Jahagree: Jeff Menefee also known by his stage name "Jahagree" was born on the outskirts of D.C. He always had a love for music that started when he tought himself how to play drums at the age of seven, and continued to pursue playing through out the years. As well as playing he would also write notebooks of poetry. Then after a trip to the island of Jamaica where the culture and music changed his life, Jahagree decided to put his poetry to a beat. Starting out doing reggae music he later on switched it up, and began rapping while still keeping true to his love for reggae. He dropped his first mixtape "Notebook After Notebook" back in 2008, and since then has put out an album as well as dropping 6 other mixtapes. Jahagree was also featured on two of DJ Green Lantern's mixtapes "2010 Takeover" and "The Dirty Invasion", and most recently he did a colaboration with one of his favorite reggae artist, Perfect, called Rasta Liviation. Still pursuing his dream, Jahagree says " i will continue to dream big and keep on this grind" .
