Formerly dubbed Tenkamenin on the Gang Related soundtrack, this Dallas, Texas native signed on to Death Row after playing college basketball on scholarship. Some people call the heavily-tattooed Jevon Jones a Tupac-biter, but not only did Tupac himself meet and bless Tha Realest as a viable Death Row artist, but they really aren't that similar.

With a release planned for 2000, Tha Realest has become one of the Row's most bankable assets, gaining a relatively large following after his great showing on Chronic 2000.
