Incomparable. That one word eloquently captures the creative spirit of groundbreaking artist J Chase. Michigan’s Joseph Washington a.k.a J Chase is an up and coming artist in Hip Hop today. From the city of Lansing, to a major platform in the movement of the new school, a rocky road provides a window into the grace he experienced throughout his life--with every situation molding him into the artist and leader he is today.

Michigan-based rapper and producer J Chase emerged out of the capital city of Lansing, Michigan in the early 2010s, first as a teenager with local group Black Diamond, and later as a solo artist. Born Joseph Washington, he adopted the J Chase moniker as his music career began to take off with the release of early mixtapes like Gumbo and Welcome to My Reality. His exposure increased with gigs opening for Big Sean, Bun B, Cardi B, B.O.B., Juicy J, Rich Homie Quan, Rich The Kid, Kid Ink, and other well-known acts, and by 2016 he'd found additional success with singles like Louder and She's a Monsta on MNS Records.
