Although born in the USA back around 1998, Jerome “J Emz” Misa was actually raised in the Mount Druitt suburb of Western Sydney, Australia, under the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The truth is he has Soamoan heritage too, which is just part of why he was able to deeply connect with fellow local Morman Pacific Islanders Celly, Lekks, and Spenny while they were mere kids. Though little did he know they would soon develop a real brotherhood, including his own younger brother YP, only for them to end up evolving into a drill rap, hip-hop fivesome called OneFour.
But alas, as carefully explored in Netflix’s ‘ONEFOUR: Against all Odds,’ their professional journey has not been easy in any way, shape, or form due to their alleged past associations with local gangs. “Everyone had their Rambos ready and their blades and sh*t” when we were younger, under-15 national rugby league player J Emz candidly said in the documentary original. “But we’ve always seen it as a family from the jump. So when [the media/officials] labeled us a gang, we already knew how they were trying to portray us. We’ve always had run-ins with the police. They just look at us like criminals.”
