Repost: Reggae Sundays: A Lesson In Vibes

Happy New Year!


I haven't taught in a while. I used to give violin/viola lessons and also teach 1st graders how to use typing and other computer applications back in the days. Now?? I'm teaching YOU how to feel the VIBES. With this podcast, I try to embody the true feeling that the artist are conveying and let you hear their songs up to their climax and that's what I move on to the next. Right when your about to hit that climax, i make it last a little longer...(That's what she said/wants). It's a great feeling really. Nothing moves me and make me WANT to move like Reggae.

Some people aren't sure what songs to listen to and really want to get into more Reggae besides the typical Bob Marley. That's what my show is all about. Especially this episode. There are so many artists out there, just waiting for new eats and new listeners. I am here to showcase them as best as I can. I'm here to learn you. Teach you what roots and culture is really about. Artists such as Sizzla, Buju Banton, Lutan Fyah, Luciano, I-Wayne, Etana, Garnett Silk, Tony Rebel and much much more are showcased here and EVERY sunday. Reggae Sundays 2-4pm.... It doesn't get much better!

Listen below

Peace

Row Jones - Warped Magazine Interview

Warped Magazine took some time out of their busy schedule to interview Row Jones on what's going on in Row Jones world. They were just so curious to know what this buzz for the self proclaimed, "Smokey Robinson" of hip hop was all about. This, "Snoop Dogg of the East," has been hitting the east coast and releasing singles for his fans continuously for the past 2.5 years, so it's about time some one caught up to him. Check out the in-depth interview here. Link below after the excerpt.


Excerpt:


Tell us more about the current song you are promoting to everyone.


The song is called Don’t Talk and it’s produced by Bboyspaz, a producer out of North Carolina. It’s a hip hop/R&B mixture with all the vocals done by me. This song has been out for a few months already and it’s getting a great response locally; now it’s time to spread it throughout the country and worldwide. It’s all original music, no samples or anything.

The concept of the song is basically based on the idea that body language is the most prevalent thing when it comes to communication in relationships. Whether it’s your friend, family, or significant other. But of course, I’m talking strictly about a woman I’m dealing with.

There’s just something about being able to know what someone is thinking or saying without them even talking. We all kind of speak sign language on the low. The song is on Reverbnation, Facebook, and Bandcamp. And will be on MySpace and YouTube very soon.

How does your music separate yourself from other artists and bands out there?

My music is based on real situations. There’s no need to exaggerate. Even when I’m talking about being in the club, I come from a different perspective. I have a song about only needing the women in the club until the end of the night, after the dancing is done I’m not sticking around fishing for numbers/fights/flyers etc. If I do end up bringing one home, she better like taking cabs (haha).

There has definitely been a rebirth in the definition of “real rap.” In my experience it started with people like Mos Def, The Roots, and Little Brother. Mos Def is a superstar, yet Ms. Fat Booty is about a chick who paid him no mind in the club until she met him again later through industry connects.

Little Brother is the epitome of reality rap, talking about jobs they had in the department store and women who only wanted to mess with them because they thought a record deal was on the table. That’s the kind of vibe I bring to the table.

Reggae Sundays - A Lesson In Vibes

Simple. This is a lesson in vibes. Smooth transitions, classics and hits. New music mixed with old traditions. Just listen....you might learn somethin. I wanna shout out Apani Smith for listening! That was a blessing. It's nice to have people who already have fame in their own right, listening to you. It's amazing what this internet thing can do and how it can connect people from all walks of life so easily.

On a more solemn note...my heart goes out to those who were brutally and horribly killed in their school in Connecticut. I can't believe people could be so heartless and senseless. I played a song for them, Jah Cure - Thank You For Life. I have to make sure I appreciate MY life, cause i bet they would want people to put more value on life in general.

Bless Up

Take a listen

Video: The Softer Side of Row Jones

Sometimes you have to just slow down and take things one cat a time, (get your mind out the gutter). With my busy schedule, it's always nice to take a little time and enjoy the finer things in life. So I decided to go to a friends house and chill. Low and behold, he had recently purchased a kitten for his oldest daughter, who just turned 2. That kitten was so new, it didn't even understand what the hell was going on when i picked it up. It thought it was gonna drop to the ground and go splat. Luckily I calmed him down some. He was a cute little one, so i took some video.

Yea that's right....I rap...and I just wrote a little story about a kitten. I should write a song about it next. With a thug mentality.

