Hailing from Atlanta, GA, this 850 transplant knew from the moment he saw Run-DMC's "Walk This Way" video that music would be his way of expression. Wanting to end all opportunities of presenting his gift to the people at 13, it was Notorious B.I.G's memorable verse on Craig Mack's "Flavor In Ya Ear" remix that drew STEELE back to the pen. Citing B.I.G., Slick Rick, Big Daddy Kane, André 3000, Nas, & Scarface as major influences, STEELE knew in 2002, when he gave his life over to Christ, that his verses had a deeper purpose. Now with a mission to "Impart, Influence, & Inspire", Jamal STEELE's lyrical crusade has made stops on Mick Boogie's collaborative mixtape with The Game in 2005 entitled "The Dope GAME", Jamal's first solo mixtape in 2006 entitled "Prelude 2 A CLASSIC, Vol. I" &, in 2009, his first solo release, a 5 track EP known as "The GENESIS". <br>
