Miami Connection
As a proud product of Miami's Carol City and Liberty City, JT keeps South Florida's energy alive in her music, refusing commercial dilution to deliver authentic 'raw' rap rooted in her hometown.

JT has also launched a resource website to aid formerly incarcerated women reintegrating into society, drawing from her own experiences and aiming for deeper community involvement.
