Usher’s Brother JLack Gets Publishing Deal with EMI
Written by HipHopRX Denise on December 7th, 2007 in Business, People - U.S., Hip Hop, Music News.

Usher’s younger brother, music producer JLack born James Lackey, 22 recently signed a deal with EMI Music Publishing. JLack is already making a name for himself with productions he has already done like “Get It Shawty” by Lloyd, “Be What It’s Gonna Be” by Christina Milian, “Love” by Ne-Yo and Usher’s “Singin In the Rain”.
JLack says he might put out a rap record in the future, but he really sees himself as a producer. He definitely has no aspirations of being a singer like Usher.
“JLack surprised me with his talent,” said Jonnetta Patton, Usher and JLack’s mother. “He began creating beats while Usher and I were on the road working. One day he played a beat for us and we both were shocked. He has grown as a producer and has determination and the work ethic to be named among the very successful producers one day. I’m his 1 fan.”
