THE JETT
Sometimes you have to want to be better in order to progress in life, and that’s the outlook Ronald “The
Jett” Hart has had on his life. Born and raised in Highland Hills in the Oak Cliff sector of Dallas, Texas,
his neighborhood played a major role in his upbringing. The youngest of four and considered an
accident, Jett became a real life “product of his environment”. Both of Jett’s parents were addicts, so of
course the drugs were more of a priority then raising their children. At the very young age of 14, Jett’s
sister had now become a mother. Only having a 10 year distance between the two Jett also had other
influencers in his life as he ran with and looked up to the older guys in his hood. For someone even at
birth having all odds against them Jett always seemed to want better for himself. He attended and got
accepted to all Magnet schools. With this higher chance of success, it seemed as though he would still
continue to have road blocks to conquer. Because Jett went to school in a different part of town, there
were always confrontations with him and other children. Jett at times would have to defend himself
from a group of people who wanted to cause him harm because he was from Highland Hills, but in
South Dallas or West Dallas. With Jett not being one to shy away from confrontation, this would be a
trend that would continue for many years. Through all the trouble that was coming his way Jett tried to
remain focus on his football.
It wasn’t until October 2000 while attending Skyline High School that he even considered rapping. While
participating in freestyle battles outside of the school cafeteria, Jett realized that he had a talent greater
than football. “I could just freestyle real good, no pen, paper, just a mind that moved fast. Everyone
would just wait on me to get to school so I could rap. My punch lines were crazy.” Jett would have the
opportunity to freestyle in competitions alongside Dallas Icons Tum Tum, Fat B, and many more. After
barely graduating from school due to, outside entities distracting the focus of his curriculum Jett ran
into more problems that would have a great influence on the next steps that he took in his life. Jett’s
friend had been charged with a murder case, and he had also found out that he had twins on the way.
Now stuck in a mental state of depression confused about his life, he decided to take a drive, as he was
driving his car broke down. Jett got out and began to walk and ran into a Navy recruiter and decided to
check it out, 40 days later Jett was off to Virginia. Rap dreams were put on hold as he went on a four
year hiatus to the military, but instead of giving up on them, he grew lyrically. With the opportunity to
travel to different coasts and hear different styles of rap, the challenge to be better grew. Jett was able
to creatively put his real life experiences into punch lines and metaphors, broadening the horizons of the
Texas rap scene.
In a time where new rappers in Dallas all seemed to be on the same wavelength, Jett found and created
his own lane. Jett has just released a new mixtape called, “Flight School 101” hosted by DJ Klassik.
This mixtape has taken off in a way never expected. The new single “Leeggoo” has made this possible
with a word that has really become popular in Dallas. “I am continuing to brand myself”, everything I
do and say will stick to people, to multiple aliases including, Two T’s and The Jett Show, he has really
made a niche for himself. It has been a 10 year growth process and with his solo debut “The Jett Show”
prepared and ready, the Dallas rap scene is about to “take flight”!!!!! Two T’s!!! Leegggoooo!!!!!
