Jason Jamal Jackson (born July 26, 1987), known by his stage name 03 Greedo,[2] is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer from the Watts neighborhood of the city of Los Angeles, California.

Prior to his father's death, he and his family lived in Los Angeles, near the Chester Washington Golf Course.

[10] In 2000, after a nomadic childhood - which included stops in St. Louis, Rural Kansas, Compton, and Sacramento - Jackson moved to the Jordan Downs Housing Projects in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles.

He worked various retail jobs and sold his own beats in anticipation of supporting his child – a daughter who was born after they turned 18 – and her mother.

When he was 19, he pled no contest to a pair of misdemeanor gun possession charges and served 10 months of a one year sentence.

[2] Jackson initially used the alias Greedy Giddy, under which he self-produced six mixtapes, including the Bipolar series, Everybody Weak, and Money, Powder, Regrets.

[2] His early career was heavily influenced by southern rap such as Lil Boosie, Jeezy, and Gucci Mane, as well as Phil Collins.

[11] Later in March, Greedo courted controversy by making disparaging remarks about deceased rapper Tupac Shakur in an interview with Billboard Magazine.

[13] Before turning himself into authorities, Jackson promised to make a vault of 30 albums; he then said he had finished over 3,000 songs before beginning his 20-year sentence.

[17] On February 4, 2022, Jackson released a new single titled "Pourin" featuring Mike Free and BlueBucksClan on Alamo Records via Sony Music Entertainment.

According to a police report, Potter County Sheriff deputies forced open his car's trunk after claiming to smell cannabis and found "four pounds of methamphetamine and two stolen pistols.
