"JT Money," (Born in Miami, Florida) was the leader of the Miami, Florida Hip-Hop group, Poison Clan. Discoverd by Luther Campbell in a Miami talent show. Eventually, Luke signed JT Money & Debonaire as the group Poison Clan to his Skyywalker Records. The group eventually disbanded after a dispute with Luke. JT Money is from Miami's Norland section. He assisted Luke in his feud with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg when they dissed him by rapping the main verses on the diss "Cowards In Compton." JT is considered by many as the first rapper from Miami to really put it down and tell real street tales. Songs like "Action", "Fire Up This Funk", "The Girl That I Hate", Don't Sleep On A Hizzo", Shake What Ya Mama Gave Ya", are just a few that have earned him that title. JT is the self proclaimed "B-izer", or just call him "J-Baby". JT has been quoted as saying "today's music and hip hop culture is watered down" and says that he will never change his game spitting style and major labels won't sponsor his music. JT even goes as far as to say that most music in Miami nowadays sounds like New York on South Beach.
