#FindingJKwon Details J-Kwon’s Rise In The Record Industry

Remember him? J-Kwon was a 17-year-old rapper who made the monster hit “Tipsy” in 2004. The song changed his life, but his story goes deeper than doing the chicken head dance and shooting Pepsi commercials.

From sleeping in a car at 12, to mooning L.A. Reid, to paying child support with no DNA test, to random shoutouts from Kanye West, J-Kwon’s life has been a wild ride. Hit play to watch.
