Rapper & creative, J. Monty, was raised by hip-hop in South Atlanta as he looked up to the greats like Common, Eminem and Andre 3000. His uncle who is a producer showed him the ropes that gave him the inspiration to take music seriously.At first, J. Monty, born Jordan Montgomery, made music for himself and his friends. 

After realizing that formal education was not the path for him, he fully committed to his career path and formed a rap group with a gang out of Atlanta.
One night he received a vision from God that blood would be dripping from his dreads as a final warning that he was drifting too far from the path God was calling him to. That same night he was jumped in the club and was left clinging to life. His head was split open by glass bottles, chairs and the fists of the 30 to 40 men who jumped him. He survived and decided to submit his life to God.

Monty released his first project under this new direction in 2015, Level 54. That same year, he released Second Born, another mixtape with reflective lyrics and boom-bap production. It featured the 6-minute long “100 Bars, Pt. 3” that went viral for its lyrical prowess. Second Born was a personal highlight in Monty’s career that allowed him to tour.

In 2016, Monty signed with Sony Music | ESSENTIAL. He is currently back releasing music independently through a series called TESTIFY.
