Jakk Da Rhymer, whose real name is Jahkari Jack, is a rapper hailing from Philadelphia, PA. He is best known as a member and co-founder of the rap collective Dark Chip Syndicate.

Before his involvement with Dark Chip Syndicate, Jakk Da Rhymer was a prominent member of the rap collective Pro Era.

Together, they released a mixtape titled The Yellow Tape in 2010. However, they parted ways shortly after the release, changing their names once again to Jakk The Rhymer and Capital STEEZ.
