History[]
Background[]
Jayque grew up on San Quentin Avenue in Bohan, Liberty City where he became friends with several members of the E.S. Front Yard Ballas who gave him the name Ghost, because he always got away with crimes without a trace of him being there. At such a young age of 11, it intrigued The Balla set. Enough to catch the attention of the set's leader, OG Tyson. Jayque did small, odd jobs for him, and he earned the set's trust. Eventually this would help him obtain a high status in the gang known as a "Notorious Yardie." Somewhere between 2012 and 2014, during his teenage years, he got into some legal trouble and needed to change his location. Jayque packed his bags in one night and made his way to the city of Los Santos, SA. going by the name "Ghost".
Ghost had an uncle and cousin who resided in San Andreas. So, he wasn't completely alone. He would go to school, during the day and work at his uncle's car shop in the evenings alongside his cousin. Ghost's cousin was a known member of The Rollin 45 Neighborhood Ballas. After a robbery gone wrong, Ghost did a 4-year prison stint. During his time in prison, Ghost's cousin died. This would eventually lead Ghost to become a high-ranking member of The Rollin 45 Neighborhood Ballas. In the spring of 2019, under the Rollin card, Ghost and Kingpin founded The Rollin Perro Neighborhood Ballas.
Music[]
Downfall and Disappearance[]
After 4 years in prison, Ghost cousin passed away, which lead him down a dark road of gang violence and malice. However, whenever he could, he would write music in his book as he experienced hardships in Los Santos.
The Beginning[]
During his time in prison, ghost met a man known as "Bishop", who knew his cousin due to affiliation. This man ended up being the founder and leader of The Rollin 45 NH Ballas. During his time in Bolingbroke Penitentiary, he would write music and freestyle to Bishop and several Balla member from all over. He inadvertently gained a reputation for being a good rapper. Ghost didn't really take music seriously; it was just a hobby he would do while chilling with the homie on Brogue or while linking up with the Ballas on Grove. One day after a set meeting. Bishop pulled Ghost to the side, sparked up a joint and began asking Ghost multiple questions about how he felt about music.
Ghost didn't show too much enthusiasm, but was interesting in why Bishop of all people, would want to know such an answer. Bishop was usually to himself unless business was to be handled, so it through him off a bit. Bishop went on to tell Ghost he wanted to start a Rap label. Asked Ghost if he would be interested in making music full time. They spoke for hours and by the end; Bishop and Ghost were already making plans for the first single.
Album Reception[]
In the fall of 2019, Ghost released his first single, "Balla Anthem." which was received positively. Reaching 70,000 streams in total its first month out. This led to the release of Balla Ghost's debut album "Purpsyde" released in the spring of 2020 selling over 100,000+ streams in its first month.
