Jus Allah (born James Bostick) is a New Jersey rapper who made his debut on Jedi Mind Tricks second album Violent by Design in 2000. He is known for his dark and aggressive lyrics that are commonly Afro-centric. He heavily uses the rhyming technique known as multi-syllable rhyming, which is abundant in A History of Violence (album).

Leaving Jedi Mind Tricks

A short while after the release of Violent by Design, Jus Allah left amid uncertainty over JMT's new association with Babygrande Records. He then went on to start his solo career at rapper Virtuoso’s label, Omnipotent Records. He released a 12" single entitled White Nightmare on the label, the b-side track being Reign of the Lord. In 2005 he left Omnipotent Records, joined Babygrande, and dropped his first solo album, All Fates Have Changed. Jus Allah later stated in interviews he had never given his OK for the album to be released, and wasn't satisfied with some of the album's production but the album was released regardless. In early 2006 an album called Necronomicon was released featuring both Jus Allah and Boston rapper Bomshot as hip-hop duo The Devilz Rejects. Jus Allah stated that he had absolutely nothing to do with the album, and that he was not being paid for it. The new verses on the album were most likely just old, unreleased recordings from his prior label Omnipotent Records, where Bomshot was also an artist. To the further enrage of Jedi Mind Tricks, Jus Allah released a single with JMT nemesis iCON the Mic King entitled "Black Arts." Fans view this as Jus Allah's last quality studio performance. Jus Allah is currently working on his second album entitled The Colossus produced entirely by Sharkey. In 2007 Jus reunited with his former group Jedi Mind Tricks and released their first collaborative track in 5 years, titled "The Rebuilding".

Reunion with Jedi Mind Tricks

In an interview conducted in September 2007 on the Art of Rhyme website, Jus Allah announced that he has rejoined Jedi Mind Tricks.[1] In the interview he states that "I'm back in the group [and that] I'm focused on...putting out the next Jedi Mind Tricks album...a History of Violence." In addition, he says that he has rejoined Babygrande and that the entire "All Fates Have Changed" fiasco has been put in the past and was in large part a misunderstanding[2]. Babygrande will also be releasing Jus Allah's next solo album, The Colossus.
