JetNoiseCardi was born LeCardi Johnson on August 17, 1987 in Norfolk, VA. Raised in Suffolk, Virginia in the neighborhood of Lake Kennedy, Cardi began rapping at the age of 11. Influenced heavily by his cousin, Knotty of Da Havnots, he began to craft his own concepts and songs. At the age of 14 Cardi began making beats with his best friend Dwayne Eason. Together the group began producing for local artist such as Da Havnots and Game Ova under the name NV. With a plethora of beats and not enough artists to rap over them, Cardi to matters into his own hands and began working on his first project entitled Grand Opening. Following Grand Opening NV split paths and began working separately. By age 16 Cardi was introduced to Dre (Boardroom Co-CEO) and the two began working on a follow up project to Grand Opening entitled IMJUSME. Creating a buzz off of IMJUSME, Cardi received recognition from Producer JB Eazy, AZ’s Quiet Money record label, and Suffolk hometown legends The Hoffla Boyz. He continued to push his music by entering several beat battles all while perfecting his rhyme scheme.
JetnoiseCardi has recently released his mixtape entitled “Snappage Vol 1” and has already begun work on his highly anticipated follow up mixtape "Snappage Vol. 2-Route 13" including producers such as Sap Da Beat Man, Jahlil Beats, Tone Beats, Ecomog, and Music 4 Food. He has performed at several venues and is known to bring an incredible energy to the stage. Known as a lyrical menace with an incredibly charismatic delivery, Cardi is sure to capture the attention of any audience.
