Jadakiss is a Top 5 Dead or Alive MC - a hip-hop icon whose voice and lyricism shaped New York culture. But behind the legend is a man who’s lived real life, real pressure, and real growth.
In this Dog in the Yard episode, Kiss opens up about his journey from Yonkers to global respect. He talks early LOX days, Bad Boy, Ruff Ryders, and the personal lessons that shaped his evolution as an artist, father, and businessman.
We also get into the moments the world doesn’t always hear about:
- His partnership with Pistol Pete & The Academy of Hope pushing prison reform and youth empowerment. - His 2004 North Carolina case — marijuana & gun charges resolved with a plea deal and three months probation. - His 2006 Yonkers arrest involving a .38 revolver and marijuana. - How maturity, accountability, and purpose helped him rise above that era.
This episode is raw, honest, and centered on growth. The story of a man who turned mistakes into momentum, and pain into purpose.
