Born and raised by a single Mother in The Bronx, New York, J3P (Jonathan Edward Polanco) was living in poverty in the Eastchester Gardens Projects off Gun Hill Road. His parents were never married and split up shortly after he was born. He still kept a good relationship with his Father and still sees him from time to time to this day. He always witnessed his Mother struggling with life and wished he was able to do something to help even when he was a little boy. She did an amazing job raising him and is much better of today but J.E.P. wants to do so much more. They moved to Lindenhurst, Long Island, New York when he was around the age of 13. He himself then moved to San Antonio Texas for a year and a half for his third year of college and also to find himself. He moved back to New York with his Mother on December 17, 2017. They moved to Holtsville, Long Island, New York in January of 2019. He is now going to college for nursing but puts most of his focus in his music. He hopes to one day provide for both sides of his family and to one day buy a house for his Mother which she rightfully deserves. She is his motivation and he wants to make it big in the rap industry one day. He hasn't given up on his dream and won't let anything get in his way.