New Track - Row Jones ft. Ra Spitta "I Feel Nothin'

You lived there all your life it seems. Growing up, flying off your first bike like superman(for 2 seconds). Saw your first illegal picture, firecracker or weapon there. There's nothing like that hometown love, that makes you FEEL loved. Because to be loved is to be whole. And we all want a whole lot of love, but have none to give anymore. Even though your family is there. It's an endless cycle...until it breaks.


And your still standing.

Unbroken and whole. Unspoken with goals. Nah..that's too deep.

Unravel the folds...


It's people with THAT mentality, who make it out (commercially) of there city
and create a real name for their brand. And when you move somewhere else and build a foundation. It can be hard to feel your city the same way. I still believe in it. The Roots on Jimmy Fallon. Meek Mills helped keep us on the map in the new wave of hip hop. Somebody always does. Check the track record. There's always gonna be physical changes sure, but those physical changes shape the way things operate and feel. Sometimes it's for the better, sometimes not. And I say all this to say, sometimes............I feel nothin. But no matter what. I still got love for my city. PHL - Phila - iLladel half life ALL DAY... Beantown stand UP.



Ranting,

Row Jones

Reggae/Soul Sundays - Soulfire

As usual, in case you missed this Sundays show, it's here for your listening pleasure. Try not to make a mess where you sit. If you do, text TV to 62297 and Macy's will send you a 20% off coupon. Use that coupon to buy some new underwear. Maybe a 3-pack. But this is a nasty topic, moving on...

This Sunday, we added Soul as I began doing every 3rd Sunday. It's been a very fun time. For some it's a confusing time, i know. Your like wait....Marvin Gaye AND Buju Banton? How does that work? But isn't it all soul music in the end? just from different cultures, but we are all the same people. Both artists use bands, both artists sing love songs and songs of oppression over smooth bass lines and smooth melodies. To me...it's all the same and it all deserves to be played on a Sunday. Check it out below.

Reggae/Soul Sundays - Soulfire

We had a crazy storm out here a couple days ok, Hurricane Sandy. Sandy tried to tear down everything that was built on the Northeast Corridor. But we survived! You have to appreciate having a roof over your head. I really feel sorry for people who had to live outside. There has to be more we can do for the homeless. Even the ones who don't want to help themselves. Everybody needs shelter. But I digress. This mix done weathered the storm! Just wait until next week.

Reggae Sundays - Bring Back The Soul

Integrating Soul & R&B into an already soulful reggae afternoon. Check out this edition for a different spin on what can be blended together. To me, it only makes sense to mix together to soulful genres of music like this. And hey, it's all black music anyway. Why not blend it?


A lot of people don't even realize that many of their favorite reggae songs are covers of old school R&B and Soul songs. There's a lot of newer covers (90's and up) but the old ones always get looked over. There's also plenty of rock/alternative/pop covers as well. Even Lady Saw covered a Jimmy Buffet song, "Pina Colada's". Oh yea, you know it.

Listen below...Every 3rd Sunday 2-4pm we add soul music....

ENJOY!

Reggae Sundays: Everybody Must Work

This week was a little crazy. After a rough start, and an even tougher restart...The music was rolling. We started off with some smooth roots reggae to soothe the soul, before I paid homage to Barrington Levy with some select tracks. He is a legend in Reggae & Dancehall and fortunately he's coming up here to Boston on Oct. 20th. I can't wait. Sit back and enjoy this episode of reggae sundays because it DEFINITELY gets turned up by the end with uber amounts of dancehall. That's right...uber. I can use that word! Take a listen! Next week is Reggae/SOUL Sundays...mixing in Soul & R&B music. What could be more perfect on a Sunday afternoon?

**New Video** "Hey J, Yo Row"

New video from J Magas and Row Jones! "Hey J, Row Jones. This video is a Dance/Trance/Hip Hop experience! I don't think you have seen a video like this before. We definitely put some good thought into the structure of this song. It's basically a party song to show how people react when we come around, whether it be the club or on stage, they HAVE to scream our names! You will be saying the same names once your done hearing this song. We got dancing girls in the shadows, planetary backgrounds and fire coming from the hands. This video has it all! I hope y'all enjoy it. Of course there's also an mp3 which I will put right after the vid. Enjoy people! Please "Like it" if you like it and share it all over facebook and twitter! Oh yea...you can ... ahem... BUY the track too. Support is much appreciated. I want to be able to keep giving you good music!
