Latest huge hit produced by Jhawk 'CatDaddy' is on 106 & Park!!!!!. Please vote by texting "Rej" to 7992 to make it number #1. I've met many different people since I moved to LA from Maryland But the one person that will always stand out because of his strong character and huge heart has to be Mr.Jhawk. He is extremely smart and dedicated to his music to the fullest. I admired that about him. Just the other day I met with him and realized he hadn't gone to the barber in weeks because he was so busy in the studio lol. He was rocking the "studio afro". This "little" big man is gonna do even greater things in the music business. He already helped build the huge Jerk movement with his amazing creative beats. Most known as for making YT AND Jinx "Tippin on my d", YG "P. killer" and Pink Dollaz "Dont need no" ....He is an amazing role model for people who are younger or even older than him. He sets goals and foll...

As far as influence in personal life all 5 of my bro's & sis' play the biggest part in my life..Industry wise.. in the music/social life would be Lupe Fiasco, Nas, the late Huey P.Newton, MLK and anyone that believes in sharing knowledge to the young. 3.

It was a Wonderful pleasure to speak to someone so successful but yet so humble in the music Industry like Lamar Edwards aka Mars. He is a producer who is very passionate about his art. He grew up in Lancaster,Ca in a family with many musicians. He has a very strong upper hand on other producers now days because he is Handsome with a beautiful smile lol but mainly he is very versatile in his sounds. Right After high school Mars continued producing music and came together with the Band 1500 or Nothin with Larrance, Bam, Brody Brown, and Uncle Chucc. lol it was funny to me how they came up with the name 1500 or Nothin. Every time they would perform on stage they wouldn't accept nothing less than $1500. So they would always say "1500 or Nothin" and people started knowing them by that. Young as he is, Mars has worked with some of the biggest names in the game right now like TI, Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, Snoop Dog, Game, Mary Mary, and so many more. For the Ladies who don't...
