Bio
At the age of 19 J.R.Mitchell was nicknamed "Jesse James" by producer James"Jaimie"Bradshaw. Mostly for his energetic, tongue twisting, similar to a rapid machine gun flow. Not to mention his detailed lyrics about everyday life delivered over slowed down southern beats. A career on the fast track would soon be derailed by everyday life. Jesse decided to put his career on hold and start a family with his high school sweet heart. At the age of twenty he jumped head first into the unknown world of marriage.The first two years where great Jesse was reading his bible a little more then he use to. He started to really get a picture of who Christ was and what he had done for us. Little did he know his world was about to come crashing down all around him. Cleaning around the house one day he found some pictures that would switch the game up instantly . His lovely wife was being unfaithful and cheating on him. A huge fight broke out and Jesse packed his things and moved out. Heart broken and devastated he found a place and prepared to forget about the whole situation. After a while she pleaded her case saying it would never happen again.Still in love and with a heart of forgiveness he accepted what had happened and put it in the Lords hands. Three years past and all seemed well, now the father of a two year old son and a brand new baby boy everything was perfect. Until one day after working a twelve hour shift he came home to another disturbing situation. His wife was at it again. This time Jesse lost it and a physical fight broke out and he had to leave before the police arrived. That was the last straw for him," all that waisted time being a good, honest, hard working husband for nothing," Jesse thought. He called up his old industry pal Mike Moe of Beltway 8 Records saying "Man, it's time to get back in the game!" .He felt like he had tried to do it God's way and look what happened. Now full of anger, hate, lust for respect and a hunger for new women to fill the void left by his ex.
He hit the studio then hit the road, fighting to put the pain behind him Jesse put his bible down and resurrected his alter ego...... Jesse James. Constantly drinking , smoking, fighting and indulging in sexual immorality was now almost a daily event. Opening shows for LiL Flip, MikeJones, PaulWall, Chamillionaire, Kiotti, Bushwick Bill,TopRankBoyz, BigPokey, LiLTroy, H-Town Ridaz and many more. Covering tour dates in Texas, Oklahoma, Omaha Nebraska, Kansas City, Chicago and Little Rock, Arkansas. Jesse James was building a buzz on the underground scene with mixtapes like. "Hulk Mean 4 The Green","Crack On Wax",and "Heavy Metal" . While putting the finishing touches on his upcoming 2007 release "The Road To Glory" the holy spirit began to convict Jesse through his four & five year old sons. They would rap every word to his songs like "Take Ya Cloths Off" and"Thug Rider". After growing up on the southside of Houston.Tx, Jesse had seen enough of his friends killed or thrown in prison .He couldn't allow seeds of destruction to be planted on his children like that, or any one else's for that matter. God's plan was at work in his life and he had no idea the internal warfare had begun." How can I fix this mess that I help to create" he thought. Jesse returned to church in hopes of finding an answer he began attending Lakewood Church pastored by Joel Olsteen. After two months it was clear that he had to give his all to the Lord. On November.5, 2006 Jesse was born again and started his walk with Jesus Christ. Two years later the Lord arranged for Jesse to run into an old friend at a wedding. Jeremiah Palmer (Jp) now know as Minister Jp.
He started to tell Jesse about the wonderful plan God had for him. How he would be a gospel rapper and minister for the Lord. "WHAT ?" Jesse said laughing, then he remember what he'd heard in church the week before."God want's you to dream a new dream!", Pastor Olsteen preached. Jp continue to relay the message God had given him for Jesse.That night he went home and prayed and God led him to the internet to search for christian rappers and he was amazed at what he found. He saw a holy ghost revolution in the making that he would soon be a part of. Jesse wrestled with going back to his old music and lifestyle. After all he had spent a lot of time and money on building up his career, how could he just leave it behind. Finally the holy ghost convicted Jesse again and he found himself on his hands and knees crying out" I except your commission!!!" Now prayed up, anointed with the holy ghost, & married to a beautiful woman of God. DatBoyJesse is ready to tell everybody about somebody who can save anybody.
