On October 7th, 1990 in Lancaster California, Shajee Crosdale (a.k.a. Jee Sick) was born. A rough childhood of seeing alcoholism, drug addiction, poverty, and the negative side of the street life had Jee determined to break the cycle. After moving to Portland, OR with his father at 12 years old, he found himself in very unfamiliar surroundings. The move from an extremely multicultural area to one of Americas whitest cities was a culture shock to the young black boy to say the least. Hip-Hop always seemed to be in Jee Sicks blood, and his male role models during his childhood were his favorite rappers, naturally he wanted to contribute to the culture. At 14, Jee Sick and his childhood friend Remy Rock started to make mixtapes using a cellphone mic to record themselves rapping between two speakers playing the beat. It wasn't until about a year later when he was introduced to writing lyrics, with his big brother Shad Sick challenging him to write a verse. At that point he started to develop himself as an artist. When Jee Sick connected with Packard Brown for a short stint on Flvx Society, he put together his debut EP “Hoe Tales”, which was released online for free on Halloween of 2012. Hoe Tales had garnered attention around the globe and Flvx Society provided Jee with various shows on the west coast. Now Jee Sick returns to the scene as a self publishing artist under the label him and Shad Sick have formed called Sick Intelligence. Currently managed by music business entrepreneur and producer/engineer Marshall Haze, Jee now has the business team to effectively release and perform music.
