Rick Ross & His Maybach Music Group Cover XXL’s October Issue | XXLMAG.COM
Source is in the link....Couple of words from Jayson..Not much...Go to the link source to see the rest..I think this part is important because this is how I looked at Rick Ross signing all of those dudes from different areas...
Recruiting some of hip-hop’s most promising, up-and-coming talent doesn’t hurt Ross’s chance at claiming rap’s top spot on the food chain either. Asked why he decided to reach out and associate himself with such a broad range of MCs including Meek, Wale, Pill and Stalley, Rozay said it was important to help give other artists a chance he felt wasn’t offered to him when he started out.
“To me, it don’t matter where you from,” he says. “I come from a time and place when Miami wasn’t the most poppin’. Everybody wasn’t as eager to open they door, give you a hand. For me to be in this position, I want to make sure I do the opposite that a lot of these niggas did.”
XXL’s new executive editor, Jayson Rodriguez, moderated a roundtable discussion between MMG stars Wale, Meek and Pill, to find out about each rappers role in the crew, what MMG represents as a team and what gives them an advantage over their competitors.
“I think it’s a plus that everybody got their own fan base, they got their own thing rocking in their own city, and they got their own representation of what they stand for,” Pill says. “So when everyone comes together, that’s all the fan bases combined. It’s a blessing to be able to rock with a bunch of different guys that are passionate about the craft and that know where they going and actually can foresee the future, when it comes to their music. I think that gives us a stronghold and a bit of longevity. And kind of an advantage also.”

Video X @Jayhovawitness & a SoundExchange.com rep on getting paid for music streaming & media
Had a lot of you ask me how you would go about parlaying the thing you love to do , music, into something profitable or buzzworthy. This video should help. This is all GREAT STUFF TO KNOW IF YOU ARE A NEWBIE IN THE GAME OR A VET. Definitely worth the time. The Sound Exchange rep explains how you can get paid from services like Pandaro and the like who stream your music and Jayson explains from the media side just what it is like to find music and for it to catch his ear. He also the 'delay' that some of you have expressed 'concerned' with as far as media outlets like MTV and such not 'covering' your favorite artist. There is a reason and whether you like it or not it is valid. The video explains all of that.. Enjoy.

I am going to this in REVERSE order this time. Normally, whatever order I put the post up in, I take that order but this first part is VERY IMPORTANT. I suspect that there will be questions after some 'listen' to the interview. Questions that might be valid. So....lets do a lil historical recap on the MC formerly known as Miraculous and now known as MIKE JAGGERR.
Oh and before ya'll bring out the 'expose' word, these are facts that Mike DOES acknowledge so I am not 'exposing' anything really. I am educating. There is a difference. Some of you need to learn it. How do I know Mike acknowledges it? I am imagining that the stuff I receive in regards to Mike from the good folks that handle him that includes these tidbits of info WOULDN'T BE INCLUDED if there wasn't acknowledgment. So yeah...that's how I know...

About five years ago a high school kid in Delaware was tenaciously on his pre-Twitter hustle blowing my phone up. He was one of hundreds of producers vying to get into Scratch magazine’s Hydrosonics column. He was making music as part of a program called Bassline Entertainment and was rapping under the name Miraculous. Thankfully, his crew had music good enough to warrant his persistence, so after finally connecting we arranged the interview. In his profile he told our good friend Celia San Miguel about making beats using allergy pills. “I didn’t have a shaker. I had what I had and knew what I wanted it to sound like,” he said in the article. “I was just using what I had at my disposal.”
Enjoy the interview. I have a lot of people* asking me 'Just who the fuck is this kid? Why have I NEVER heard of him here in Delaware? I mean if you are REALLY curious, you will watch the video and FIND OUT FIRSTHAND who is or what he is about.
All your questions should be answered after this twenty plus minute interview...

The boy Mike Jaggerr, Sway and I.....
A good time was had by all last night at Mike Jaggerr's mixtape release party held in Wilmington, Delaware on Friday, February 4, 2011 at The Lux. The boy Jayson Rodriguez was holding court along with Grouchy Greg of AllHipHop.com, producer Rich Nice and many more were in the building. Delaware really came out to support...
You can get Mike's tape here.....
http://www.mikejaggerr.bandcamp.com/
Afterward, I got a chance to sit with Mike Jaggerr and listen to some of his upcoming heat from his next mixtape....Let me tell you, the boy is on it! Producing. Rapping. Singing. Arranging. Looks and sounds like he is covering his all bases. Real good dude and I was glad I got a chance to chop it w him.
Here are some more pictures from the night's festivities.....

