At a young age, he developed and honed his musical abilities by listening to records and playing Bass Guitar . He later learned the basics of production under the tutelage of DJ Vance Wright ( Slick Rick 's DJ) in 1994. In 1999, he released his college senior project, ''Music for Tu Madre'', garnering critical acclaim in the hip hop underground, but it was not enough to propel him into the mainstream spotlight. He has since worked with and produced beats for artists such as Biz Markie , Devin The Dude , Masta Ace , King T , Celph Titled , Cage , Diversion Tactics, DM & Jemini, High and Mighty, Sadat X , Del Tha Funkee Homosapien , Casual , Redman , R.A. The Rugged Man , Tame 1, MF Grimm , and Tha Liks . J-Zone's music could be described as somewhat unconventional. He typically uses lots of offbeat Samples and attention to detail. While generally praised for his comedic storytelling, clever punch lines, acerbic wit, and stellar production work, some critics have claimed that his music is crude, juvenile, and misogynistic. He has recently shifted his focus away from rapping to concentrate full time on production, DJing and behind the scenes work. DISCOGRAPHY
