When it comes to a rapper, their story should flow seamlessly through words. Whether it is about being raised in a struggling household, or about how they strayed off the path in their early childhood, hardship is what makes a good rapper.

Rapping incorporates a variety of ways and styles. Each artist has his or her own way of spewing rhymes.  Although the style matters, content plays a key role in rap. Another critical factor of a good rap is the flow and delivery of it.

There are a lot of rappers who have mastered the content, flow, and delivery of their rap songs in order to lead the industry and be remembered as one of the leading names in the industry. A few of these names include Ice Cube, Eminem, Lupe Fiasco, and Tupac, etc.

One of the leading singers of the modern day is Jonathan Gabriel Wills. He is an African American singer, songwriter, producer, podcast host, entrepreneur, and a rapper who owns a record label called “Real Lion Entertainment Inc.” He is commonly known by the name J. Ills.

  1. Ills grew up in Columbia, South Carolina. At the age of 17, he joined the U.S Army National Guard, with his parent’s consent to build a better future and to get away from the problems at his home. After his graduation from high school, J. Ills took off for his Basic Combat Training (BCT), where he spent six months undergoing BCT/AIT testing for his physical and mental abilities.
  2. ills started working on his music from the age of 15. He later established a record label under which he has released 5 mixtapes. J. Ills’ music is focused on hip-hop, rap, poetry, hardcore, R&B, pop rap, dramatic, and trap. His biggest influences are Jay-Z, Eminem, Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Michael Jackson, Pink, Rihanna, and few more. He has been popular for his independent style of music.

This African American artists’ lyrical flow makes him unique, having a loud and well-spoken structure of words. He practices his delivery every day which makes him better at rapping.
