His flow is like no other and his voice and style are all his own. There are many talented rappers but not all are stars, as he is the genuine article. From the streets of Los Angeles to the streets of the Bronx, he is a forced to be reckoned with. J Smooth (Jorh-el) was born in Los Angeles, CA and grew up in South Central LA. In his younger years he was in the church choir and also performance choir but singing wasn't where his heart was. He started getting into rap in his early years with influences like the Sugarhill Gang and continued later on with Snoop Dogg. During his senior year of high school, he was freestyling on blacktops during lunch breaks but he had yet to find his own style. The name J Smooth came from many influences. One influence was from the word that best discribes his flow, what else but "Smooth". In th Army J Smooth's buddies introduced him to other forms of rap by artists such as LL Cool J, Nore, Ludacris, Daddy Yankee, Twista, Tego Calderon, the Notorious BIG and Jay-Z. This not only helped him shape his rapping skills but also improve them. After completing his tour of duty, J returned back home to 'Cali': leaner, meaner and even stronger in his rap game. In May of 2006, J Smooth made an appearance on MTV's 'Yo Momma'. When it came time to battle J in a match of jokes, no one was able to take him down. To this day he is still recognized from his appearances on the show. Also in July of 2006, J became the host to the show 'Activado' on Gentevision. While recording his 1st Hip Hop album, J was introduced to a new genre of music called "Reggaeton". which he approached by mixing his English raps over Reggaeton tracks which became known as his "bilingual flow", something that was fresh and cutting edge to both genres. He recorded several reggaeton tracks that were too much for his hip hop album, so J decided to release both Hip Hop tracks and Reggaeton tracks on a double disc LP titled "Done Properly"
