03 Greedo, whose real name is Jason Jamal Jackson, is an American rapper and singer from Watts, Los Angeles. Born on July 26, 1987, Greedo's music is a vivid tapestry of his life experiences, chronicling the struggles and triumphs of street life and his journey through the criminal justice system. His sound is a unique blend of West Coast hip-hop with melodic elements, introspective lyrics, and a Southern rap influence, a testament to his Texas roots.

The prolific artist started gaining significant attention in the late 2010s with a series of mixtapes that showcased his versatility as a musician and his ability to fuse different genres into his work. Tracks such as "GUNS N ROSES" and "Misunderstood" exhibit his raw lyrical delivery and signature style—a gritty, unvarnished look into his life and emotions. 03 Greedo's career took a forced hiatus due to a 20-year prison sentence in 2018 for drug trafficking and firearm possession, but he managed to leave his fans with a treasure trove of recorded material. Despite his incarceration, new music continues to be released, including features and remixes like "Only Problem," "Choices," and the hauntingly reflective "Never Confess," allowing his voice to remain a potent force within the hip-hop community. His plight has made him a symbol of the systemic issues within the criminal justice system and a beloved figure among his loyal fan base.
