TE BRANDED BIO “Big J” born August 11, 1981, was born and raised in Charlotte, NC. The Grier Heights Community also known as "Griertown" or "Stumptown" is where he resided. Straight out of the QC, or Queen City, J has seen it all and been through it all. His flow brought to the mic is very unique. A definite must hear individual with a good story to tell in his music has been his mindset. His 2 cousins G-Boss, and T.Bailey also were born and raised in Griertown with him. G-Boss composed the idea of “Thug Essembly” which represents how the three individuals love to wild out, make music, and hustle the streets all as one unit, or assembly. Assembly, commonly meaning a bugle call summoning troops to fall into ranks refers to “TE Branded.” When the time comes no member will hesitate to do what needs to be done no matter the situation. As the years went by everyone started their families and started to part their own ways slowly but still keeping Thug Essembly 'BRANDED into their hearts.' On down the road a new member was founded by “Big J” who went by the name of Mac. The young upcoming star “Yung Macnificent,” born May 4, 1986, was born in Charlotte but raised in the country of Waxhaw, NC. Mac started producing back in early 2003 while in high school. Understanding his rough struggle in life with money, family and drugs is very important. He is the only producer for TE so every song they compose is Yung Mac produced. The beats Mac composes are exhilarating and very unique, but definitely good for the ears and soul. Even though a lot of people took him for granted and didn't appreciate his skills, TE Branded makes sure no tracks go to waste. Not to mention, his shovel-deep relentless flow is a must hear when on the mic. It is official that “Big J” and “Yung Macnificent” are the two holding the torch up for “TE Branded” right now, TE has awakened and is no doubt just what the south needs for it's latest edition!
