James E. Anderson better known J-Flexx is a former artist/producer of Death Row Records.

J-Flexx spent several years ghost writing lyrics for Dr. Dre during his tenure at Death Row Records. The first song he co-wrote in that collaboration, "Natural Born Killaz," became a Top 40 hit for Dre and Ice Cube in 1994. J-Flexx's success continued when he wrote lyrics for Dre's part in "California Love," a duet with Tupac Shakur. J-Flexx also co-produced "Keep Their Heads Ringin," the first single from Ice Cube's soundtrack Friday (which ultimately sold over 2 million units). He followed that success with "Been There, Done That," a single released from Dr. Dre presents the Aftermath.

He has also been involved with Shaquille O'Neal's nonprofit outreach organization for the last five years, hosting songwriting workshops and performing at Shaqtacular, a mega-entertainment fundraising extravaganza that supported community-oriented programs to serve youth.

On December 5, 2007, it was revealed that For The People Entertainment would be releasing "Stayin' Alive," a collection of many unreleased songs by J-Flexx from his time on Death Row Records. This album is confirmed to feature guest spots from Danny Boy, Sam Sneed, and Barney Ruble. It is also rumored that other guest artists, including Dr. Dre, will appear.
