on when it comes to talent. But what else is true is that Jah-Jah is putting Far Rock on his shoulders, and laboring his way to the top, doing whatever is necessary to ensure the peninsula a notoriety for something other than it’s ominous proximity to nothing.

Same drunk look in his eyes, like What you gonna do?
What I’m gonna do?
Damn, it’s a standoff now/
the sun’s gone down/
still got the gun to his brow ". . .
