Jonathan King Conner, better known as King CJ, is a 20 year old rapper from Chicago, IL, signed to both 
“Straight Like Dat ent.” and “T.E.A.M. ent”. He’s released one mix-tape with another one on the way.
Jonathan was born on November 6, 1992 in Inglewood, Chicago, IL. Jonathan was raised by his mother 
and his aunts. Growing up he took an interest in artists such as T.I. and Reed Dollaz which soon became 
his greatest inspirations. "I was bad as hell when I was little. I was a bad ass kid. I didn't give a damn 
about anything. The only thing that would calm me down was music…when I'd watch performances with 
T.I. up on stage…that was a dream. First it was a fantasy, then it was my dream, and now I'm making it 
my reality." (quote from King CJ) Jonathan got serious with his craft at age 13. It was then that Jonathan 
began to expand his writing skills at a higher level and would carry the experiences he went through 
in and apply them to his music. “When my cousin died I got real serious…I said what the fuck I wanted 
to say. I felt like nobody could stop me. I put all my words and emotions down on paper. The first song 
I ever wrote was for him - A Letter to Mada - and in that song I was telling him how much we miss 
him. It was a dedication and a relief. I was so emotional when he died. I didn't know what to do. When 
Mada died, I was going crazy, insane/Smokin weed, drinkin liquor, I was moving things. I didn't care 
about nobody's feelings but myself. I had to tell him I was sorry. Sorry for cheating on my ex, sorry for 
disrespecting my mom… I was telling him everyone's ok down here. PJ, WhoJo, Auntie Regina, the whole 
T Love family."
Jonathans first Mix-tape “World Is Mine” released in 2009. "Basically this mix-tape was made with the 
purpose of just introducing everyone to me “Jon”, and why I'm here. Jon is not soft, but he can get 
emotional, He’s sensitive about what he says, He thinks things through, He's the business Man. Jon is 
lovable, outspoken, the big brother. Jon's a family person and the good twin. All of those things are what 
makes Jon Jon" After Jonathan’s cousin Mada died he teamed up with “Don-Don The Great” through 
“T.E.A.M. ent” for the song “Shoutouts”. "He got in the booth, free-styled his whole verse, and killed 
it which was extremely motivating. After that I was like his little brother. 3 months later he signed me 
to TEAM ent. Shortly afterward I met J-Moe Da Don, president and founder of “Straight Like Dat ent”. 
In quick paste I rose to the ranks of VP”. Jonathan recorded 90's Babies and Road to Glory with J-Moe, 
Jason, and Jigga, which put SLD on the map. "When I first went back to Chicago after spending 2 years 
in Minnesota, my whole block was screaming Straight Like Dat. That was… that was exciting for me. 
I felt like I got into something, like I did it. EVERYBODY was screaming SLD. They were throwing up, 
doing handshakes…that was a real glory moment for me. They saw what I had become and it really gave 
me the motivation to keep my head up and my feet going. That was a huge motivation. We got Jeezy 
screaming Straight Like Dat! 2 Chainz!"
Next up, King CJ will be stepping out of the box. "Now I'm working on my second mixtape, Elements of 
Anger. It's basically me coming out of my box, out of my shell. I feel comfortable where I'm at and I'm 
coming out to tell everyone who CJ is. Whatever comes out of my mouth is one hunned. If I could put 
a title on what the Elements of Anger is…just saying what the fuck you want. I haven't been able to say 
what I wanted to say for the longest and now I finally feel like I can say what I need to say." He's also 
collaborating with Don Don The Great on their mixtape King of the Throne and will be performing in 
Chicago this summer.

Reigning in from the 218 in Minnesota the Boys in the Woodz bring a huge variety of versatile styles, energy, and emotion to they're music many people in a different areas of the world can relate too.
