origin
Jay Rock is an American hip-hop recording artist from the West Coast with a lyrical stream similar to The Notorious BIG and Shyne. His music won him contracts with Warner Bros. Records and Strange Music. Johnny Reed McKinzie was born on March 31, 1985 in Watts, Los Angeles, California. He grew up in the Nixon Garden project; one of the dangerous neighborhoods in Los Angeles. He studied at Rock High School and often had troubles. Locke has also been imprisoned many times for violating anti-gang laws, so there has been a slight conflict with the law. His mother often organizes family gatherings. As a result, he was exposed to a wide range of music. Throughout his youth, Locke played the keyboard and began writing poetry at the age of 12. Cali’s dangerous streets made him feel he had a story to tell. He started to rap and was strongly encouraged by friends and family, who found his voice compelling. Growing up, Rock has listened to music such as NWA, Snoop Dog and Dr. Dre.
