J-HOOD
THE EXCLUSIVE
HNS Magazine is proud to bring
you the exclusive interview on
one of Yonkers hiphop legends.
One of the original artists from
D-Block, he had a record deal
before he was even legally old
enough to drive, and who
happens to be one of the hottest
spitters in the game to this day,
J-Hood. J-Hood’s verses get the
most rewinds and replays and
you just gotta hear that fire one
more time. Every time he spit he
brings that HEAT, he’s got a
reputation for it and he never
lets his fans down. Today JHood is CEO of his own label
O.D.G Entertainment, doing it
super big and holding it down for
the streets. HNS’s Permashine
was very fortunate to get a little
time from his busy schedule to sit
down for the exclusive Interview.
Wassup J-Hood, we appreciate you
for allowing HNS to do the interview.
Legend tells it that DMX helped your
career get started. Can you tell a bit
about how you met DMX and got
discovered?
“First of all let me start by saying thanks for
reaching out and being interested in having me
in your mag. I def appreciate the opportunity,
but to answer your question that's actually
pretty funny that you said that "Legend Tells it"
(lol), I heard that same story and have been
asked that quite a few times I honestly have no
idea where that came from.”
It was an online source(lol), I appreciate
you clearing that up for us. So, of all the
great points in your career, what would
you say is the most memorable so far?
“Well I'm still trying to reach my great points in
my career truthfully but one thing I will never
forget that made me feel like a full fledge star
was during the “I Declare war” Jay Z mini tour,
if I'm not mistaken, I got to be his and Diddy's
hype man because the LOX had records with
them both and Hov had brought them out to
perform.
Wow, I couldn't even imagine how
amazing that would be. Since you
have several years of industry
experience tell us something you
were surprised wasn't the way you
thought it was gonna be?
“A lot, the people in it for the most part
but hey that's life.”
What can we expect to see from
ODG Entertainment this year?
“We are looking to drop 6 projects before
the end of the year, "Book of Joshua 2
Reloaded" from me "Slik Talk 4.8" by my
artist Q-Caine out of Charlotte N.C. , "Life
After da Block" DVD from me, "Brothers
from Another" from my fellow C.E.O Stikk
Man and I, an album from me and west
coast legend Yukmouth and a short film
called "Choppin".”
“Thanks a lot, I also directed the vid , I just
wanted to transfer my actual feelings onto a
beat and hope people would feel my pain or
even relate to some of the things I was saying
and see that my life is no different than theirs,
heart ache and loss effects any and everyone.”
You definitely achieved that. Also the
HNS Radios # 1song "You Can Do It"
available on ITunes, big stacks on the
