The Fantom of HipHop has arrived.

The Fantom, who infamously also goes by J.Scar, is a Haitian-American rapper, songwriter, record producer, director, writer, and actor from Brooklyn, NY. Best known for his notoriously soulful lyrics and persuasive anthems, The Fantom is preparing for the release of his debut EP, ‘Don’t Judge Me’ fully produced by one of New Jersey’s hottest producer’s, Fresh of Fresh Productionz, in fall of 2014. Born Jean Lodescar, Jr., in Brooklyn to Haitian parents and raised in Queens, J. Scar has always used lyrics to tell stories, expose truths, and, most importantly, inspire anyone who will listen. Although his talent for the microphone began at a young age, he at first only pursued it as a hobby for friends and family, while tirelessly attempting every job out there, from fireman to engineer. 

Still, The Fantom kept on writing, fleshing out his thoughts, hearing them take 
rhythmic shape in his head. His path was inevitable. Eventually, he had no choice but to acknowledge that his true calling was the stage, and when he did, he found that his experience in the workforce had left such an indelible image on him that it became the crux of his frustration in later writings and desire to promote change through his music. 

As an award-winning, Meisner-trained actor, J. Scar has performed lead roles in plays like A Raisin in the Sun, Antigone, and Romeo and Juliet. His resume also includes films and solo productions, most notably his 2010 portrayal of Toussaint Louverture, a former slave and the leader of the Haitian Revolution. 

The Fantom is also a poet. In fact, all of his songs start as poetry, a skill he honed when he ruptured his kneecap and had to spend an incredible amount of time either bedridden or undergoing physical therapy. During that period, he put about 40 poems to music. Since then, his work has landed him in the NY Daily News, the PIX11 Morning News, and countless newspapers, websites and indie blogs profiling his music, his mission, and his rise to recognition in a short span of time.

Where there are people ready for a change, J. Scar is always ready to perform. He is driven by a passion for the spoken word and a genuine yearning to leave an uplifting mark on the lives of those who need it most. For The Fantom, every song is an opportunity to reach new and eager audiences ready to listen to his words, move with his music, and respond to his message.

 So get going, get listening, and get Scar'd for Life.
