Many know Sunspot Jonz as a founding member of heralded Cali crew Living Legends, alongside Murs, Luckyiam, The Grouch, Scarub, Eligh, Aesop and Bicasso. Otehrs know him as BFAP of underground duo Mystik Journeyman. Still others know him as the solo artists responsible for a flood of CDs, including the awesome No Guts No Glory and the recent Never Surrender. But one thing all fans know about East Oakland’s Sunspot Jonz is that he can freestyle.
So Freestyle 101 was happy as hell to get this true living legend in the booth a The Engine Room in Hollywood to spit some off the top rhymes over a Messiaz beat and chat about growing up in the Cali underground, doing Top Ramen tours, sellin’ CDs at record stores back in the day for bus fare, and generally living and breaking hip hop. Make sure to check out his upcoming house-hop project The Temper Twins, as well as upcoming solo efforts Fight Destroy Rock Volumes 1 & 2.
