JSapp MadStak was born Jeffrey K. Sapp ll on August 24, 1981 in San Diego, CA. Due to his parents occupation as naval officers, J never had the opportunity to fully settle down in any one area or community. His education spanned over some 15 different schools while constantly trying to adapt to new environments. Sapp’s love for hip-hop started to truly grow at the age of 15 when he moved to Centreville, VA and attended Centreville High School in 1996. Like many other kids his age who were also into hip-hop, Sapp spent a lot of his time between classes freestyle rapping, using garbage lids or lockers to create beats. It was at this time that he began to realize that he had a passion and talent for combining words through rhythm and rhyme. It was 4 years later, however, while attending Broadneck Senior High School in Annapolis, MD that J was dubbed the names “ILL THOTS & ILLEST” by a fellow classmate due to his remarkable story telling ability. Both names were sounded original so he ran with them. ‎Over the years that followed, JSapp MadStak would continue to base his lyrical foundation off of true past experiences rather than just write rhymes with no purpose, hence his love for TRUE hip hop.  Sapp released his debut underground mixtape-album titled “I.M.I.T. Vol.1 *ILLEST MAN ILLEST TRACKS*” in the summer of 2010. Since it was his first true studio project, Sapp found it only right to pay homage to the artist whom he felt had the most influence over him wanting become an artist himself.

That person is Nasir Jones, aka Nas. In the words of that particular hip-hop icon, you could say that JSapp MadStak is here to “CARRY ON TRADITION” (Nas-Hip Hop Is Dead). In the year that followed, J got right back to work and shortly thereafter released “I.M.I.T. Vol.2”. It was at this time that JSapp MadStak was ready take his passion to the next level….. Shortly after inking a deal with independent record label Lost Reserves, Inc. in April of 2012, J would place his work ethic, motivation, and dedication on full display. He recorded then shortly thereafter released his debut studio album “M.O.I.T. *Mind Of ILL Thots*” on October 30th in the same year. This in turn led to the opportunity for JSapp to participate in Summer Jam 2013 in Salt Lake City, UT. “Mind Of ILL Thots” formally introduced JSizzle to the hip hop world along with the singles “Versatile” & “How I Feel”.  JSapp MadStak would then go on to release “Illest Defined” in March of 2014. On September 2nd, 2014 J released his second studio album “Bring My City Back” which featured a slew of hit style records including “Racks Back”, “Drinks For Everybody”, “What You Lookin For”, “Ride Out”, and of course the title track “Bring My City Back”.  Sapp then went on to drop “The IMG Files” on September 22, 2015 which featured the sin”SheChoosin On Me” feat. Domi Rash & L-Quote.

The release of his self-produced single “Ayo” shortly followed on October 27th via Famous RecordsJSapp MadStak followed up “The IMG Files” with “When Worlds Collide” – November 24th, “Wake Up Call” – February 16th and “Hustle Hard Dream Big – May 20th 2016. These three projects lead Sapp to become part of the MadStak Studios family which is in fact what lead the artist to adopting the “MadStak” portion of his name, which he still uses to this day.  From 2017 to 2018 MadStak Studios/IMG would release multiple JSapp projects including “MadStak Affair”, “Illest Testimony”, “V.O.V.”, “Tri State Hustle”, “When Worlds Collide Vol.2”, “The Total Package EP”, and “Scissor Kick”. At the same time Sapp took it upon himself to launch his own clothing line, “Stak Life Clothing™” in October of 2017.  JSapp MadStak continues to impress new and old fans alike with his amazing work ethic, passion and high energy live performances. He most recently signed with Elrico Tunstall and G.L.R. Productions to represent him as his official management team. Signing with G.L.R. seems to have been the right move since Sapp has already been booked for an ESPN College Gameday commercial shoot and is set to be cast in his first leading movie role scheduled to start production in October of 2018.  All of JSapp MadStak’s projects are currently available via all major digital outlets.
