    Artist History
    Born and raised in Detroit, JPD has a long and vast history in the music business. It all started back in '92, when Jason Porter (a troubled drug addict, known at the time as "Shank") joined forces with "Poppa Shane", a popular rapper in Detroit's Hip Hop scene of the time (i.e. ICP, Esham, Kid Rock). Together they formed the infamous and now legendary "Mad Trauma". From 92-99, "Mad Trauma" played house parties and underground clubs, in between recording tracks at the now famous "Disc Ltd Recording Studio" (recording studio of ICP, Eminem, etc). In early '96, Mad Trauma released its first and only full length album in existence, the much sought-after "Fatally Wounded" to good reviews throughout the local Hip Hop community. The duo continued to play shows, releasing several singles, until early 99, when JPD became homeless and lived in the back of an '83 Chevy van. Finding himself deeper into drugs and the streetlife after narrowly avoiding a lengthy prison sentence on weapons charges, JPD debated an offer to move to California. Reluctantly, he left Mad Trauma in '99 for Cali to start a new project and pursue deals. He grew a strong fan base, which in turn earned him hundreds of gigs. Since then, he's gone through numerous changes, and went back to his Detroit music roots, forging a new sound. JPD's back. JPD's back on drugs. Keep a lookout for the "World Fucking Tour from Hell" showdates, which features a live band onstage, and for the release of the highly anticipated album "Detroit Chronicles", from the fxcked up and twisted world of "JPD" coming soon...
