While younger fans of the show watched to see who would be crowned the next Caucasian rapper to take on the music scene.
Well, the momentum has been building, the scene has been taken and a star is emerging, his name: JON BOY. Jon boy aka Mr. Virginia who hails from Southern, VA embodies the number one code of ethics in Hip-Hop, which is to simply "Keep it Real." Jon Boy is a rapper/producer that is not trying to be anything other than himself, so if you’re looking for gimmicks you won’t find it here. As a true lyricist with real substance, Jon Boy appeals to a wide audience, but stays true to the spirit of the genre. His debut album entitled, "Mr. Virginia" features his upcoming single "Rise-Up" which is an anthem dedicated to old and new fans alike that according to the song’s hook, "you will get to know me, I’m a Rise-Up, Rise-Up...I promise you’ll get to know me..." is a testament to the rappers determination to rise to the top of the industry. Jon Boy is paving his way to RISE to the occasion and make his own print in the music industry.
Jon Boy is scheduled to be featured on various tours within the U.S. and International markets this year and will be filming his first music video in California this spring for his first solo-release.
