Dame D.O.L.L.A. on the mic, Dame Lillard on the court. I use music as an outlet to connect with people and paint pictures of my experiences from growing up in Oakland, CA to playing in the league. I'll be posting new music that I'm working on and also using this platform to repost some of the music that artists in my #4BarFriday community and on my label are producing.

Hailing from Lafayette, Louisiana, J-S.A.N.D. is an artist known for his thought-provoking lyricism, hard-hitting production, and witty wordplay. J-S.A.N.D. is also a producer, graphic designer, director, & film editor.

The name “J-S.A.N.D.” is an acronym which stands for “Jaleel Supplies All Needs & Demands” which is a nod to his versatility as a creative visual artist, producer, and songwriter, and his ability to authentically speak to the varied life experiences and feelings of his listeners.

J-S.A.N.D. started producing at age 7 and rapping at age 9. From 2012 – 2022, while he was in middle school and and through college, he released a number of majority self-produced singles, mixtapes, and music videos that garnered a great deal of attention across various social media outlets. His relentless self-promotion caught the eyes of many notable Hip-Hop figures including Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest, which later led to him featuring on and and co-producing “The Vow” on LL Cool J’s 2024 LP, “The FORCE,” executive produced by Q-Tip.
