Bio: Born Earl Thomas, E&J (The Crisis) is from Brownsville, Brooklyn where he grew up with aspirations to play D1 basketball. He always had a love and passion for music. So, when his sports dreams were shattered by a serious knee injury in his first semester in college, he turned to writing. Over time, he realized that expressing his thoughts over instrumentals with his smooth flow was a great stress reliever. This is why ever since 2003, he names music as his therapy to lifes tribulations. The name E&J was given to him many years before that so this is not a stage name. And E&J is not alone in his struggle to the top. He, over the years, put together an all star cast of lyrical beasts. The only problem is, everybody is spread out across the east coast. So whenever the big money comes in, E&J plans to bring it all together; as the Good Money Front Office.
