J Woo: Chicago Hustle, God’s Grace & a Beer in Hand | Under The Stands Podcast

On this episode of Under The Stands w/ Kevin Mitchell, we sit down with J Woo, a Chicago-born rapper with one of the most unbelievable and inspiring journeys in the industry today.

J Woo’s path is not the typical “rapper blows up overnight” story. He’s lived through the darkest lows and climbed his way to the brightest highs — from sleeping in dumpsters in San Diego while chasing his dreams, to recently collaborating with Eminem, one of the greatest rappers alive.

Through every twist, turn, hardship, and blessing, J Woo says one thing is constant:
“All glory to God.”

A man of deep faith who’s also not afraid to crack a beer (or 12), J Woo brings humor, honesty, and authenticity everywhere he goes. His story is raw, real, and fueled by relentless determination.

🎙️ In this conversation, they dive into:

- Growing up in Chicago & finding his voice in hip hop

- How homelessness in San Diego pushed him to keep going

- The surreal moment that led to his collaboration with Eminem

- Faith, gratitude & divine timing in his music career

- His love for life, laughter, beer, and beating the odds

- Why quitting was never an option

- What’s next for J Woo in 2026

This is an episode for anyone who believes in resilience, purpose, and the wild journeys artists take to make it.
