03 Greedo

Jason Jamal Jackson (born July 26, 1987), known by his stage name 03 Greedo, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. He saw further attention with the release of his mixtape, The Wolf of Grape Street. His debut studio album, God Level, was released on June 26, 2018.

In April 2018, Jackson was sentenced to 20 years in prison on drug trafficking and possession of a firearm charges. He began his prison sentence in late June, 2018. On January 8, 2023, it was announced that 03 Greedo would be released from prison after a successful parole hearing in June, 2022. He was released on January 12.

Since his release from prison, Jackson has continued his work as a recording artist - beginning with his fifth studio album Halfway There which was released 7 days after his parole.

Early life Jason Jamal Jackson was born in West Los Angeles, California, on July 26, 1987, to Michael and Lisa Jackson. In late 1988, when Jackson was only a year old, his father was killed in a motorcycle accident. In 2000, after a nomadic childhood - which included stops in St. Louis, Rural Kansas, Compton, and Sacramento - Jackson moved to the Jordan Downs Housing Projects in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles.

Later in March, Greedo courted controversy by making disparaging remarks about deceased rapper Tupac Shakur in an interview with Billboard Magazine; stating, in part, "Tupac sucks [...] He's delusional. He's a great actor. Part of his music shit was acting." When asked about the comments and the ensuing controversy in a later interview with Genius, Jackson stated that while the comments were taken out of context and he does enjoy some of Shakur's music, he did not feel a need to apologize as he feels Shakur's music is "not authentic" in contrast to his own.

Before turning himself into authorities, Jackson promised to make a vault of 30 albums; he then said he had finished over 3,000 songs before beginning his 20-year sentence. The day before he turned himself in, Jackson released his debut album God Level.

On July 5, 2019, Jackson and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker released a joint EP, Meet the Drummers.

In September 2019, Jackson and Kenny Beats released a new album titled Netflix & Deal.

03 Greedo's eighth album, Load It Up Vol. 01, was released on August 14, 2020. It was preceded by the single "Drip Keep Going", featuring Key Glock.

On February 4, 2022, Jackson released a new single titled "Pourin" featuring Mike Free and BlueBucksClan on Alamo Records via Sony Music Entertainment. Almost a year later, on January 9, 2023, Jackson released the Mike Free–produced mixtape Free 03, which included the single.

After being released from prison in early 2023, he started recording lots of new songs, and on March 17, 2023, he released "Bacc Like I Never Left", the first of two singles from his fifth studio album Halfway There, which was released 7 days later. Jackson originally faced a sentence of 300 years for the charges. However, he eventually took a plea deal and was sentenced to 20 years in prison, though he could be released in five years with good behavior. He was initially set to become eligible for parole in July 2020, but this was denied in 2020 and 2021. Jackson was granted parole release in June 2022 upon completion of a prerelease program. On January 12, 2023, Jackson was released.
