Jody Breeze is a southern spit-fire best known for his contribution to Block Entertainment’s landmark group, Boyz N Da Hood, and a solo artist on Shonuff Records. Now a free agent, Jody Breeze is ready to solidify his spot as a rap phenomenon amongst the greatest that ever did it.
As a native of Griffin, GA (a small town outside of Atlanta), Jacoby White a/k/a Jody Breeze began exploring his athletic side at the early age of 4, splitting his time between playing basketball and football. Once Jody reached adolescence he focused solely on basketball throughout high school. While athletics was an important part of his life, the lure of the streets began attracting Jody to alternate pastimes. Jody soon found it difficult to perform a balancing act between maintaining his grades, staying on the basketball team and running the streets. Unfortunately, his grades dropped and he gave up basketball and school all together. Without basketball or the desire to further his education, the street life dominated his existence. Through several trials, Jody realized he needed to make a change and decided to return back to high school and graduate. Post-graduation, Jody discovered his gift for putting words together effortlessly to describe occurrences in his daily life amongst his classmates. This skill soon developed into a smooth and natural lyrical flow that attracted his peers, making him a neighborhood favorite.
Jody’s life took a successful turn into the mainstream when he met Russell “Big Block” Spencer, CEO of Block Entertainment. Big Block was putting together the southern version of the rap group NWA with the newly formed, Boyz N Da Hood. Jody expressed to Block that he wanted the group to be “new artists, not established ones, so everyone would be viewed equally.” The group consisted of Jody Breeze, Big Gee and Duke. Block later added Young Jeezy to round out the group, and a month later they were signed to Bad Boy South. Jody, the youngest member of the group, was able to exercise his writing ability on the album including the anthem “Dem Boyz,” which skyrocketed to the top of the Billboard charts in 2005.
With the success of Boyz N Da Hood on Block Entertainment Jody has established his credibility as a songwriter. He even has three credits on P. Diddy’s album Press Play including the first single “Talk to Me” featuring Nicole Scherzinger.
Jody Breeze has been signed to two major deals and is now a free agent ready for the moment that he can finally prove his true relevancy as a solo artist. If the saying “the third time’s the charm” is true, Jody Breeze is in the exact position he’s supposed to be in.
