Bio
Born and raised in Detroit, Jason Porter has a long and vast history in the music business. It all started back in '92, when Jason Porter (a troubled drug addict at the time) 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 92-97, "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 97, when Jason Porter became homeless and found himself living 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, Jason Porter debated an offer to move to California. Reluctantly, Jason left Mad Trauma in '97 for Cali to start a new project and pursue deals. New on the scene, Jason promoted day and night, which in turn earned him a strong fan base and hundreds of gigs. With the 2005 release of his highly anticipated solo album "Vengeance Is Mine", Jason Porter was back doing what he does best - sick Hip Hop with a dark edge. Early 2006 brought Jason a relapse into the drug world, leaving him struggling with his own demons and addictions. Always one to run away from his problems, Jason relocated to Phoenix, AZ. In June of 2008, he was featured on Psychopathic Record's "Tunnel Runners" album, which debuted at number 21 on the Billboard Rap Charts. After a short stint in Wolfpac on the Dark Lotus tour in the summer of 2008, he soon returned to Phoenix, where he currently resides, drifting from place to place. In his 19th year on the mic, Jason continues to push Hip Hop past the limits of bad taste. Pick up your copy of Jason Porter's latest album "Welcome to Porterville" featuring guest appearances from Cappadonna of Wu-Tang Clan, Wolfpac, Okwerdz, Killa C, Dead by Wednesday, Darkroom Familia and more, available now at PorterMart.com and CDBaby.com ! And be sure to keep a lookout for the new album "Fear and Loathing in Porterville' due out in 2011!
