If there was one man who could speak for the true hustlers of the world, he would have to have enough wisdom, knowledge and understanding in the game of life to reach players on every level. He’d be a self-made individual who turned nothing into something several times over. That such person is the internationally known BankRoll Jonez. Considered the modern day Curtis Mayfield of the streets, powerful music displaying the horror while capturing the beauty of the street life from all aspects.
Putting down raps just as hard as his poetic pimp hand, BankRoll has self-distributed eight (yes, eight) independent albums from Maine to Spain. And he continues to lay down hard-learned life lessons of paper chasing with the release of his game-tight ninth and biggest effort to date Skroll Muzik.
Fueled by fierce Pimp C-assisted lead single “Pedigree,” he lets you know his direct bloodline of true-to-life go-getters. Already he has the Third Coast underground jumping to his slick flows and gritty, bubbling production. And that’s just the first chapter. With an album lineup featuring Pimpin Ken, Bishop Don Magic Juan, Too $hort, Buffie The Body and famed Rap-A-Lot-affiliated beatsmith Corey Moe, this is some certified street knowledge that you bank on.
“I preach the gospel of economic empowerment. I’m giving guidance and rules that people can abide by,” BankRoll sermonizes. “We have a responsibility to reach out to youngsters in the game and show them how to work smarter, not harder, and you’ll be blessed for that.”
Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, Bankroll’s mother moved the family from Charlotte to Memphis to Chicago- all by the age of 13. Throughout his high school years, the intoxicating fast track of the Windy City’s sinister south side sucked him in like a black hole as he got a taste of fast money.
Luckily leaving the streets unscathed, he headed down south to Grambling State University in Louisiana after high school. With hustling still in his heart, Mr. Jones wanted to get paid in this new college environment.
“I was looking for something that I can sell like drugs that was legal,” Bankroll remembers. “I wanted to be able to stand on the corner and sell my product and not be indicted.”
He had already maximized his potential for getting money back at home. So he was able to incorporate his experiences into art like a present day Donald Goines or Iceberg Slim. He started rap group Ghetto Family with his cousin and brother. Together, they sold more than 10,000 copies of their joint project Money Hungry to the student body. He hit them again in 1999 with Porno Starz Soundtrack and every year following, BankRoll would drop CDs one after another.
He left school shortly after the his first indie release and hit the road to push his product from state to state. He hopped over to California back to Memphis and then to Milwaukee.
“This is how I eat,” he breaks down the game. “I spend .75 a copy for CDs, sell them for $10 a piece, and pocket $9.25. I sell at least 50 to 60 CDs per day, seven days a week and 365 days a year. You do the math; that’s why they call me Bankroll Jonez. It’s all legal. Get money or get moving.”
Bankroll made his way to Houston in June 2007 to record a song with Pimp C of UGK. But he never left because he got so much love from the UGK legend, the city of H-town and the South Coast as a whole. Since, he bonded strong alliances with local celebrities like 104.9 radio personality Mean Green and Rap-A-Lot artist Trae, with whom he recorded his follow-up single “All My Life.”
BankRoll has found a home with his biggest bang to date- Skroll Muzik. Peep game on “Pimpin’ Pay Good,” where the flamboyant fellow puts you up on game about getting money on the track. On “Watch Me Do It” featuring newest UGK Records’ newest artist XVII (Seventeen) and Corey Moe on production with a soulful hook, BankRoll shows the benefits of his hard work.
“I’m give you some news you can use,” he says. “While all of these broke rappers talking the blues, tune in to me. I make game orienfested music, not game oriented but game orienfested music.” Finally music you can use.
