JaQu3z is a hip-hop artist and producer from Hempstead, Long Island,NY. Born Jacques Petite III in 1991, JaQu3z knew from an early age that it was his calling to be an entertainer. Inspired by some of the greats, such as 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G, KRS-One, Jay Z and NaS, music gave him an unrivalled feeling that he quickly established as the same feeling that he wanted to give other people, through music of his own creation.

  Starting out with spoken word poetry in the 4th grade, and quickly transitioning into rap music, JaQu3z learnt what is known today as the "Four Elements of Hip-Hop" by the age of 9, something that he strongly believes most upcoming hip-hop artists today don't give enough respect to.

  Releasing various mixtapes and samplers for years, all while doing shows through the state of New York, in 2012, JaQu3z caught the attention of the 456 Movement, an independent record label from New York, determined to bring real music back to the forefront of the culture. The 456 continues going from strength to strength, developing buzz not just throughout the state of New York, but internationally as well.

  JaQu3z is incredibly passionate about everything he does, and music is absolutely no different. For him, there is no plan B, music is the dream and JaQu3z will do what it takes to make the dream work. There are plenty of underground rappers who never make it past the mixtape circuit, simply because they don't believe they can truly succeed, or they don't work hard enough. This will not be the case with JaQu3z.
