Interview by: Martin Bauman One of the best things about Canada's hip-hop landscape is the sheer diversity of artists within its broad reaches. In a reflection of our multicultural country, the Canadian hip-hop scene features unique sounds from East to West Coast, and everywhere in between. One such example is Toronto-born
Miles Jones. Blending futuristic beats inspired by dance and house, and infused with an ever-present boom bap quality, Jones has crafted a unique sound that reflects his musically diverse upbringing in a household with his father, Hedley Jones Jr., a longtime radio and club deejay. Most recently, Jones' efforts have culminated in the release of
The Jones Act (Part III), a 12-track album released on his own label, Mojo Records and Publishing. On top of that, in an equally unique endeavour, Jones has been collaborating with illustrator Ben Roboly to create comic book issues based on the songs from the album. The Come Up Show caught up with Miles Jones to discuss
The Jones Act (Part III), the key to success in the Canadian rap industry, making comic books, and much more.
