Juelz Santana

Juelz Santana is an American rapper born February 18, 1982. His stage name masks LaRon Louis James Sr., a figure who shaped mid-2000s hip-hop through guest appearances and collaborative hits. He rose to prominence as a member of the Diplomats (also known as Dipset), a now-defunct hip-hop collective. Two of his most recognizable credits came early: Cam'ron's 2002 singles "Oh Boy" and "Hey Ma", both peaking within the top five of the Billboard Hot 100. He later guest appeared on Chris Brown's 2005 single "Run It!", which topped the chart for five weeks and received triple platinum certification by the RIAA. As a lead artist, his breakout was the 2005 single "There It Go (The Whistle Song)", which peaked at number six on the chart and went platinum. His debut studio album, From Me to U (2003), and second album, What the Game's Been Missing! (2005), were both released by Def Jam Recordings and peaked within the Billboard 200's top ten. As part of Dipset, he released three albums, and with spin-off group Skull Gang, he released one album in 2009. His 2009 single "Back to the Crib" (featuring Chris Brown) was intended to lead his third album, Born to Lose, Built to Win, which remains unreleased. In December 2018, James was sentenced to 27 months in prison for carrying an unconcealed weapon at an airport and was released early on August 5, 2020, after serving 19 months. Born under Aquarius, his career reflects the sign's experimental and iconoclastic edge, unafraid to shift between collaborations and solo ventures. As a Life Path 4, he embodies a methodical builder's ethos—constructing credibility through steady features and album output.
