Me and Jax go way back.
Jax and I go back to 1999 when Dres the Beatnik brought him by my studio. I was recording Dres’s first album and Jax was on it. Before that we had only seen each other in passing doing shows at local spots. I had gained a little notoriety from doing ads in Elemental. Jax loved those ads. We bonded immediately. We started recording some songs and just hanging out. This guy had more talent than I ever dreamed of having. The time and effort he put into music was amazing. I have never seen anybody work harder. With all his talent he could have very well been on some ego shit, but he wasn’t. Jax was one of the most down to earth people you could ever meet.
Below is a list of classic material. Ads we did together, videos he did that I love, and downloads you need. I miss my friend.

This is the mass comm e.p. release. The full album is available on itunes.

I love these. Jax was a wild dude.
My man.
What really went down @ The Mic Club
I think dude was trying to shit on Dres, but that is what club owners do. They use promoters to build the business then get rid of them. I certainly hope Fort Knox(current host) does not think that dude is a friend. I also hope that dude does not think Fort Knox won’t fuck him up. Dres should have.
