Bio
Poppa Joe spent almost his entire youth incarcerated searching for his
place in life. After many ups and downs, Poppa Joe harnessed his passion to
help the misguided youth by building a recording studio, where he and they
could express themselves. His focus was on up and coming artists, from the
streets of the Treasure Valley, and chose those whom desired to make music
to find relief from life's toils and snares. He formulated a pattern for
success by founding a locally owned record label, Hustle Hard Full Time
Records. His reasoning for the title, "the struggle to survive and make a
change in this world never stops".
It was only after many disappointments Poppa Joe began to focus his energy
into his own music. He started recording March of 2009. Poppa Joe's first
project, "I Am Legendary", was strictly a promotional tool used to
establish himself as an artist as well as an engineer. Six months later,
the 29 track promo disc, "I Am Legendary" was released August 21st, 2009.
Poppa Joe is currently in the studio working on a new project.
