JD Era [ICE H2O Canada] - No Hand Outs!

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Wu-Tang International) JD Era was raised in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada and developed a love for music at an early age. He started rapping at the age of 14 and began making a name for himself throughout ciphers at local shows and concerts. At age 16 Era began writing rhymes and entered and won his first freestyle competition. His passion for battling other emcees gained him a reputation as one of the top freestyle lyricists in Toronto. JD solidified his reputation with a victory at the Mark Ecko Getting Up Festival's Freestyle Competition. Under the watchful eye of an energetic crowd and prestigious judges such as Mr.X, JD defeated 15 other emcees and emerged as the last man standing. This was one of the many highlights in his young and promising career.

Packed with punch lines, witty metaphors, and a smooth flow, JD ERA is definitely a hip hop force to be reckoned with, having paid dues with a number of mixapes and releaseds, he has made a name for himself. His skills and hard work got noticed by Wu-Tang's own Raekwon and by July 2011, JD ERA inked a deal with "The Chef" on his brand new label ICE - H2O to make him the first ever artist outside US to be part of Ice H20 and possibly Canada's first Wu-Tang affiliate.
