Still Music is proud to release the first 12 of a Detroit Hip Hop reference (announcing the full length to be released shortly): Patrick Kennedy Ward a.k.a. D.L.JONES a.k.a. Mr. BeaT$ is a genius Producer, Engineer & Purveyor of Fine Ass Beats In the shadow of all the essential hip hop scene in Detroit, DL Jones has been around for a minute. Hes already worked with LASONEZOUT, SLUM VILLAGE, DAVINA, LOE LOUIS, BINARYSTAR, ONE BE LO, SENIM SILLA, SARAH STOKES and did remixes for everyone from Aaliyah to Xizibit and everyone in between. A Detroit staple, DL Jones had the chance to learn from the masters through one on one lessons. His teachers were Mike Banks, JayDee (JDILLA), George Clinton, Dave Roberson, DJ GODFATHER, Amp Fiddler who showed him some tricks on the EMU SP1200 in the mid nineties and many other people that you never heard of. This first 12 to be taken out of the forthcoming album D.L. JONESWasted Talent showcases serious skills. The 2 tracks on this 12 are simply mind blowing. Gray feat One Be Lo has already reached over 80000 listens on myspace and is becoming an Underground American Hip Hop anthem with One Be Lo hammering it on his everlasting US tour. Lonely starts this EP with a stunning collaboration between the Mighty Amp Fiddler and DL Jones. A superb soulful hip hop tune, that carries the listener to the deepest hip hop territories with an old school jungle twist. Gray is simply a hit. One Be Lo (Fatbeats) is a Michigan based MC that as been making heavy waves in the US for a minute. His lyrics are sharp and to the point. In fact they are so much on point that Gray is now a staple in his live shows and it is now common for the crowd to sing it with him. Trust us, DL Jones is onto something big, this is just the beginning. Enjoy some real hip hop from the D to be released on Still Music.
