KC Jones Is The Name

Known amongst his peers as “the cool kid to be around”, Chicago Native Cameron “KC” jones has a thought provoking, lyrical style sure to leave an impression on anyone in tune with good music. Cameron “KC” Jones, has always had an ear for music, growing up he quickly gravitated to the likes of Rap artist Eminem, who was the first one to inspire KC’s writing style at a young age.

“ I remember my early writings being comical and harsh like Eminem when I was kid. I was just instantly in tune with his music and how people just naturally wanted to listen to him without having to be asked or persuaded”.

Eminem was not his only source of inspiration, he also rocked with Camron, Common, Kanye West, Juelz Santana, 50 Cent, Chaka Khan, CA!N, and T.I.

Music has always been apart of KC’s lifestyle, whether it was recording music in his early years with friends in high school, writing a R&B song, or venting thoughts to his 3 yr. old daughter Lyric, he never lost sight of being involved in music. But, it was running into his childhood friend, and one half of the group “The Odd Couple” that took his music to another level.  He began working on solo projects and gaining the drive and passion to compete against other artist rapping style, and work ethic. “From the Mic to the Boards” Kc was on his grind to create a buzz for himself as solo artist, linking up Chicago producer TJ Allen and The Soul Lifters.

 “ We clicked instantly, cause his beats have that bounce and you have to bob your head when a track comes on, and that’s what I want people to do when they hear my music”.

He didn’t stop there; he also worked with Proseed who has a “hip hop soul, vintage sound” that put KC in a story telling state of mind. KC has worked with both producers since 2007 and his music has certainly evolved and reached above and beyond expectations since then.

Kc brings balance to the game as far as “party”/ hip-hop songs, and keep his music fun but also stay creative with lyrics, and ideas and not conforming to just one sound. Kc released his first solo effort “Limelight Vol 1.” In 2007 and is currently set to release “PYRO” featuring all original songs, features including former ODD Couple member CA!N in April 2012.  Kc has had the chance to perform at in store events for Akin Chicago, Leaders 1354, Potential Villain and Nike events such as Sneak & Eat 2011. Be on the look out for future projects from KC; this is only the beginning of lasting future for the Chicago Native in this industry.
