Bio

True power can never be suppressed and stars aren't born to fade. Meet J.S. KORNER (Rob Goodwin), the Brooklyn-born, New Jersey-raised rhyme-slinger who is the very embodiment of these axioms. His words seethe with every human emotion: from anger to hurt, from sadness to triumph. Korner's muse is his life, making each lyric sound more like a journal entry rather than some frivolous freestyle rhyme. "Every time I complete a track, I complete another chapter in my life," says Korner about the catharsis that rhyme provides. Other rappers have put their life to wax, just like celebrities have to books. But what separates the compelling from the mundane, lies in the author himself. Korner, ever observant of the maelstrom that surrounds him, is able to articulate the human experience with a keen honesty. He puts his heart in every line; with each exhalation he's liberated, empowered and resurrected even. Korner will fight to the death. Check the hook from the powerful lead track, Hood Rich: "Hood Rich/Hood Rich/Still gettin that paper/got whips, got ice/we see past the haters. . . " Korner has his dukes up. Korner will be heard. Blast his disc and you'll realize that it is only a matter of time. His nasal voice is more like a searing assault - another attribute that sets him apart from others. His experiences coat each and every word, arresting your attention and forcing you to just listen. When people hear him, "they hear hurt, the good times, what my heart desires, my dreams," he said. His voice has an authenticity, not just because he's lived much of what he spits. Korner is realness personified, what he says is a true outpouring from his heart. And if you get to know him long enough, his heart is in New Jersey, locales like Newark, Plainfield and East Orange, are the settings for his verbal narratives. What's in a name? J.S.Korner symbolizes his personal vision of prosperity - where music, family and assets matter most. Let his impassioned, compelling rhymes move you. Through craggy terrain and an indifferent environment - despite all that he's been through - it's no mistake that he's still here. Korner is thriving and making poignant music out of it all!
