The Jacka rose to fame in the ’90s as a member of Mob Fingaz. He dropped his debut studio LP back in 2001, and was frequently putting out music ever since. In addition to Mob Fingaz, the Left Coast street legend has worked with Freddie Gibbs, Game, E-40, Nipsey Hussle, Freeway, Currensy and many more. The Jacka may not be a household name in hip-hop culture, but he built a strong West Coast following with his consistent effort dropping gritty and authentic street anthems.
