From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jae-P is Chicano rapper. Born Juan Pablo Huerta in Los Angeles on May 24, 1984, Jae-P is the son of Mexican immigrants. Both of his parents were originally from the southern part of Mexico. Growing up in South-Central L.A., Jae-P heard his parents playing Mexican norteño, banda, ranchera, tejano and mariachi and other Mexican music at home but heard hip-hop and R&B in the streets. Jae-P was 18 when, in 2002, he signed with Univision Records, which released his debut album, "Ni De Aquí, Ni De Allá" (Neither From Here Nor There) in 2003. It blended hip hop with Mexican music. Univision Records also released Jae-P's next 2 albums, "Esperanza" (Hope) in 2004 & "Pa Mi Raza" (For My Race) in 2006.
