Releases:[Life on Life] [The seasoning]
Info:Jason Watson from St. Louis, Missouri is rapper Json. His motivation as an artist is to please the Lord and to be a servant in the Kingdom of God. He has been rapping for the Lord since 2004, but Json already rapped before he got saved.

Loss
One of the most impacting events in his young life was the loss of his father which left his mother to raise him alone. Though Json’s mother loved him deeply her addiction to drugs affected their relationship and led Json to look for guidance in the streets.

Drugs
Throughout his adolescence and teenage years Json was exposed to the drugs and violence that are so common to many urban areas. He also indulged in and abused a lot of these drugs including, heroin, marijuana, and alcohol. At 15 Jason experienced the loss of his best friend Gaylon, and the pain of this event sent his life into a downward spiral. By the age of 16 Jason had been kicked out of school, served jail time, and become a member of a local gang. Being fully immersed in this lifestyle he couldn’t imagine life no other way. At 18 Jason caught a drug case that left him incarcerated for several months and this is when God began to deal with his heart.

The Healing
Once Jason was released he did not immediately relinquish his old activities, but he understood that God was real and knew there was more in life than what he had been used to. Jason continued to experience everything that comes with a life that isn’t completely surrendered to Christ. At 19 he met LaWanda Childress. Through this relationship Jason would hear God’s call and then answer it. Neither Jason nor LaWanda knew at the time that this was God’s providence because later they would both surrender their lives to Christ and join in Holy Matrimony.

New Label
Json explains his signing to Lamp Mode Recordings instead of Reach records in November 2008: "The Lord just did not allow it to come together. Its funny though because in my mind it was only right that I would sign with Reach. I thought it was just a matter of time. No matter what we just could not get it to fit, whether it was time or convo, it just did not come together. With Lampmode though it seemed like everything I thought was being rocked. Now also don't get it twisted, Lampmode may not be nationally experienced but I notice how these brothers have stewarded well what the Lord has provided them with."

Albums
His debut album "The seasoning" got released in 2005. His sophomore album "Life on Life" came out in 2008.
