“There’s a difference between swagger and charisma. Swagger can be acquired, but charisma is something embedded in your DNA,” says the Raleigh, NC born MCee Madison Jay. “I possess a sharp, articulate flow blended with a shitload of charisma my nigga, I think I’m quite marketable.” Choice words for a rookie still looking for his break.
Born Dionté Gambrell, to young parents in North Carolina, Madison never really had a musical influences around him except the musical tunes he’s would hear in his families homes. “I was an R&B head ‘til I was 13 and then got into hip-hop music heavy.” Madison studied everything with hip-hop knowledge, from album booklets, and magazines, to biographies, all of which shaped his present future.
In 2002, Madison joined his Athens Drive High School colleagues, and together they formed the group HeadHuntaz, and began releasing hand pressed CD’s around school.
