Canton Jones has been a big-time force within the Holy Hip Hop movement and yet has seemingly been in the background for far too long. Having written, produced for, and collaborated with artists such as Lil' iROCC and Mr. Del, the head of Cajo Entertainment is now launching his national debut on Arrow Records.
The follow-up to the underground classic 20 Yrs. 3 Mths. & 12 Days is The Password, which has has CJ picking up where the initial release left off, and then travel to a totally different musical stratosphere.
Jones offers 15 tracks that range from ballads to funky R&P to a virtual crunkfest, and is guaranteed to keep your attention throughout the entire CD. Fantastic as a songwriter and with the ability to fuse slammin' beats with meaningful and prolific lyrics that relate candidly to the heart of the Christian experience, CJ is the real thing.
"Stay Saved" is a bonafide smash hit that identifies numerous situations that test a believer's ability to do the right thing. From impatient people to road rage to poor customer service, Jones provides an honest account of very real situations that challenge a believer's love, and then offers encouragement to simply "stay saved". Its a classic that could quickly become the theme song for 2005.
