In an era where many of the O.G.’s of hip-hop deem the Next Generation Artists as “talentless”, “unoriginal”, “auto tuned out”; a New Jack emerges on the scene demolishing those ideas, and proving to the world that he is indeed an Artist with skills that are cut from a different cloth. 
 Our story begins sometime during the 80’s, overseas in Huntington England where two parents gave birth to a babyboy, naming him Jance Payne. With Jance’s father being in the Air force, the family eventually relocated to Grand Rapids, Michigan when he was just three years old. 
 Although his parents later divorced, his mother raised him solely while his father still remained in his life. Jance led a pretty normal childhood, but at the age of six, he stumbled across something that would forever impact his life; a CD. After being introduced to numerous genres of music through his father, young Jance would eventually take this passion and craft it into something greater. 
 Donning the nickname “Peez”, he attended numerous schools in the Grand Rapids area eventually graduating from Ottawa Hills High School. Still cultivating an infatuation for music, Jance eventually decided to pursue rap. After positive feedback from family and friends, he decided that this may be the ideal career for him.
