STATE YOUR NAME CANNON: B{Dot} Jay

Every artist tries to be different in this genre. Some do succeed. And there's a few who goes out to left field. I noticed this homie on myspace first, and his tracks were of a different sound. (You can tell off the back this dude from VA). He made himself his own musical world and warps anyone near orbit. Then you trapped in a spell with hypnotic beats and storytelling lyrics. No, his mixtape Diamond, Dunks and Backpacks did not make my top 10 list of 2009...It made 11. Only cause he needs to evolve into supersayian. Hailing out of VA, B{Dot}Jay
