"Redefinition Records sat down with the multi-talented J-Zone at his
Queens NY studio
for a conversation about his musical roots, why he
started playing drums, and the ideas
behind his latest project, "Lunch
Breaks"
ABOUT J-ZONE'S LUNCH BREAKS (a 45 RPM 12")
Enter
the world of J-Zone, the self-proclaimed jack of all trades / master of
none
(mc / producer / drummer / author). Truth be told, Zone is one of
Hip Hop's most
underrated artists. The Queens NY native earned his
stripes as an MC / producer
with a string of unique and critically
acclaimed albums in the late 90's-2000's on
Fat Beats Records before
taking a hiatus from music. Zone recently made an impact
as an author,
with his honest and humorous look at his experiences in the music biz in
"Root For The Villain." Since then, J has seemingly recharged his
battery and jumped
back into the music biz with more enthusiasm than
ever, releasing a full-length album
called "Peter Pan Syndrome" in 2013,
and more recently, the thought provoking anti-hater
anthem, "Map Rap"
on 7" vinyl. J has also been DJing popular parties from NY to Chicago
including the NY nightlife staple, Mobile Mondays.
Redefinition
Records & The Drum Broker are proud to bring you J-Zone's 'Lunch
Breaks'
on vinyl & cassette formats. What is lunch breaks? It's a
compilation of original and familiar
drum breaks performed and recorded
by J-Zone. This break record/album is a must have
for any drum
aficionado, beatmaker, producer, or J-Zone fan. As a writer, producer,
MC,
and now Drummer, the "Chief Chinchilla" has earned himself a cult
following that deserves
nothing less than full attention.
These
are must have drums, especially for sampling producers, DJs and
production enthusiasts. Includes 9 bonus tracks not available on the
digital version."
