New Orleans’ 17th Ward has long been known as a hotbed of solid and unique talent – a mecca, if you will. The proverbial torch has been handed down from the legends to a new crop of lyrical creatives that includes and is a led by Jay Jones, Hollygrove Keem and prior to his recent untimely death, BTY YoungN. The trio has an amazing and unrivaled energy and are sure to leave quite a mark on the entertainment world.

The trio’s new album “Cut the Check” is a precursor to much more new music, but is a classic in and of itself. “Cut the Check” includes the smash hit with Fetty Wap entitled “The Zoo”, and contains features from the legendary Jay Da Menace (of Black Menace), recent 300 signee Navè Monjo, T3, AR-Ab, Remyboy Monty, and C-Dash. Breakout hit “Stay Down” is also included in the dope tracklisting.

Jay Jones recently began touring with Lil Wayne’s Kloser 2 U Tour and has traveled across the U.S. performing in various shows, including Wayne’s SXSW headlined show. Hollygrove Keem is a sought after rapper, having featured on countless songs with more material set to be released soon. At the time of his death on April 29th, BTY YoungN was a rising star affiliated with Cash Money/Rich Gang, and was a well-known rapper and entertainment personality. His loss created a ripple effect throughout the music world.

“Cut the Check” is available for download/streaming everywhere music is sold, including iTunes, Google Play, Amazon Music, Spotify, Tidal, JPay, and hundreds of other international outlets.

Not only did he start Black Menace, but he was also the President of independent label Big Boy Records, known for churning out more talent than a little – talent that included Mystikal, Fiend, The Ghetto Twiinz, Partners-N-Crime, Tim Smooth, and many more.

Client Tha Natural teams up with Kevin Gates for a hit entitled “Gave Me Life”

Posted on by mikodreamz

One talk with Nateese “Tha Natural” Jones and you can be certain you aren’t conversing with just any rapper. In fact, you can be certain you aren’t talking with just an Average Joe.

Tha Natural is wise beyond his years. Could it be his experiences growing up between L.A. and Houston? Perhaps. Or does it come from living the fast life and where that can lead a kid? Who knows? And really, who cares? Because all that matters now is that Mr. Jones is getting his life in order so he can move on to bigger and better things – which in all reality, is currently taking place.

Tha Natural has a promising career that’s growing by leaps and bounds and he’s getting his business (Loss Life ENT) in order. This collaboration with Kevin Gates over an @KalaniOnTheBeat track is opening many doors, as the single gains traction in the digital realm.
