Haystak, real name Jason Winfree the huge white-boy repping Tennessee has "kept it real" in his music career. Not selling out and staying true to his roots & his Haystak's style. Haystak spent the first couple years of his life in Tennessee. Haystak was born in April 1979 in New York, this is where he would live this first couple years of his life. This is the same year The Sugar Hill Gang put out the sing Rapper's Delight, this first hot single in the hip hop world. Both Haystak's mother and dad were from New York. However, his dad had passed away. He had 3 step sisters, whose father was bad on drugs especially heroin. With all this tough times, Haystak's mother new it was time to move. They ended up moving to the Deep South...Nashville, Tennessee.
In Nashville, the rappers and thugs seemed to be the only people Haystak could relate to. With Haystak feeling this way, it would lead him into a world of drugs and crime. Selling drugs is how he would fund some of his studio time and help his family. Haystak grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. Haystak was motivated to get his family out of poverty, and he was going to do this through hip hop. Haystak was staying in a very small house in Nashville. He used his own music as a form of therapy. Haystak and his crew would go on to refer to themselves as the Crazy White Boys. CWB was found in 1999 in a small studio. Now days, CWB has supporters all across the nastion.
In 1995 Haystak walked into his first recording studio. He said "I want to record a demo." The engineer of the studio could tell what music genre Haystak was into by his clothing. The engineer laughed and said "White boys can't rap!" He had just lit a fire with Haystak. This one statement would go on to motivate Haystak in so many ways. During this time Haystak would be in trouble with the law day in and day out. It is said by AOL music that he was caught with cocaine and Valium at the young age of 15. For committing this crime he served a 2 year sentence.
In 1998 he joined the rap label, street flavor. Soon after joining this label Haystak put out his first CD called Mak Million. In 2001, he put out another CD called Car Fulla White Boys, this CD has became his most popular CD and has seen the must radio play. Car Fulla White Boys, we re-released after Haystak signed with the Koch Records.