As for Sway, he was the same as you see on TV. Very personable and a man of the people. He took the time to shake each hand and hold a conversation and in some cases several (hint..hint..PUSH..@ yours truly) with everyone in the room which is big to me. I mean, he could have stayed holed up in the corner. He did not. I respect that about him. Real good dude.

Greg was just.....just wait 'till you see the pictures of my boy Greg. Same ole Greg. Very proud of him and glad everyone gets to see the Greg that I know and have known for years....
Mike Jaggerr, Sway and producer Rich Nice....

This is my boy Ali.Batts....the subject of Jayson's first EVER feature article (and my best friend..yeah I had to throw that in there..lol) with another good friend of ours..The incomparable Grouchy Greg of AllHipHop.com....

Of course I COVERED MIKE HERE A COUPLE OF TIMES...

NEW YORK--One week after his debut mixtape, The Eleventh Hour, was released and just one month into 2011 and it's already clear upstart MC/producer Mike Jaggerr is one to watch out for in the new year.
His project, the self-produced The Eleventh Hour, received rave reviews with the mixtape posted on influential Web sites and blogs such as AllHipHop.com, RapRadar.com, OkayPlayer.com, DJBooth.net, 2DopeBoyz.com, YouHeardThatNew.com, GoodFellaMedia.com, TheSource.com and many more.
Power 105's Angela Yee also made the project her "Mix Pick" of the week. The Source's new Editor-in-Chief Bonsu Thompson called the newcomer one of his favorite young stars on the rise. And DJs Mick Boogie and Wally Sparks both tapped Jaggerr's "Cruise Control" produced by The Eleventh Hour star and featuring Big K.R.I.T. as their picks of the week via Twitter.

For some of you this may seem like 'suicide'. It isn't. This isn't a shark tank man. We all do what we do in our own lane even if we ride on the same highway. So I don't mind giving out props to these folks. Some of them are a LOT BIGGER THAN me in this 'Net World so maybe they don't 'need it'. That doesn't matter to me either. I am just here to tell them that they are appreciated and that I see them.

My dear friend E! from Cali is ON TO SOMETHING over there. She is all over the music scene out there and personally turned me on to Kaki King, the reemergence Latoiya Williams and she keeps up with ALL OF THE LATEST HAPPENINGS with a passion and vigor that I love. She is currently in the process of revamping things (even though I love the way things are now) and is ALWAYS LOOKING TO MAKE HER PRODUCT BETTER. Look for more behind the scenes pictures, exclusive Ustreams and just out and out good stuff from this Cali girl and her movement. Oh did I mention she seems to know EVERYONE out there in addition to anyone else who comes THROUGH there? Yeah...She does. Did I mention that she gets a lil political on her spot too? Oh...she does. I think you will like it. Go check it.

I mean the name is SELF EXPLANATORY. You can't find any female MCs out there? Go to their site. You wanna know what your favorite rapper who gets no press is up to? Go to their site. Oh you like videos of concert performances of famous and almost famous musicians alike? Go to their site.

I could cliche you to death about Loryn. I won't. All I will say is that if you want to have discourse with a real young lady of color who is well rounded about ALL SUBJECTS, go get at her site. It will take to you to her numerous outlets on the Web. I would keep the judgments about her mum 'till you get to know her work and not take her seriousness on some subjects as her being not appreciative of others...

He should look familiar. I won't say too much about where he has been 'cause it speaks for itself. As soon as you see his name (or face), it will all come flooding back. He is one of those folks that a lot of people who do this are trying to be. Been where they are trying to go. I happen to be privy to a few (I said a few) of is innermost thoughts and beliefs and he would surprise a lot of people with those. He is currently working with a new artist that I have featured here before....@MikeJaggerr....that is when he is not out interviewing the Drakes and Lebrons of the World. Very very good person to follow...
http://potholesinmyblog.com/
The name alone should make you want to follow if you know your music. Dope dope site. You need to peep it. I happen to follow one of the contributors to the blog (Your Bucs are looking good homie....) and he is a stellar follow OUTSIDE of the blog. I am not sure if he knows that I even peep his blog like that. I do. Very good spot. Got check 'em....
Now there are MORE PEOPLE THAT I follow whose work I LOVE and I will be pointing them out like I always do. Just wanted to give some recognition while it was on my mind and I had the time to do so. Ya'll are appreciated. Keep doing what you do in '11!

He is a friend of mine from the great State of Delaware. You may also have seen his face on MTV and other places. He honestly doesn't get to tweet as much as one would as far as replies but he does provide a plethora of information that one could use. When he does reply, it is witty. No, you won't be able to 'sway his decision' on what they decided on "Hottest MCs In the Game" list but JUST MAYBE, if you are respectful, he will chop it up with you about it for a hot second. Follow my boy.
