ONE MORE STEP!

I had two of the back to back biggest moments of my career in the same week.  Oct 9th I rocked the House of Blues Dallas as an artist!  Two days prior in St.Louis I took the stage at the Red Bull Big Tune... one of the most elite, if not the elite beat battle in the world.  All of the people and producers were great folk.  Lots of great connections.  The hospitality was ridiculous.   Filet mignot (is that how you spell that ish) , Free drinks, special treatment and all you can guzzle red bull ( I think my ass is STILL AMPED from my red bull consumption) was just part of what made this experience un real.  Everything was perfect up until the losing part. lmao.  I honestly felt I had what it took, but so did all the UBER talented producers that were blessed to participate.  I knew the risks of coming from Dallas one deep to a city I'd never been in a crowd judged beat battle, but miss big tune?  HELL NAH!  YOU DON'T MISS BIG TUNE!  It still was an honor to participate, the winner and the runner up Tri and M-80 are two of the most talented humble dudes you will ever meet.  It was humbling to meet them both.  I really hope Big Tune comes to Dallas.  This event is so much about the music and is a high level production on ALL levels.  I want my city to experience something like this.  Seems like my beloved Dallas is more caught up in the glitz and glam of looking the part in a lot of cases.  I think Big Tune in Dallas would open up a loooot of eyes on to what a musical event should be about.  I want to be the Dallas Ambassador that pushes for it to come here! lol...  Here is some of the video from the event.  Shouts out to the Big Tune team and all of the many talented producers that took part.

Fisher Price, My 1st Blog

If you're reading my blog, you prolly (yeah prolly, using my native tongue in my blogs, you know how Mark Twain did in his books #nshit) know that I'm an artist/producer and heavily invested in my musical dreams.  I'm also a father, a cool dude, and an overall cumble mofo. Cumble is the combination of humble and cocky, oddly enough both define me very well.  I'm an anomaly!


Seriously though, I have a lot on my chest and I think at this point I've worked up a big enough fan base to where at least 5 mofos will read my blog urrrtime I post.  So lets get it  cracking.  What I hope to accomplish with this blog is that these minimum 5 mofos can enter my mind, my thoughts and come to know me better.  If a portion of these 5 mofos already know me on a deep personal level, then this blog is to subliminally vent to them or about them! lol.


This first Blog is to thank everyone that came out in the cold rain to party with me at my sick tape release at PCL.  Meant a lot and it shows my support system is strong when rain sleet or snow I can count on lots of my supporters showing up.  I would go into calling out individuals, but I love all my peeps, and I'd rather not say any names than risk leaving even a ONE person out!  The tape is indeed sick... if you haven't downloaded it already, DO IT! www.jrhodes.bandcamp.com

Promise my next blog will be more personal... I have LOOOOOTS on my mind that I need to get off my chest.  I usually do it in song form, but, a blog gives more instant gratification...

J.Rhodes- yeah, you spell it like the keyboard.
