His opening performance for <strong>Cash Money&#8217;s Jay Sean<\/strong> is tonight, March 25th and he is also flying back to Europe, April 10th to open for <strong>Mos Def<\/strong> at the Rockefeller Center in Norway Oslo City.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sullee J<\/strong> was born on March 25th, 1985 in Baltimore, Maryland.  He grew up in a <strong>Pakistani\/American culture<\/strong>.  He struggled with neglect,racism, multiplied mistakes, and heartaches. Sullee J moved to Chicago&#8217;s Stony Island area in 2004 where he was greatly influenced by the music scene.  On December 28th, 2005 Sullee J was in a life changing car accident that landed him in the hospital for over a month, and bedridden for a year.<\/p>\n<p>He now reflects, <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Before my accident I was always on the edge, didn&#8217;t care, would get into anything, and didnt care if I died right there. After it, I realized how much I had and how much of a change I needed to make. I realized that death wasn&#8217;t for me yet. I almost gave up before the accident and then something came into me. It felt like God put something in me, which now I know is my faith.  Thats what keeps everything at a positive level for me.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><object width=\"480\" height=\"385\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/bQUibrkPfFY&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/bQUibrkPfFY&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p><em>Visit his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/sulleejrapper\">Www.myspace.com\/sulleejrapper<\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<!--break--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sullee J has flown out to Chicago today.
