Jay Mumford podcast interview on The Upful Life Podcast. In this podcast interview, the Du-Rites’ Jay Mumford, formerly known as the producer/emcee J-Zone, reveals how he has worn many hats throughout his career—rapper, beat-maker, DJ, author/journalist, and finally drummer. You’ll learn how J-Zone developed an underground rap following during the early 2000s indie hip-hop explosion. As he got older, Mumford grew increasingly jaded with the rap industry, before bottoming out. Sitting on the throne of a drum set, Jay would rediscover his passion for the funk music that first inspired him as a teenager. The major transition began to take shape in 2011, when J-Zone attempted to quit rap, write a hip-hop memoir, and start over as “Jay Mumford on drums” in his mid-30’s. An unlikely story, but one definitively his own. Listen to the podcast – the interview starts at 13:20…
