Jonesy Covers MASS appeal



And heres an excerpt from their article. Hitting the shelves soon for anyone who wants to waste 3 minutes of their life.

You know what I’ve noticed about you cats? I’ve noticed that y’all are all down with your moms. I read the interview with your mom in Don Diva; she was dropping some gangsta-ass nuggets.
She showed me my hustle, my grind. She was my mother, my father, my friend, my girlfriend—she is everything to me. You know, coming up, watching her lifestyle and how fast she was living and how much she still loved me and my sisters…she been through some hell fire shit. Shit is very cliché at this point, but it’s so real—what I’ve been through and seen through my mommas eyes, and the pain I’ve felt due to the ups and downs of the game. It’s like, Whew! That was that time of disco lights, camera, action and everything that goes along with getting money off cocaine. Cocaine was the drug of choice [back then]—just like how I’m hooked on this weed right now. And we could never talk bad about that time or about people using it ’cause that was the social drug. The flip side is when you get hooked on a strong drug like that everything slowly starts to deteriorate and you really start to see what life is about.

She worked in the club game, right?
The club was called Broadway International. Everybody came through there. I met Kurtis Blow there. My moms collected money at the door, she was at the bar, she was getting all types of money. They had the crazy unisex, Scarface looking bathroom and everybody in there was sniffing up. Niggas was snorting up and all that in that unisex bathroom—it looked like that Miami Vice-type shit. If you had a cell phone back then, you was doing some dumb shit.
