JIMMY DADE



Hell yea


Jimmy Dade started composing rhymes at age 11. By age 13, Jimmy Dade was taking on freelance work from local artists in surrounding neighborhoods for a new found talent that he discovered: Beat Production. Being that Jimmy was the one whom always search for various ways to nurture his talent, at age 24, Jimmy decided to attend  school to major in the arts and film. Not long after, Junior Joseph dropped out college after two semesters with a G.P.A. of 3.98, which placed him at the top of the dean's list. School never held much interest to the future musician. The theory to his madness was that he wanted to begin a hunt for a way to share his music with the world.

Jimmy Dade is a homegrown Miami Dade artist that represents his hometown to the up most that lives by the motto “Loyalty is Everything”. Dade has submerged himself in various genres and created songs that can make the crowd bounce in the club, that represent the everyday hustler trying to make a living, and songs that bring conscious awareness to things affecting the community in which he grew up in and the world surrounding him.   According to Miami New Times, “His hooks and structure are sharper than a razor and stronger than a reef rock.”
 

In March of 2006 Jimmy Dade released a single called "Patiently Waitin" and due to its fast spread to various parts of the nation, the song began to receive regular rotational spins on the WPEG network in Charlotte, North Carolina.
 

Being an up and coming artist/ songwriter/ producer Jimmy has dabbled in production for other artist such as Rick Ross, and also produced a single called “Army of Souljahs” for former Slip-N-Slide rap group “the Lost Tribe”.  In the year 2008, Jimmy Dade met collaborated with Jive Recording Artist "C-Ride" and co-wrote 5 records including "Dat Wat It Is" by C-Ride featuring The Game & Jimmy Dade himself.  


In 2010 Jimmy Dade expanded his brand and made himself more lucrative to the industry by licensing music to major cable network stations such as MTV. Astonished by his work MTV has used Jimmy’s work on several occasions and granted him full credit for bringing life to one of their top rating shows entitled “Made”.  
 

Since then Jimmy has release MIXTAPES "BREAKIN ALL THE RULES" Vol. 1, 2, & 3; and the Exclusive and the latest speaker-thumping single “Go” ft. Nutt. 

The songs and the music Jimmy produces are inspired by his personal life experiences in addition to the related experiences of others. It is through his songs that he is able to express the thoughts, feelings, and emotions that we all are sometimes apprehensive to talk about in a public setting with others. With this passion and endurance that flows within for music there is no stopping  in Jimmy for achieving the ultimate goal of having his music heard on all four corners of the earth

Blood Raw 





t has been stated, one cannot be a true artist without first experiencing pain. If that is accurate, BloodRaw has struggled all of his lifetime to earn the right to be a hip-hop Picasso. "That's why my music is so soulful. I have people crying when they hear my music because I'll only spit what I've been through."

Born to a mother that did the best she could to raise he and his sister by hustling, BloodRaw learned the game at a tender age. By age 12, BloodRaw lost the center of his universe when his mother died.  As for BloodRaw's father, Tupac described it best, the coward wasn't there. So, to put food on his table, BloodRaw did what he knew best, serving fiends with whatever vice they needed. Street life is not as glamorous as music videos describe, it is a matter of continuing to exist. Unfortunately, as with most urban soldiers, the life was leading BloodRaw to the grave or jail. It just so happened, the latter got to him first.

After losing 6 years of his life to the Florida Department of Corrections, BloodRaw saw the time spent as a blessing. The

time in prison allowed BloodRaw to cool down and reflect upon the life he was leading. Soon, he began putting his experiences to paper and testing his verbal skills in the yard. Day by day, year-by-year, the other inmates noticed this young, brash, and focused lyrical monster gathering crowds under the basketball hoops. They began awestruck whispers among themselves, "Damn, dat boy is blood raw."  Meaning his ability to rhyme was amazing and off the chain! Ever since, he was rightfully dubbed, BloodRaw.

When his release date finally approached in 1998, BloodRaw decided to take rapping seriously and joined his uncle, Dennis Wesley at the Hip-Hop Cafe in Atlanta, GA. Since he was responsible for the music that was played, BloodRaw rubbed elbows and linked with the hungriest talents who just wanted to be heard. The likes of 50 Cent, Ludacris, and JT Money were constantly in attendance during the Rap Offs every Friday night. In fact, he often picked the brains of these future millionaires while he broke their music. Ludacris even placed BloodRaw's son on the intro to his multi-platinum "Chicken & Beer" album.
In 1999, BloodRaw decided to move back to his native Panama City, Florida to join the Niggaz Fo Life (N.F.L.) crew. However, the storybook ending he was looking for was postponed after an appearance on former Lox member Genovese's album did not blossom as he had hoped.  Undeterred BloodRaw theorized, "not everybody is promised to get out of the streets" so he continued his annual grind.  Luck occurs when opportunity and preparation meet.  Luckily, BloodRaw found a management team in C. Wakeley that prepared him for the opportunity when fortune smiled upon BloodRaw at a show in Dothan, Alabama.
