VERTICAL JONES: MR. ONLY WAY IS UP!

Vertical Jones is truly a "Jack of All Trades."  He represents Newark, New Jersey and he is one of the most versatile artists you will ever meet.  Vertical is a rapper, singer, producer, engineer, musician, and many other things in the field of music.  I have known Vertical since we were both very young and it has been an honor to see him grow both as a person and an artist.

Vertical Jones's last album was entitled, "Best at Being Me."  This is a motto that I would use to best describe his style.  He isn't an artist that follows the trends, he is always about doing the type of music that is comfortable for him. This album features the controversial single called, "This is Why I Download," which speaks about the current state of music and the reason more music is being downloaded today.  Other popular singles from that album include, "Make Noise," "Not Like Me," and "I Need You."

"City of Blinding Lights" Video

His newest album is being released this fall entitled, "Rise of the Fallen."  Vertical is extremely excited for this album to release.  He has been working on this for about two years trying to make sure it is perfect.  When I asked him to describe the album, he stated that the album is like "that ugly face you make when you hear a dope beat for the first time."  He also said the album will include both rapping and singing which he describes as "a mixture of great music."  Leading singles off the album are "City of Blinding Lights," and "What We Came For." The album is expected to include R&B artist Derron Fareed and Neako.

In the meantime while many of us are awaiting this album, he will be releasing a "beat tape" later this month. This will be all new original instrumentals produced by The AllSpark.  The All Spark is a production team made up of Vertical Jones and his partner Hefsquire.  The tape will be entitled, "360".  As a production team The AllSpark has done tracks for Wiz Khalifa, Tom Gist, Posta Boy, Neako, Joell Ortiz, Dox Diggla, Chino XL and many others.
