CD ALBUM COVER

The Intro:…The true intro began last year for me, last summer to be exact!, it was an early Sunday morning, I packed my bag and headed out to the luxury lounge called Lux on behalf of the director DJ Tivo.  He was shooting a video for Nino who was there on behalf of Sosa and M.V.B. Records, The shoot was about 8 hours long, and that’s when I met up and coming artist “Jayceon”, who happened to be there on behalf of Nino, his cousin. Although he was very modest that morning, as the day grew longer, It was clear to me even back than that he was very focused. We talked about his career as an artist, we also talked about real life events, and passed the time. Moving forward in just one year, I ran into him again at a really nice lay-low spot call the Dungeon Lounge near UCF. We immediately took it from where we left off, like I said…very genuine. No lie!, there was a modeling shoot going on, and one of them tapped the other and said “That’s Jayceon!”…very excited to! I was there on assignment, and not to my surprise so was he. He was giving everyone a copy of his Pre-Album…he looked very pleased and confident in that room!…I was thinking that it was the look of an artist that knew he had something special, like the look Picasso must of had after that last brush stroke!…that’s when I hit him up on the CD Review that I do, all the time I was thinking how life puts people in their place like pawns in a chess game. He was there promoting, and I so happen to do CD reviews, put 2 and 2 together right!, after the event I took my hour drive while listening…I rewound, listened,rewound…and this was the outcome.

The story begins Jayceon at a level I never knew…he mentions “make the track bleed”…and that’s exactly what was done!…Super Producer K,and Nino, really need recognition, it sounded like music professionally done for radio!…I was truly blown away, especially when I found out that the whole CD is NON-FICTION!,these are are true events!…he talks about a relationship gone bad, doing time,and facing 21-25 years for bad decisions!…he mentions his love for his child, and how the game wears many masks, but most of all, the expression feels so genuine, it makes anyone think and become an instant critic. When you see Jayceon, and when you listen to his expression, it feels like a surprise…like wow!…this all happened!…a lot of us won’t lay it all down like that, so I truly commend him for letting us all in and feeling his pain!…there’s a track called “You Left ME”…woe!…he puts his pain right in your hands!, he even cries in this one!,similar to Eminems Kim in his own unique way, when you hear this, it keeps you listening, and saying..”WHAT THE F*CK!”…He truly convinced me that real is honesty, and you know what they say about honesty.

I would like to pause for a short Q & A with Jayceon Now…Just random questions before I give him his stacks….

[P.C.] I heard your album Jayceon, I was very intrigued by the amount of passion you poured into those tracks…what inspired you to lay it all on the table like that, for all of the world to see?  [JAY] My music is my life, When people listen to my music I want them to know what it is to be me and live in my shoes, deal with my problems and know why I go so hard.
 
[P.C.] OK…I’ve listened to this through and through…whom ever is laying out the tracks is really on the right track, who is your producer, and what has he/she done?  [JAY] The Cd has a compilation of producers that have all worked with various artists.
 
 
[P.C.] How much of this album is fictional?  [JAY]  The album is 100% Truth, no fables here.
  
 
[P.C.] Were you facing some serious time, you don’t strike me as a person who gets into serious trouble like that?
  [JAY]  In 2007 I was arrested and charged with 7 felonies,  however I’ve been blessed to still have my focus.
 
  [P.C.] What was it like facing life or death like that?  [JAY] I have 2 children now,back then I had 1. The thought of not seeing my daughter grow up was scary for me, but I don’t know if its god or karma or something completely different, but the bad situations in my life always seem to work themselves out.
 
 
 [P.C.] If I had to grade some of the songs, particularly “Crushing”…I would honestly have to say it  needs improvement…why do you think I would say that? [JAY] Well the song is targeted at a different demographic then the rest of the CD. More for a high school/middle school crowd. It was the first song i ever made, the first song that ever hit radio, and the first song that got me real exposure. It may seem out of context on the album but to me its still one of my favorites. haha
 
[P.C.] My favorite track was the last one!…very,very well put together…very positive!…what was your inspiration on that?
 [JAY] I’m not inspired nor detoured by haters, however that song was to inspire people who had negative people telling them that they cant achieve their dreams. I had people tell me that, and now they see what ive accomplished as a solo artist and they have no choice but to acknowledge me.
 
[P.C.] On that Eminem-Kim style song, what possessed you to put your heart out like that?
    [JAY] I want listeners to feel the pain i feel when i hurt, the passion i have when i love, and the anger i have when i hate in every track.
      You cant be in this business and be afraid to air the dirty laundry, people want truth so that’s what i give them.
 
 
[P.C.] What are you afraid of,what scares you the most?
    [JAY] Mercedes Streets. That’s a scary woman! ha…nah I would have to say failing!…the thought of it pushes me harder!
 
 
[P.C.] Are you a playa-playa…or are you a one woman man?….[JAY] lol
 HA! Pure Cash Magazine, I’m as faithful as they come =)

[P.C.] OK JAYCEON…LOL , besides that…where are you gonna perform next? [JAY] I will be at the 11/12 Lounge this Saturday May 2nd celebrating my birthday, and also putting on a very special show!!

[P.C.] Well good luck and enjoy!…

That’s a wrap!!….last thing to do here is give Jayceon my honest, un-biased Review….

My favorite tracks are #3 RINGTONE, and #15 which is a bonus track!…this Bonus Track is worthy to be called a Bonus!…it called “DONT BELIEVE IN ME”…He mentions family, and how people didn’t believe in B.I.G.,2Pac,M.L.K.,Jesus Christ,and even Moses!…I must of heard this about 20 times already, and to my opinion, if this track goes mainstream….4gettaboutit!…it would go platinum for sure!…in my opinion there is only one track that shouldn’t be there(CRUSHIN)…the rhythm is hot, but the innuendo’s are to bubble-gummy for my taste, but with that aside…I give this young man, who happens to be full of passion, and does not care who’s listening, or what anyone has to say, including me, 3 and a half well deserved stacks!!

My only advise is that he stays as real as he is now, and as focused!…if he does this, it’s just a matter of time before he goes global! Congratulations Jayceon!…stay on the right “Track”!…and Happy Birthday from the entire Pure Cash Staff!
