Jeff Le’Mar Jones aka Jeff Jones is an American rapper and hip-hop and R&B songwriter. Biography Jeff Jones was raised in the gang dominated streets of Los Angeles' Compton and South Central neighborhoods. He moved around Southern California from the San Fernando Valley to Palmdale and finally Riverside due to his mother's battle with drug addiction. Jones started rapping and performing at the age of ten, freestyling at school and performing with a local rap group. He was inspired by West Coast hip-hop legends 2Pac, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, and DJ Quik and later New York's Notorious B.I.G. before he took a liking to the SWAY and TECH underground hip hop scene. He continued to hone his lyrical skills battle-rapping all over Southern California throughout high school. After a year of hustling to make ends meet, he knew music was his calling and that he was going to need to put all of his energy into pursuing his dream of being a hip-hop artist. With Jones looking for ways to be noticed, his sister sent a fax to Los Angeles radio station 100.3 The Beat and entered him into Steve Harvey’s Apollo West Talent Showcase to perform his spoken word rap. He emerged with two back-to-back victories and much praise for his exceptional lyrical skills. Jones and his crew 5th Squad began recording music with the help of a local manager. In 2003, Jones got his chance to show what he could do in front of top music industry executives. SpenCow Entertainment executives Demetrius Spencer and JJ Johnson heard Jones freestyle rap and signed him on the spot. They began work immediately on his first album with producer Poli Paul (Chingy, The Black Eyed Peas, Nas & Bravehearts), and within six months Jeff Jones was signed to a major record deal with Elektra Records, then home of platinum recording artists including Fabulous, Missy Elliott, and Busta Rhymes. He completed recording his first album on Elektra Records “God Given” with features from Trick Daddy, Cee-Lo of Gnarls Barkley, and R&B group Midwest City. His high energy record “We Sum All Stars” off the album was featured in the hit Disney feature film New York Minute and also on the movie soundtrack. In the summer of 2004 Jeff Jones’ first single “Trunk Rattle” hit radio airwaves in the West Coast and Midwest regions, introducing his melodic flow to the masses. Just as
