First of all, please introduce yourself to those readers who may not have heard of you before.

Where did you grow up and what was it like?

I grew up in Pleasant Grove, P.G. The Grove. I also stomp in The Nawf Side so I got two hoods, ya dig. Mama from one side, daddy from the otherside – now you got J-Juce.

How’s the situation on the streets in Dallas right now?

Dallas is gutta fa sho, right now the streets it’s alot going on. It’s the city with the #1 crime rate, so get ready fa these Dallas rappers to expose it fa sho.

How would you characterize yourself?

I Cater 2 Da Streets you know, I don’t beef and all that I just do me and I fuck with real people because real recognize real.

What’s your opinion about the state of hiphop and rap in general?

Well, it’s all good because the South finally got recognition. So now them Texas boys is coming to add fire to the flame, it’s all to the good mane.

In 2000 you debuted on the scene in the group Geto Starz. Are you satisfied with the first CD?

I was satisfied with the Geto Starz because we were young raw and hungry. I was reppen Texas, Chocolatize was from Pine Bluff, Arkansas, and Pimp who is currently serving a 25 year sentence was out of Louisiana, straight up Dirty South with it.

Your first solo record came out in 2002. Tell us something about “Cadillac Swangen“!

“Cadillac Swangen” is a hood underground classic, ya dig. when I recorded that CD I was still fullltime street grindin’ and learning the game, so I was getting my feet wet, but it’s definately some classics on that record.

What’s up with the “I Cater 2 Da Streets” Mixtape-Series? Where can those be purchased?

It’s all to the good. “I Cater 2 Da Streets V.1″ was a mix with some Texas stars such as Lil KeKe, ESG, Kottonmouth, Michael Watts and more with my niggaz URC, Young Thugz, Dubble Up, T-Dubb, 380, 2Deep & more. “I Cater 2 Da Streets V.2″ is more of me as a solo artist with a few features, the songs that didn’t make the album are going to be on V.2 all new and original tracks, then V.3 will back door it.

Which one of these has been your favorite collaboration?

I worked with the Dallas homie Kottonmouth, that’s my nigga. I just did a track with Young Bleed from the old No Limit squad we all down with the Southern Society that’s the label I’m signed with as well as my producers. But anyway me and Young Bleed did a nice one it will be on my album “Texas Juce”. I got some surprises in the hat as well as a gang of Dallas artist. And I definately would like to work with U.G.K.!

Who is the most important personality in Dallas rap to you as far as putting the town on the map?

Well it all started with Nemesis, they got their deal in the early 90’s and put it down and started puttin’ it down way back then. Rest in Peace, Big Al!

Tell us a little bit about your upcoming album called “Texas Juce”. Who is doing the production and who will be featured on it?

My label Southern Society did half of the production and Mr. Cleva FTM Productionz did the other half. Zig Zag did a couple mostly in house.

What about slowed music, who’s the best DJ in that category right now? And do you have a favourite Screw-Tape?

“3 In The Morning” that’s my favourite one there mane. When I was on the run I used to sit in the garage listen to that one, blowin’ blunts making beats and writing raps. Mane. Michael Watts is hot, O.G Ron C fucks around, too. Then DJ Drop out the D-Town, he’s raw wit it, too.

What do you know about Germany?

Not too much but I would love to come see what it do. I need to get my product out there. But until then: www.myspace.com/jjuceboy – that’s where you can holla at me and I’ll get back at ya, listen to my music, make a purchase if you like what you hear and download the single.
