Jennifer Velarde better know as "JV" is a Mexican-American rap artist from Downey, California. Signed to Thump Records in 1993, her first album "Nayba'Hood Queen" was released the same year and it made her name pretty popular all over California, New Mexico, Arizona and other surrounding states. She stayed with Thump Records for one more album, "It Gets No Reala". 　　The two singles released from the album, the title song and "Back to Da Hood of Things" didn't make any impact on the charts at all. 　　In 1996, JV released her sophomore album, "It Gets No Reala," but due to lack of promotion from Thump Records, the album flopped and then JV left the record label. 　　In 2001, JV's compliation album, "Queen with The Most Hits" was released on EastSide Records, but didn't chart at all. 　　After leaving Thump Records, JV changed her name to "J-Bug" and in 2002, she released her third album, "Lady Bug" on Cash Flow Records, but it failed to make the charts at all. 　　Nothing much was heard from JV until late 2008, when she appeared as a guest MC on Lady Synful's mixtape, "The Resurection." 　　Now living in Whittier, California, JV appears to still be active in the music biz and continues to record new material.
