J-MAR, SEATTLE’S “SICKEST MC” RELEASES “BE A “G” ABOUT IT!

Du4Self Records announces the release of Seattle MC J-Mar’s second solo album, “Be A “G” About It,” the follow up to his freshman release, “Go Get It.”

J-Mar, originally born in Spokane, moved to Seattle, Washington, where as a teenager, he developed a passion for hip-hop. Through his gift of story telling in rhymes, J-Mar, who with his cousin, Young’n formed the group the Northwest Heathens, eventually became one of the sickest MC’s in the Northwest, hence the name, J-Mar Da Silk. A graduate of Evergreen State College with a degree in Marketing Music, J-Mar eventually became the co-owner of Du4Self Records.

Currently, Du4Self is promoting “Be A “G About It,” a slang phrase that J-Mar and his camp use which means to stop hating and tripping over trivial matters. “It also means handle your business according to whichever way you see fit. Don’t let nobody dictate how you should act,” explains J-Mar. “Be smart and think before you react in any situation.”

“The single, ‘I’m On The Grind (Hustlin’),’ represents exactly who we are as Du4Self Records Bonnifide Hustlers. That’s just what we are known for up here,” says J-Mar. “We on every block, at every popping spot/event doing us. We up early and late, no sleep!” The accompanying video, which can be seen on Youtube.com, was shot in the Eastside and Hilltop Tacoma neighborhoods, and participants included Du4Self artists as well as residents of the community. Good Fellas Barbershop sponsored the realistic barbershop scene in the video which is attracting attention on a regional and national level.

Music listeners who are ready for a change will gravitate toward J-Mar’s style. “I feel that the NW (Northwest) style of music is diversified because the NW is a diverse place. This is a place where you go out to a club and every race of people may be there jamming to hip-hop. So musically, you have your conscious rappers, political, hardcore, street, laid back, hyped up, etc. All styles sometimes are pulled together as one. The NW music is a movement. Everyone is waiting on a representative to be in the spotlight to tell their story of what really goes on in the NW. The NW wants to be heard,” J-Mar concludes. J-Mar is staying on his grind and being a “G” about it. For more information about the Northwest’s sickest MC, visit www.myspace.com/du4self.
