Serius Jones is making some serious noise in this music industry. New Jersey born, Jones is ready to unleash his unique sound to the world. After twelve consecutive victories, Jones captured The Fight Klub’s AllHipHop.com Battle Championship and cash purse by defeating the reigning Fight Klub champ. Jones inked a deal with D.T.P/Def Jam. With the assistance of Grammy Award winning recording artist and founder of DTP, Ludacris along with executives Chaka Zulu and Jeff Dixon. DTP Records all seemed well until Serius noticed he wasn’t getting the attention he deserved. Serius is independent right now,but got a lot of labels coming to the table and making offers. He also shot a short film called Life is Serius, that’s coming soon to a hood near you. If you wanna know more about serius check out his website http://www.getserius.com/ . It Staaand’s Out!
By now we should all know Freeway. 3 classic albums, super collabo’s, incredible features, and crazy raw lyrics. Former Roc-a-fella/Def Jam artist, and rumor has it he’s currently sign to Cash Money/Universal. Mean while he just dropped a new project with super producer Jake One. The album is called The Stimulus Package. It’s strictly hip hop, “Free” sounds hungry as ever. On this album, he rips beats consistently. “Jake One’s” production speaks for it self. The album is full of hard kicks, snares, and soul samples.
The Stimulus Package comes housed in a gigantic money clip– the liner notes on the backs of gigantic dollar bills with the faces of Freeway and Jake One on them, the CD itself in a cardboard wallet along with a download card for the instrumental version. Great creativity! Some say it’s the hottest album cover ever ! I think it’s pretty dope. You be the judge? Staaand Out!
This post right here is definitley inspirational. Lyor Cohen played a very huge part in the success of Def Jam. Has worked with, and signed some of the biggest acts in music history. He also correct me if i’m wrong is one of the big bosses at Warner Brothers. Dame Dash also mentioned in an interview,that he could possibly be the reason for the rocafella break up? Hey who knows? In this post Lyor breaks down the definition of artist developement. Why it is important, and why labels don’t have the patience for it any more. True story.
