IV League

Jreillah P was born and raised in the Bay Area by her mother, father, and endlessly growing Filipino family. This full blooded Filipina was the youngest and fell in love with the art at different points of her life. Jreillah, with a passion to become an attorney since childhood, began singing as a little girl. She always had a love for R&B and she would fall asleep to late nights on 106 KMEL, but discovered a new love for hip hop. With a growing mix from Aaliyah and Ashanti to Nas, Common, and Felt, her passions began to intertwine into her high school years. This triple threat came across her love for spoken word during her Junior year of high school when her Social Justice Academy teachers asked her to free write about her upbringing. Around the same time, she ended up performing "Faces in the Hall" by Gym Class Hereos for an assignment. The silence in the room from listening ears gave her a glimpse of the power behind story telling, the appreciation behind free flowing words, and the respect given only to those who are willing to come from the heart. She competed in a few Youth Speaks competitions and was Co-Captain of the San Leandro High team that won the First Youth Speaks’ Unified District Poetry Slam. Putting her art on the back burner, she eventually graduated from UC Berkeley with a Major in Legal Studies and a Minor in Ethnic Studies. Several months after graduation, she came across a Hip-Hop concert through Eventbrite which featured Lyrical Opposition's IV League. Upon realizing they were performing under God’s anointing, she approached them afterwards as a shot in the dark. Soon enough, she became inducted into Lyrical Opposition. Although only dabbling a bit in rap prior, Jreillah really found her talent in rap through Lyrical Opposition. Jreillah P, who is still aspiring to become a criminal defense attorney, continues to speak and perform with Lyrical Opposition under God’s will and only He knows what’s in store for her next.
