It's All in the Game

Fillmore rapper J.T. the Bigga Figga and his Get Low Records

Although J.T. wrote lyrics in jail to while away the hours, he didn't consider music a means to an end until 1990. "When I got out, I was seeing rap videos, people having their money from it, and, man, that really had me determined," he says. Hooking up with rappers like D-Moe, San Quinn, and Seff the Gaffler, he decided to get his business on. "I saw this opportunity," he says, "and a big old door. I didn't want to go back to jail, so I was like, this is what I'm doing."

In the three years of its existence, Get Low has released about 10 projects, although the majority of them dropped within the last year. Besides his soon-to-be-released new album, Dwellin' in the Labb, J.T. is juggling new projects by GLP (Get Low Playaz) and San Quinn, not to mention his new major label deal.

"When I was first getting out of the game, I just wanted something to keep me busy," J.T. laughs of his hectic workload. "Sometimes it's a little frustrating, but it's definitely worth it.
