JEHRY: My biggest musical influencers were Wyclef Jean, Eminem, Tech N9ne, The Beatles & Bob Marley Why is it that you decided to go with your given-name as your moniker?

SoCal hip hop artist Kaze Jones is fresh off the release of his debut album, “ Inside Out” , and back with his new project , the “ Kaze EP “.  Produced once again by West Coast veteran Ariano , the  Kaze EP showcases the many sides of Kaze Jones.  His MC skills are on full display on tracks like “Step Back,” which channels a traditional 90’s throw-your-hands-in-air party vibe, and “Pink Panther,” a 70’s funk-inspired banger with double-time raps. The  Kaze EP also gets intensely personal with tracks like “Ready,” where Kaze professes his desire to become a father, and on “Live Your Life,” a slowed down joint that talks of overwhelming personal tragedies and overcoming the odds. “Let It Go” holds its own lane on the  Kaze EP , confronting the fallacy of the life-is-perfect façade that so many people carry into the world every day. The  Kaze EP   is a window into who Kaze Jones is as an artist and a human…listen now.  

Fresh off dropping their sophomore effort, “A Child Trapped in Poems”, SoCal hip hop icon Ariano and Portland producer Jade River bring the heat one more time with the third installment of their collaborative efforts, “ Fear is a Liar (Rockets) “. While Ariano and Jade stuck to purer hip hop stylings of trap and boom bap on their previous two albums, Fear is a Liar is far more rock-driven. From Jade’s bass-heavy production, to Ariano singing his hooks as much as he raps, Fear is a Liar is indisputable evidence of the duo’s musical evolution. Tracks laden with electric guitar and classic rock vibes, like on “Hush (I Wait for You),” permeate the album. Fear is a Liar delivers an underlying message of perseverance and acceptance, even when the tracks themselves may seem filled with anger and frustration. Read between the lines and you hear the truth about overcoming fear, making peace with the things you cannot change and riding your own rocket to the next phase of life (a theme that pl...
