Where Are They Now? One Hit Wonders

J-Kwon

Counting can be so hard sometimes, right?  But with a heavy cadence, and an ode to underage drinking, you too can learn to count almost to ten, and then back down.

J-Kwon, who was signed to the S0-So Def label, and was from St. Louis, MO was a teen when he popped into the mainstream consciousness.  After the popularity of “Tipsy,” he went on to release Hood Hop, which was big in the STL, but didn’t seem to take off as well in other areas.

He took a break from music, and at one point in time his label considered him missing, but he let the public know that he was just taking a break.

After that break he had a feud that resulted in the release of the diss track

“Pushing the Odds,” aimed at Odd Future and Pusha T.  “Tipsy” also had a rebirth when it was put in the trailer for the film Project X, which probably made it easier for him to appear at the So-So Def 20th anniversary party to perform the track.
