Cadillac Don & J-Money
Friends Cadillac Don (born Donald Sharp) and J-Money (born Tiyon Rogers) grew up in Crawford, MS listening to blues and R&B, but soon were drawn to the more aggressive nature of rap. Both attended college on baseball scholarships, but an injury sidelined J-Money from trying out for the pros, while Cadillac Don decided to take a job teaching high-school art. However, both continued to rap on the side, and eventually, after meeting local producer Big Fruit, decided to form a duo. Their song "Peanut Butter & Jelly," caught the attention of Asylum Records (a Warner imprint), who signed Cadillac Don & J-Money to a distribution deal in 2006 as their single continued to gain radio play. ~ Marisa Brown, All Music Guide
