South began rapping in his sophomore year of high school. He used to think rap was artists telling their stories with the incorporation of rhymes until he took his first creative writing class in high school. South discovered the intricate details and structure truly involved with poetry during his time in the class. From then on, Jacobi South strived to demonstrate the beauty of poetry through his penmanship and music.
Creating a song is not just some simple task for Jacobi South. For South, it’s almost ritual; it’s a precise methodology that involves a connection with the Beat that allows him to complement it in the best way possible. South extracts inspiration from both old and new music and culture pioneers. South finds himself inspired by rap legends such as Nas, 2 PAC, J Cole, Lil Wayne, and more, but his biggest musical inspiration stems from Michael Jackson. South admires Michael’s immense work ethic, musicality, and impact. As Jacobi South continues to create, he diligently works to achieve mastery in his craft like legends before him.
The calming before the storm of an intro hits smoothly but be prepared because Money Stacks comes through like a whirlwind spewing cut-throat bars and punchlines. When it comes to the street and the booth he provides that one-of-a-kind blow. Because money is on top of everything his focus is on boss mode. He's in charge, laying down all the laws in and out of the booth.
"You got the real blow in my rhymes, they getting the blow in my rhymes." The catchy hook resonates and blares from turntables to fans echoing in unison. Stream the single and connect with Money Stacks below.

J Morris, also known as Ya Favourite Lightskin, has enough energy to power a fleet of hybrid cars, enough soul to raise a church roof, and enough music in his blood to contaminate the average man. And, featuring IAMSOULFUL and Mischa, the Canadian hip hop artist harnesses it all into his latest single, “Lockdown” — available now!
Drawing on his years of music and entertainment experience and stories to tell, J Morris’ latest track is a fiery hip-hop collaboration that keeps its foot on the pedal the entire way. With hard-hitting lyrics and a mesmerizing hook, “Lockdown” swims between the lines of upbeat to mid-tempo hip-hop. J Morris lays the foundation with a clear-cut lyricism that upholds his stance on maintaining his passion for the art in a world that tries to hold you back.
Weaving through the punchy verses are IAMSOULFUL and Mischa — two powerful rappers with momentous influence. Adding their creative flair to “Lockdown,” these two powerhouse performers bob and weave in the buoyant vibrancy J Morris carves out.
J Morris AKA Ya Favourite Lightskin was born in Ottawa to a hard-working mother and the reputable Ras Lee, a legendary reggae singer, in the low-income housing projects of Centre-Town, finding hardship as second nature as music.
Through his musical ventures, Morris co-produced the city’s first hip-hop DVD series, “Hold It Down,” in 2004, as well as “Cap City” in 2009. These productions led to a career in radio for Morris has he climbed rank with shows like The Wordlife Show on CKCU 93.1 FM, The B.R.L Show on CHUO 89.1, and Bring Ya Eh Game on CIUT 89.5 FM. Through these outlets, he was nominated and received an award for Local Talent Development in 2009.
Much as J Morris' music reflects the struggle of hardship and overcoming the obstacles of life, his day-to-day activism and regard for human life mirror his humility and his roots. Through this altruism, J Morris founded The Annual Hip Hop Food Drive to service his community while also giving musicians a platform to perform. He is also the Music Director and Co-Founder of Cranium Arts Project which operates Cranium Festival.
With this, you get a sense of perseverance throughout the track. Perhaps it’s through the hardships that early life presented to a young J Morris. Maybe it’s the challenges that come with breaking through a crowded music scene. It could be a mishmash of both of those things.
Either way, “Lockdown” provides encouragement many people in similar situations need: “You just gotta maintain.”
“You can feel it in your soul when the passion hits / I’m fighting for a cause, I’m an activist…”
“I want all the violence just to stop now / and the world to be in peace after lockdown.”
“Lockdown” is available now.
