SO HERE I PRESENT TO YOU JSTACKS AND GUILTY! GET TO KNOW THESE TWO….
1.First and foremost the name, people say all is known in the name a artist picks for themselves so break down the creation of Jstackz & guilty?……jstackz : I got my name from hustling to get my money. I was known for? stacking my money so I incorporated the first letter of my name into the name j-stackz.. guilty: my name comes from me being guilty of writing great hooks, and great song concepts.

3. What separates you guys from other hungry up and coming unsigned artist? J-stackz and guilty..We both have a love for the music and approach it in a versatile way creating music for every genre. Whether they are young or old they will connect to the music.
4. Coming up as a youth and as a fan of hip hop who and what where some of your inspirations? Jstackz: hearing mc?s like ll cool j, big daddy kane, rakim, nas, biggie, big pun, jay-z, and 50 cent. They all had brought a style of perfection to the music and art form itself. Guilty for me I feel like run dmc set the tone for groups as far as rhyming on the same song together .
5. When in the studio, your apartment, street, where ever you lay down your rhymes what helps you focus? Do you have a ritual before you write? J-stackz: I don?t really have a ritual.

Also it would have all of the joys and pains that we go through day in and day out.?
