Plus of course yours truly 'Just paraDOX', rapping for the first time since 2003 when I gave up rapping for a season and moved more into promotion, planning, hosting events, running the JEM Stone Promotions, the DFW Hip Hop Alliance and Faze1 First Fridays. I then moved into being the marketing and promotions Manager for Much Luvv Records and being the media coordinator for the Texas Holy Hip Hop Achievement Awards which is going national in 2008.

Here is the cd cover for the mixtape I am currently working on.

This will be my first solo project as a mixtape to reintroduce the world to Just paraDOX, the new reformed and rearmed and reenergized, showing a diversity of rap styles and writing ability so people can get a little taste of what’s to come and how diverse I am as an individual, so when I start working on my first solo album people will already have a feaver for the flavor. I am a very diverse and eclectic individual and I think on this mixtape you will see some of that with a dance hall track, a rock track, crunk, east coast, underground and diversity of hip hop styles and raps. In the meantime I decided to put out a mixtape to see if cats where feeling me and if I should continue to work on a full length album. And it’s been awesome to see the people who have said they would like to be involved it really moves me to know that people would be involved with a project with me and believe in me. Thank you.

The content of the mixtape is current world events (war on terror, Isreal & the middle east conflict, inner city economics and the dumbing down & drugging up of society), the positive power of speech to persued others, ending beef in hip hop, not returning violence with violence (returning to the principles of MLK Jr), hip hop dying so we can bring a rap renaissance toward more positive and socially relevant content.

About Me. Jeramiah Giehl is Just paraDOX also known as DJ XDC was born on March 4th, 1976 in Des Moines, Iowa, but grew up in Oceanside, California. He works for Much Luvv Records and the National Holy Hip Hop Achievement Awards (formerly Texas Holy Hip Hop Achievement Award Show).

Who I am. I'm a hip hop artist, producer, promoter, poet, songwritter, graphic artist and artist. I'm a conscious artist that does focus on the mainstream market. I've always really been feelin the whole east coast / underground vibe. In the words of Nas 'You can hate now but I won't stop now.' I keep it real, relevant and deep with my lyrics. I am a very driven person who makes to make an impact with my life and musical content.

What does my name mean? paradox:
1 : a tenet contrary to received opinion
2 a : a statement that is seemingly contradictory or opposed to common sense and yet is perhaps true

My first experiences with hip hop occurred in elementary school {back in 85} watching kids break dance on card board boxes. Initially I fell in love with Hip Hop developing a love for east coast crews like; BDP, Erik B & Rakem, EPMD, 3rd Base, Black Sheep, Onyx, Wutang Clan, Erick Sermon, Kieth Murray, Gang Starr, Redhead Kingpin & The FBI, DMX> I also started liking some some west coast cats like; NWA, E40, Warren G, DPG, X'Zibit, Dr Dre, Snoop and Bone Thugz & Harmony. Since I have returned to my passion I have been influenced by such artists as; Souljahz, Raiderz of the Lost, Dj Maj, KJ52, Grits, 4th Avenue Jones, La Symphony, Deepspace 5, Tunnel Rats, Future Shock, The Yunion, Flavor Alliance, Much Luvv Records, Enock, Nuwine, Nas, Eminem, El-P, Common, Black Star, Jurassic 5, Black Eyed Peas, Manafest and Mars Ill.

I have always had a passion for poetic rhythmic expression and a desire to perform since the first time he heard hip hop music. I never acted upon this desire other than talking to a few friends about it, writing lyrics, rapping in the shower and doing the occasional Karoake to Kris Kross.

My first solo hip hop performance was in October of 2002 at a Mars Music in Dallas at an open mic competition put on by CMT. I performed a song he wrote titled Down on the Ground Again. It was a song I had written the night before to a beat I remixed of Mary J Blige/Method Man song 'your all I need.' I didn't win because most of the artist who performed were rock or country and the show was put on by CMT. However I did place well, receiving recognition and praise for my music and writing abilities.

Not long after really getting back into writing Hip Hop again I started traveling around performing in community centers, detention centers, clubs, apartment complexes and to homeless people on the streets. With the crew I was with I supervised an independent CD release titled the Fired Up Ep. I also was able to promote the group so that we had the opportunity to perform at Club 36:9, The Door Club, Insomnia Coffee House and competed in a battle of the bands on a Cable TV Show in which we received second place for a song I wrote and performed.

When I gave up rapping in 2003 for a season I moved more into promotion, planning, hosting events, running the JEM Stone Promotions, the DFW Hip Hop Alliance and Faze1 First Fridays. I then moved into being the marketing and promotions Manager for Much Luvv Records and being the media coordinator for the Texas Hip Hop Award Show soon to be national in 2008.

My mission is to represent Christ to the masses through the Hip-Hop Culture, concerts and music outreaches. paraDOX is a diverse artist with a broadband of musical influences who has passion for street ministry and impacting Hip Hop culture combining Hip Hop Praise with Socially Conscious Lyrics.

I am a Conscious Hip Hop artist based in Dallas Texas with Passion for reaching problem youth through Hip Hop culture and mentorship through concerts, block parties, school assemblies, homeless outreaches, prison outreaches, Clubs and traveling doing outreach weekends. I do shows in clubs, community centers, camps, children's homes, outdoor events, after school clubs, parks, homeless centers, recreation centers, schools, churches and any other type event you would like to book me for.
