Kenneth Pettway Jr (born December 31st 1983) better known by his stage name J-Batters, is an American rapper from the Forgotten City of Buffalo, NY. Blessed with the lyrical ability to spit that Gangsta, Grimy, Melodic flow, Jay has been compared to the likes of some of the greats in the game. Just to name a few, he gives you street stories bringing the visual of the streets of Buffalo to life right before the listeners ears just like Jay Z did with Brooklyn and Nas did with his Queens Bridge tales. His witty metaphors & punches gives you that Gritty Gangsta blend of Styles P & Jadakiss all wrapped in one. With the ability to display his versatility with those Grimy Melodic hooks & verses along with his rough upbringing and hustler ambition, some have compared Batters to 50 Cent as well.
