Jhevon Paris's soon to be debut release, entitled DIRTY LAUNDRY on Five Mil/SPG/UNIVERSAL RECORDS, is a journey through the mind of an artist who brings a new meaning to the phrase, BEING TRUE TO YOURSELF.
In a game that's over saturated with artists who often choose to be someone else, as oppose to being who they are due to someone else's vision, Jhevon Paris has decided to go a route that many will find controversial.
The Rock City Born Rapper/vocalist/songwriter's music brings a graphic depiction of topics that most would find unsuitable to touch on, I'm not just swearing every second like an idiot, when you stop bobbin your head and listen, I'm story telling and touching on situations that I've actually went through, this whole album is real! It's my escapades given to you uncut.
Overcoming situations and events that would make a normal person QUIT and give up, Jhevon Paris weathered a storm that most would find impossible. I know what its like to have a major deal, and then have it taken away before you can even blink, I know what its like to go for days with out eating because the management company that signed you decide the money allocated for your album, would be better spent on cars, houses, strippers, and drugs. I was left for DEAD, but my faith gave me another life, and that is why I do not take anything for granted."
With no money and no record deal, Jhevon Paris in a one-bedroom apartment in Tulsa, Oklahoma, put together a plan that would not only put him back in the game, but would give him the album that he always wanted. I did something that I should have done a long time ago, and that's trust myself, at this point I had nobody, my other band member left the project and went back to Canada , but I could not let everything that I went through be in vain. One thing that artists should always do is be as much your own manager as you can, without compromising your art, make contacts and keep them, also never burn a bridge because you never know when you'll need to cross it again.
Jhevon Paris not only crossed the bridge, but also with hours of honing his lyrical craft, and becoming stronger vocally, he convinced Tulsa, Oklahoma 's super producer AngeloJACC SPADE Estes, and Toronto native Duane FIRST Blair whom Jhevon Paris feels is one of the sickest producers on earth, to see the vision he saw, and they did. I met JACC SPADE through my former management company. He was suppose to produce tracks for HEAT the group that I was in, but at that time it was mostly vocal with maybe a rap verse here or there. FIRST and I were friends from back home in Toronto , he knew what I was doing out in the U.S, so he was kept up to speed on what was happening. I was not known as a rapper, I was known as the guy in the singing group that knew how to rap, The transition wasn't as easy as people may think, I didn't want to fake it, there's nothing worse than someone rapping that shouldn't, its embarrassing and corny, FIRST saw the vision and so did JACC SPADE so we got it poppin and here I am.
My whole experience is a blessing it has shown me that there are second chances in life, and you can achieve your dreams if you work hard and believe in yourself. I went from literally eating out of hotel garbages to starting an entertainment company, and a clothing line. Many will find my album crazy and out of control, but that's me, if I was a gangster I would talk about it but I'm not so I am not going to pretend, I love women, so sue me! I'm giving fans the real me uncut, so whether you love it or hate it you got to respect it."
SEE YOU IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM!
