The Chosen One
Judge won “The Chosen One” rap competition, beating out over 100 other local artists. This caught the attention of NBA superstar, Amar'e Stoudemire, who ultimately signed him to his label, Hypocalypto Records. Judge followed up by releasing his first mix tape under the label called “The Chosen One." Amar'e Stoudemire and DJ Quote hosted the project. While promoting the mix tape, Judge performed with a number of mainstream artists including Young Jeezy, 2 Chainz, YG, Rick Ross and Plies. He would go on to release a collaborative project with Phoenix artist, Vik Junior and a follow up solo record. His track “Stat and Melo”, a New York Knicks anthem, is still played in Madison Square Garden to this day.
