Real name Marlon Robain born in Brooklyn, New York on Sept, 25th 1985 moved to Huntsville, Alabama in Feb, 2002.
Both of his parents are from Trinidad and his step dad is from Jamaica so reggae and dancehall play a major part in
His culture. Growing up his mom always played music while she cleaned the house and that lead to his fascination with hip hop. Being very gifted in math and science it seemed that school was to easy and not enough challenging. J.Diamond wanted to play basketball and football but his parents were academic first parents so sports was out of the question. Began battiling at the age of 14 in the cafeteria of his high school, William Floyd high by the rap name of J.Diamond which he promised he would never reveal how he got the name. J.Diamond's style was heavily influenced by street lyricists and the users of punchlines such as Biggie, Lloyd Banks, Fabolous ,Cassidy, Jadakiss and Camron. Rapping in high school wasn't making any money and undecided of what direction his future was heading, J.diamond did what most young black Americans do which is dropout of school and started selling drugs. Street life and hustling lead to trouble, arrests, and poor choice of women, understanding that their are no 401k plans in dealing, J.Diamond fell under the wing off his uncle who rapped and had a studio in his home. When his uncle died J.Diamond wasn't able to take it well because in his eyes his uncle was the best mc the world never got to hear. Wanting to fulfill his uncles dream of making it in the hip hop world, J.Diamond searched for open mics and battles and that came to a halt due to being in a era the south dominated, J.Diamond grouped up with local friends and started to create a record label. That plan fell apart due do procrastination on label mates and the owners who shall not be named J.Diamond found himself always starting from scratch because no one was on his level or pace and he was very eager to become a star, J.diamond realized his vision couldn't be seen by others in order to get further he had to finance his own career by working anywhere that would hire him and putting all his money into himself instead of building a label with others. J.diamond was always a good lyricist from battling but knowing that battle mc's don't find there place into to hip hop stardom, he developed how to write songs with concepts unlike no other telling the world of his struggle to get to the finer things in life. Dealing with artists that move slow made J.diamond learn how to do his own hooks without having multiple artists on every song, the true meaning of independence. J.Diamond's first mixtape Diamond In The Dirt shows he is a major sneaker head and a ladies man/pretty boy trying to bring back that stupid fly era like the way Dipset did it, spitting that concrete jungle flow and delivery over production from the southern trap. When its all said and done J.Diamond wants to be remembered as one of the best ever especially for his songwriting ability.

For every era in music there have been Girl Groups that encompassed the spirit of the time: the classic girl-next-door sultriness of the Supremes; the glamorous and fashion forward boldness of LaBelle; the New Jack sexiness of En Vogue; the B-Girl allure of TLC; the unapologetic over-the-topness of the Spice Girls; and the fearless independence of Destiny’s Child. And now, stepping up to claim their place amongst these legendary groups, is Sincerely XO.
JLa, Vii and Jaz took very different roads to Atlanta and it’s burgeoning music scene. But circumstance brought all three girls and their families to Atlanta, GA, the hotbed of talent discovery. The girls were each pursuing non-conventional interests - none of them had a typical college major/ career/ life plan mapped out – when fate stepped in and forever altered their course.
Two Atlanta music insiders were putting together a group of two singers and a rapper called the Yes Ma’ams. They envisioned an updated version of Vanity Six; glam, sex, mystery and intrigue. After fruitless auditions, they started reaching out to women they knew, and between the two of them thought of JLa, Vii and Jaz, who were all already on the scene in Atlanta in their own right. All three ladies agree that the chemistry was instant, and the bond between them was solid.
While the overall vibe with the new group and management was good, they couldn’t reach an agreement on contract terms, and Jaz’s mother Stephania Shine stepped up to manage the group. The trio shed their Yes Ma’am monikers of Secret (JLa), Privacy (Vii) and Slander (Jaz), and put together a new vision – their vision - of who and what they wanted to be. “We want to be a household name,” says JLa. The ladies decided on the name Sincerely XO; a promise to fans that they were now getting the ladies’ genuine, sincere selves. Along with Atlanta-based hit maker Verse Simmonds, SXO has been working on telling familiar, relatable stories through music: love, life, and heartbreak. But more than anything else? “Our music is about having fun!” exclaims Vii, echoing the sentiment of her group mates. And indeed the girls emit a playful, flirty and fun vibe that makes anyone want to get to know more about them. “Sincerely XO is a special group. On site you fall in love with them,” says Simmonds. “They are exactly what the music industry has been missing in a girl group. I can’t wait for the world to get to know them.”
SXO is indeed ready to take the world by storm, but they don’t shy away from comparisons of the groundbreaking girl groups that preceded them. “We accept (the comparisons),” explains Jaz, “but are going to show how we’re different. We’re all building off of someone who came before us.”
