He later lived in the Chinquapin Parkway area of Northeast Baltimore where he went on to raise his family. James attended Hilton Elementary School and Hamilton Middle School and was a Northern High School graduate. He attended Morgan State University.

James was a club music legend. He established his title as club king early on, starting from house parties on Harford Road, to college parties, to the club scene. He became a part of multiple music labels/companies, including Unruly Records, Crooked Streetz Entertainment, Bmore Original, his own label Jimbo Records, and of course, Doo Dew Kidz with members Grant "Booman" Burley and Kenneth "KW Griff" Wilkens. In 1993, he released what would become one of his biggest club hits to date, "Watch Out for the Big Girl" which is known worldwide.

James was the light and life of any party. He was the protector, always making sure that everyone was taken care of. Known to always keep people laughing, James would often pull pranks, crack jokes, and tell funny stories. He was an influencer of music and fashion, regularly shopping for and showing up in the latest fashion. He was a savior, a provider, a protector, and a counselor to many.
