Jux Strongarm

Government name Daytwaun Minter, Jux Strongarm is a highly skilled rapper from the hoods of Albany, N.Y. He is a former honor student that spent the times he wasn’t in school immersed in the streets with everything that comes with it a criminal lifestyle. As a former gang banger and drug dealer, he had enough sense to always keep a job and pursue greatness through school. However in 2007, the street life caught up with him and he was arrested for 4 bank robberies and the attempted robbery of a gun store while being connected to at least 14 other robberies. In a relatively unprecedented hood move, he chose not to snitch and was sentenced to 13 years hard time. He ended up doing 11 ½ years in New York State prisons and upon his release in December 2018, he decided to pursue music full time. Prior to being arrested in, in late 2006 and early 2007, he released 2 mixtapes locally in Albany, N.Y. (Hood Righteous 1 & Hood Righteous 2) under the stage name Tweeze G. He makes gangsta music, conscious music, female friendly music, and uses clever punchlines to convey his points. Growing up his favorite rappers were DMX, Nas, and Jay-Z. Jux Strongarm also has said that if Biggie Smalls and 2Pac were alive today that conscious music and gangsta music would be “thriving in harmony” and he would like to make that happen. As a child of the crack era, Jux Strongarm has been known to state that “The 2000s is the millennium of the black man”.
