  • Surprisingly, two short years after graduating from Lincoln, he obtained a major recording contract from Aftermath Entertainment. (then a fledgling label without the talent of Eminem) The young introvert Jamal, who once created stories inside his bedroom to escape the harsh realities of city life, amazingly became a protégé of Dr. Dre. (Yes, the legendary producer of Snoop Dogg, Tupac, as well as the co-founder of Death Row Records).

"You have to compromise….you know projects get shelved?" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.26.36.140 (talk) 05:18, 24 December 2006 (UTC).
