The song "Bloody Sunday" is actually 7 minutes long. I had to post the short version due to myspace restrictions. You can listen to the song in it's entirety and download it for free (yes, for free!) at
"Bloody Sunday" is inspired by what is happening in our reality in today's world. It seems that hip hop artists and hip hop itself are becoming more and more trapped inside a box. Any heavy and "real" subject matters have almost become "taboo" to talk about in songs. I made this song as a reflection of what is occuring to us, as a generation, and it will hopefully empower others to touch on issues beyond money, cars, sex, etc., especially at a time when so much more needs to be heard and discussed. My main motivation is for the song the be heard and I am offering it as a free download to all. All that I ask is if you enjoy or believe in the song, please share it with others. Let our voices be heard!
"Bloody Sunday" can be listened to and downloaded for free here:

I am the definition of an independent, starving artist. If you love the music, by no means should you hesitate to click on the Itunes or cdbaby icons below and purchase it for keeps. All the money contributes to and is a necessary force in helping me make more music =). Also, I am looking to travel a lot this year so should you want me to come through to a stage near you, look right on the left side of the screen and "demand it" so I can plan out what the best places are to attempt to "mini-tour" Thanks a bunch!!
P.S. if you like the newest song I just posted entitled "Don't Cry Tonight," it's actually 8 minutes long with another whole verse and 2 crucial breakdowns at the end. Due to myspace size restrictions I had to post a shortened version. However, the full version can be yours for just 99 cents off of ITunes. Yes that's right, just 99 cents for 8 minutes of music. Enjoy!
"Ashes of Another Life," the new album by Jade Fox is available for download at
In a hip-hop game dominated by male rappers, comes a refreshing new sound and look in the form of 25 year old hip hop artist, Jade Fox. The female mc, who is of Black and Asian heritage, proves that intense lyrics and crazy flows aren't only for the guys. Combining the skills of a lyricist, mc, and a poet, Ms. Fox is able to transform beats into thought provoking masterpieces. Describing herself as "that underground female with commercial appeal," Jade Fox shows it is possible to create entertaining music with substance, a combination not often heard in today's pop driven market.
Blending hip hop with elements of poetry, R&B, and rock, great range is shown by the female mc through songs touching on serious aspects of living life to battle rhymes for all who doubt her. A wide range of influences which include Bob Marley, Tupac Shakur, Lauryn Hill, Led Zeppelin, and Jimi Hendrix have provided a foundation for Jade Fox to create a refreshing and universal sound that is hard to place in a box. Immediately evident through her songs on the new album Ashes of Another Life, is the evolution of Jade Fox as an artist. Combining hard hitting and diverse hip hop beats, produced by 2 Minds 1 Soul Productions, and live instrumentation from musician/engineer Chris Bentley, Jade eloquently spits universally appealing rhymes through a variety of flows. The album also features singing from Baltimore artist Eva Castillo. Jade Fox is generating a dedicated following with her intense and highly energetic live shows that captivate the audience whether it is just her and a hypeman on stage or performing with her band. With her music speaking for itself as an honest form of self-expression that is entertaining and related to by many, Jade Fox is poised to become one of the top artists of hip hop.

"Diversity is one of the pillars that hip hop has always stood on.
Whether it be variations in style, speak, or ethnicity, the music
manages to transcend it all, not only shrugging off the countless
juxtapositions but welcoming them with open arms. This disc is a great
example, showcasing a multi-racial female MC who is brimming over with
verses and concepts, patiently chomping at the bit to break it all
down for you. Fittingly, she does so with force and intelligence,
flaunting a confidence that can't be faked or fronted on. "With every
verse I drop, I live beyond the grave," she spits on the album's
opener, setting a standard for the fearless flows that follow. Making
it clear that her gender is secondary to the fact that she is an
accomplished lyricist, the tracks focus wisely on real life
experience, picking a channel of contention and speaking volumes
inside of 16 bars. While most of the tracks maintain stark intensity
that almost boils over, songs like "Just Wanna Be" focus on a softer
side, lending to her credibility as a versatile artist and someone who
is ready to earn the respect she deserves." - CD baby .
