At just 23 years old, Chicago???s J.R. Donato???born Demetrius Gordon, Jr.???already has more than nine years in the rap game under his belt. But this isn???t just nine years of hallway freestyles and playground ciphers: by the time he reached his twenties, J.R. had already been mentored by hometown hero Twista and signed by Wiz Khalifa to his Taylor Gang label. From swiping his dad???s Tupac CDs out of the family car to begging his grandma for a copy of Get Rich or Die Trying for Christmas, JR was surrounded by music at a young age in his hometown of Waukegan, just north of Chicago. Soon, he was determinedly handing out burned CDs of his own music to his classmates, recorded at his dad???s studio; finding his hard work left scattered on the ground by disinterested peers only fueled his ambitions. By 13, he???d already landed a local hit, ???500 Degrees,??? under the name Young JR. Not long after, JR caught the attention of Twista, Chicago???s first bonafide rap star. He joined the veteran on high school tours throughout Chicago, spreading his buzz from the North side and beyond and seeing his city from a whole new perspective.

JR's career began blossoming by his junior year when he found himself on tour with local legend Twista. Sure enough, the young MC soon crossed paths with Wiz Khalifa, one of his biggest inspirations. Wiz quickly became a mentor to JR, featuring him on his 2012 Cabin Fever 2 tape and signing him to his Taylor Gang label, where he remains the only Chicagoan of the crew. JR spent the next couple years touring with Wiz and the Gang on his Under the Influence of Music Tour, the opportunity of a lifetime for a Midwesterner still in his teens

JR built of that success this year, releasing his latest project Why So Serious?, out via LiveMixtapes. Inspired by Heath Ledger???s portrayal of The Joker in The Dark Knight, JR shares The Joker???s ability to live on the edge and laugh in the face of adversity. Packed with head-nodding, percussive flows, rhythmic hooks, and clever lyrical couplets, Why So Serious? is a level up for Donato, boasting the strongest bars and song craftsmanship of his career. The tape features appearances from Wiz, Sosamann, and Levi Carter. JR also contributed to TGOD VOl. 1, a collaborative mixtape released by Taylor Gang in October after they signed a label deal with Atlantic Records. JR appears on three songs on the tape, including the opener, his solo trap banger ???All Winter.??? But for a rapper with almost a decade of experience before he could legally drink, JR???s still a 22 year old who loves Chicago sports teams, can quote any episode of Martin by heart, and likes vibing out in peaceful scenarios???maybe under the influence of some psychedelics???where he doesn???t have to worry about the troubles that shade his hometown. ???That???s what we???re working hard for???to distance ourselves from as much negativity as we can,??? he emphasized. ???If I could smoke weed with everybody in the room and get them to feel like I???m feeling, that???s my idea of a good day.???
