In the small town of Trenton, between major cities such as Philly & New York, it is hard to stand out to the rest of the world, especially when it comes to music. But the town’s long wait is suddenly coming to an abrupt end, with the rise of a hip-hop marvel known as Bub Luv.
Born Jabbar Wair as a twin in 1988 to a mother of Puerto Rican decent and a father of Jamaican descent, Bub was born and raised in Trenton, NJ. Having lived in multiple parts of Trenton, his family settled in the Wilbur Section area where he attended Trenton Central High School, and soon earned the nickname Bub Luv.
His family nicknamed him Bubbie as a child, but his peers called him Bub Luv because he was such a lady’s man. He has a way with words that can grab anyone’s attention, even in a town where kids often grow up tremendously fast. In Bub’s rhymes he often shares his experiences with different females, and his understanding of them. Influenced by Big Pun, Nas, and Jay-Z, he first started to dabble into rap at the age of 18 with childhood friend Victor “Young Vic” Williams & younger brother Yusef “Mush Mack” Acosta. The Trio called themselves PAK Gang. They made music for fun, but suddenly decided to take their own paths as they got more serious.
Soon after the split Bub came across an old acquaintance, Craig “CJ” Burnett, who also rapped for fun, but was starting to venture into other things. After a discussion Bub, had decided to let CJ manage him despite inexperience. They also decided that their music will be 100% true, since then the two have been on a mission to take Bub Luv straight to the top.
