An in-studio interview with the prolific Brown Bag All Star MC & producer J57! J sat down to dish on everything he’s bringing to the table in 2016 - including the JMo Gang project with El Gant, Ras Kass and honorary 4th member DJ Premier, the upcoming full-length with Koncept, an EP with Homeboy Sandman and his 2nd solo LP. We also get in the wayback machine and talk about his influences growing up, how he got into rhyming and eventually production and recording early demo’s in EPMD’s studio in Long Island. J digs on the multiple genres he traverses, from indie rock to hip-hop, his creative process for production and a few of the key players like Tenacity that assist in rounding out the sound. It would be a Southern Vangard interview session without going off the rails a little bit, and Meeks does just that as we discuss J’s early acting career - can you say NINJA COP?!
