Jadakiss (born Jason Terrance Phillips on May 27, 1975, in Yonkers, New York) is the rapper whose run with the Lox and a sequence of solo albums made him one of New York rap's most cited lyricists. He formed the Lox with Styles P and Sheek Louch in 1994; signed to Bad Boy Records, the group released Money, Power & Respect (1998) and recorded the 1997 tribute 'We'll Always Love Big Poppa' for their mentor, the Notorious B.I.G. His solo debut Kiss tha Game Goodbye (2001) was certified platinum, and Kiss of Death (2004) debuted atop the Billboard 200 behind the single 'Why?', which reached number eleven on the Hot 100. In May 2025 he launched the podcast Joe and Jada (CTL-E-5598) with Fat Joe, billed by iHeartPodcasts and The Volume.
