█▒▒▒█ Real name, no...you know the rest, Jomo Lyles-Belton
█▒▒▒█ (pronouned Jah-moe) was born in Columbia, South Carolina
█▒▒▒█ before moving to Atlantic City as a young child. He thrived
█▒▒▒█ in the city where his father taught him to play basketball,
█▒▒▒█ he would go on to lead the Atlantic City Vikings for four
█▒▒▒█ years. A member of the school's 1000-Point Club and the
█▒▒▒█ Cape-Atlantic League all-stars, Jomo was readily considered
█▒▒▒█ one of the top high school guards in the state of New Jersey.
█▒▒▒█ After sparring with his coach at TCNJ-Trenton State, Jomo
█▒▒▒█ decided to return to the south.
█▒▒▒█
█▒▒▒█ At North Carolina Central - Durham, an NCAA Division 2
█▒▒▒█ basketball program, Belton would once again be in the
█▒▒▒█ spotlight. His performance earned him a spot on the CIAA
█▒▒▒█ conference all-star team. Despite his success on the court,
█▒▒▒█ Jomo maintained a shy, soft-spoken, and self-aware image.
█▒▒▒█ Jomo spent most of college so quiet he earned the nickname
█▒▒▒█ "Mute." As he got older and gained more experience he became
█▒▒▒█ more social. He attributes his quiet past to fear, "I was a
█▒▒▒█ scared dude, now I'm older and fear no one, consequently, I'm
█▒▒▒█ recklessly arrogant at times. I had done things I shouldn't
█▒▒▒█ have done, and been places I shouldn't have been, but now I'm
█▒▒▒█ older and I'm tryin' to chill out with that."
█▒▒▒█
█▒▒▒█ Upon graduating without the prospect of being drafted in the
█▒▒▒█ NBA, Jomo was ready to settle down in Durham before his
█▒▒▒█ father alerted him of an opening as an Atlantic City
█▒▒▒█ Firefighter. Belton scored fourth-highest on the qualifying
█▒▒▒█ tests which were administered to over one thousand
█▒▒▒█ prospective firefighters. With his return to Atlantic City,
█▒▒▒█ Jomo was reacquainted with old friends and old flames. In
█▒▒▒█ "Heartbreak," Jomo croons about Rashada, a girl who had done
█▒▒▒█ him wrong as a youngster and who is now his current
█▒▒▒█ girlfriend. "She's changed me a lot, been a bigger effect on
█▒▒▒█ me than people realize. I know she's not gonna like the song
█▒▒▒█ when she hears it, but hey, it's the actual factuals."
█▒▒▒█
█▒▒▒█ In addition to working full-time as a fireman, Jomo wanted to
█▒▒▒█ be a businessman in the rap game. He hooked up with a sheisty
█▒▒▒█ cat trying to promote concerts. When "Big Sleep" failed to
█▒▒▒█ appear at a show Jomo had booked, Jo knew the only way to
█▒▒▒█ succeed in the industry was by doing it himself, so he began
█▒▒▒█ rapping. "Mad Man" Juwan Lowrey donated a few beats for Jomo
█▒▒▒█ to write songs. "It was a good beginning but at that point I
█▒▒▒█ really didn't understand the mechanics of a song - the
█▒▒▒█ chorus, the bars, etc. I began studying the rhyme schemes,
█▒▒▒█ style and delivery of B.I.G., Jay-Z, Lil' Kim, and primarily
█▒▒▒█ Eminem.
█▒▒▒█
█▒▒▒█ Meeting Keys, becoming friends and partners is the next
█▒▒▒█ landmark in Belton's life. He met Billy Harding on the set of
█▒▒▒█ a film, and for lack of a better phrase and at the cost of
█▒▒▒█ being trite, 'the rest is history.' They collaborated with
█▒▒▒█ Ray McKnight, Perservere (Young 'Lil,) and Borino to make
█▒▒▒█ "America's Playground" - one of the hottest releases out of
█▒▒▒█ New Jersey since Frank Sinatra rep'ed Hoboken.
█▒▒▒█
█▒▒▒█ Jomo is content selling his record on his own for the time
█▒▒▒█ being, "Sure I'd love to sign with a label, but only under
█▒▒▒█ the right circumstances, I'm not tryin' to sign with Roc' and
█▒▒▒█ be the 3rd or 4th option. I don't want to be behind Jay-Z or
█▒▒▒█ behind 50, I'm tryin' to be in the forefront. I'm not sayin'
█▒▒▒█ I'm the best lyricist, but I make good music and I'm what's
█▒▒▒█ real. I'm not afraid to turn record deals down, I won't sign
█▒▒▒█ to a label that's not going to promote me the way I deserve
█▒▒▒█ to be promoted."
