After six years in the game, JD Era has become a staple artist in Toronto before and after becoming the first artist signed to Wu-Tang Clan’s Raewkon’s ICE H20 Canadian-based label. His innovative methods have helped him expand his fan base well beyond the border and overseas. With millions of views on YouTube, blogs, and an overall steady online following, this Toronto artist is truly proving that he is one of Canada’s best lyricists and ghost writers. Since being named Champion at the Marc Ecko Freestyle Competition, Era has performed alongside artists like Nas, GZA, Kardinal Offishall, Drake, Method Man, Red Man, Raekwon, Rick Ross, Busta Rhymes, Gucci Mane, The Clipse, Mac Miller, Termanology, Curren$y and Freddie Gibbs. He was nominated for two DJ Stylus Awards and took home the hardware for Best Rap at the Toronto Independent Music Awards. His freestyle prowess was highlighted once again when he was crowned the winner of the TAG Records’ Survival of The Freshest Competition. In addition, his late summer street release, Coming to America was nominated as Best Mixtape for Flow 93.5’s Real Frequency Award. With five solid mixtape albums under his belt, JD Era’s catalogue continues to grow.
