Jamal grew up in a part of Brooklyn called Lafayette Gardens; from his teen years, he started rapping under the name Gravy, but got into the spotlight in 2006, when he released his first mixtape, entitled “Who Shot Mayor Goonberg? Polotics As Usual Vol.1”. The same year he released two more mixtapes “Mayor Goonberg Visits Africa” and “The Come Up Mixtape”, which sales certainly increased his net worth. A year later, his fourth mixtape came out, entitled “N.Y. Target”, and in 2009 his last mixtape was released “Notorious Gravy”, which also added to his net worth.
However, he made even bigger success as an actor, when he was selected to play the role of Christopher Wallace, aka Notorious B.I.G in the film “Notorious” (2009), and he will also repeat his role in the film “All Eyez on Me” (2017), which chronicles the life of one more legendary rapper, Tupac Shakur. His net worth is likely to grow considerably.
To speak further of his career as an actor, he appeared in the film “Dice City” (2013), and in 2015 he had two successful projects – “730” starring Stan J. Adams and Dionicio Chambers, and “Battle Scars” with such stars as Fairuza Balk, Heather McCombs and Zane Holtz. Most recently, he appeared in “The Return” (2016), and “Barbershop: The Next Cut” as Marquis, alongside Ice Cube, Regina Hall and Anthony Anderson among others, all of which contributed to his rising net worth.
Regarding his personal life, Jamal has a daughter, however, neither her age nor the name of her mother are known in the media. Regardless, he seems quite devoted to her, as he took time off from “the scene” to spend more time with her.
Back in 2006, Jamal was shot near radio station Hot 97, and immediately after the event he entered the station, as he had scheduled interviews; his wounds were not severe. Unfortunately, his music was banned from the station, due to the policy which dictates that rappers who have been involved in any altercation will be banned from the station.
