J Stalin “Tears Of Joy” dropped Today! Listen Here!
J Stalin Tears Of Joy is here! The dope West Oakland Emcee and head of Livewire has dropped his highly anticipated LP. The rapper has been building a buzz for some time leading up to this project with his other label mates releasing some dope tracks and his “Bye Felicia” single and video drop.
Whitey Bulger has only heard a few tracks off the project so Suit Up and Catch Up! For sure check out “Selling Crack”. The intro song prior has a dope 90’s feel with the sample but a new bass line. The title of that track is “What’s My Name” and is self explanatory when it comes to the theme. J. Stalin doesn’t do this type of song like a typical Emcee though because he isn’t. He does it like a Boss. And the track comes off just that way. Dope way to kick off the LP. Get yourself a Blizz and call in sick. We Up! Shout Out to the Bay for making so much dope music. Whitey only been out there off and on a few years but they make music! “Stalin- Stalin…What’s My Name?? What’s My Name?”.

Bio for J Stalin:
Below is his Bio:
Jovan Smith (born 1987), better known by his stage name J. Stalin (also stylized as J Stalin or J-Stalin), is a rapper from the Cypress Village housing projects in West Oakland. In 2007, he signed to Zoo Entertainment Production Company run by artist Mekanix, who described his style as a variant of Hyphy known as “Go”. He is also the Owner of Livewire Records, President of Town Thizzness ENT, which is a sub-division of the late Mac Dre’s Thizz ENT.
Although young and boyish-looking, J-Stalin adopted a tough rapper persona. He references Joseph Stalin in his stage name because they shared the same initials, and “he was short like me, but he was always smashin’ on everybody.” In a recent interview he remarked about his home and lifestyle, “This is West Oakland, man. This is the bottoms right here.” He went on to say that the crime rate in his neighborhood was so high, the city had remodeled the housing units in his housing project to remove the back doors so that criminals could not escape from home raids by the police. His major influences Stalin claims came from a small town named Castroville. He claims he can relate to the poverty and hardships the town has to deal with and has major respect for the town. Stalin was also in the internet sensation video “Cupcakin” with J-Nash.
J. Stalin’s first widely released performances arose when a DJ Daryl, a local recording studio owner, placed him on a track he was recording. A colleague of Daryl’s, Richie Rich was impressed enough to put J. Stalin on three tracks in his 2002 album Nixon Pryor Roundtree album and two more as a member of Rich’s group, the Replacement Killers. He later recorded and performed with artists such as G-Stack, Beeda Weeda, Keak Da Sneak and San Quinn, E-40, The Luniz, The Team, The Frontline, Mob Figaz, Yukmouth, Numskull, Shock G, and others. As of 2006 he had released roughly 7 mixtapes and had four releases scheduled for 2007. Mekanix and Zoo Entertainment released “On Behalf of the Streets” in early May 2007. J. Stalin is the President of Town Thizzness, and the owner of Livewire Records. He is also the front man in his group, Livewire Da Gang The Livewire Gang consists of many artists from various neighborhoods in North, East, and West Oakland. Some of these artists include, Shady Nate, Jay Jonah, Philthy Rich, Stevie Joe, Lil Blood, Ruben Stunner, R.O.B., Ronald Mack, Kiwi, and Mayback. Retro and TD slaps from Sacramento .
