Damn I miss J-Zone, a one of a kind artist. Saw him perform in Long Beach way back in the day with J-Ro and Tash, met him briefly after the show too. Man his beats were bananas. Awol One s**t I saw him perform back in the day too at Project Blowed. Him and LMNO were there. You taking me back with this post. He’s slowly erasing his J-Zone moniker. Recently changed his Instagram handle from jzonedontig to jaymumfordmusic. Took his hip hop catalog off of Spotify too. But he stays grinding. He’s got some dope funk stuff and keeps his IG feed stocked with random break beats he’s learning or creating. |

i noticed that, just play whatever album and he consistently does his thing from start to finish. dont have any shapeshifters material yet. I just played first few tracks of war of art and I gotta tap out for now. all his tracks across albums blend in and dont stand out to me. not feeling the voice and the style. i'll try again down the road, i had no awol before this dump and now i have plenty material. i hated on myka 9 for years (mostly to give you s**t) before i took a closer listen and gave him any kind of credit haha. myka 9 blows awol away lol im on that east coast s**t you look down on can't help it lol Well yeah, of course M9 blows AO away. But like I said Awol has his lane and runs it pretty well. I agree and said from the start he has a lot of material that can probably get repetitive but the same can be said for maybe 90% of the artists out there. If you see him live or someday get what his deal is, maybe you'll at least appreciate it but all good if not. His stuff is definitely not what I would consider universal masterpieces that everyone has to acknowledge as greatness. I personally find him entertaining and talented when I listen to him and find his stuff a nice refreshing change from all the cookie cutter rappers out there but it's also not my goto, most coveted material. As for me looking down on east coast? That is simply not true and you couldn't really think that if you've seen my posts over the decades or whatever it's been since most of us have been on these forums. I simply put it down how I see it so it's all just my opinions based on facts and my own experience. Since I've spent a lot of time deep in the game, know a lot of the artists and seen the behind the scenes shenangins, those details also influence my opinions. I don't care what coast, country or whatever someone is from as long as they got skills, I give them props. And of course, like you say, there is a lot of s**t talking and just busting going on so yeah, we're all just here talking s**t about a culture we all seem to have love for. so what you're saying is east coast is the best coast lol jk but seriously, good to pick your brain a little bit since im not as knowledgeable about some of the crews |

i remember Awaken getting praise when it came out. listened to it recently, it was aight.. i saw a cover of a champagne konny release looking like a fake drake I guess that explains it lol damn this cover reminds me of some goodnight moon where the wild things are s**t lol Cover is dope AF The color scheme and style speaks directly to me And that Champagne Konny move was WILD corny that cover art concept on the cd and record single were the best. i was obsessed with his style on the mic too and he had a good story. got him self kicked out the brown bag all stars and everything. not a smart move imo. j57 is still doin dope stuff! |

I am glad I own all his previous hip hop releases. I definitely have mad respect for him as an artist/musician. |

I posted those tour cds in a previous dump, skipped around them but the tracks were mostly throwaways and not banging
Remember that guy that paid Vinnie for a verse only for vinnie to immediately drop a mixtape with the verse and the guy cut out of it lol his name was billions or something like that
Then that grant dude who did a music video vaping with kool g
New dump coming in a day or 2
