Jae Millz

By now you know the story: hot-shot NYC rapper earns his peers' respect, garners critical drools, secures a major label deal and then, unceremoniously, falls off the map and is relegated to the mixtape circuit. Warner signed Millz in 2003, shortly following a brief appearance by the rapper on TV show Making Da Band, but things turned sour and the rapper bounced to Universal in 2004. Since then, he's sat in waiting like Joseph K, churning out one mixtape after the other, never catching a hot single. And there he's stayed, in the dark of his Universal asylum, hoping that some dude in a suit will figure out how to market him alongside the Laffy Taffy set.
