The rapper, Kent Jones, was born on April 14, 1993, in Tallahassee, Florida. He was really young when he was introduced to music by his family. Before beginning to take formal music lessons, he learned to play drums from his aunt, during which he learned to play the piano and the Hammond organ, and studied music theory. He started to develop an interest in jazz music later on.
Jones later relocated to Miami, Florida, and began working with Cool & Dre, record producers and songwriters. He then signed a record deal with their Epidemic Records label and got to work with Fat Joe, The Game, Currensy, Queen Latifah, and Busta Rhymes, among others. In 2015, Cool & Dre introduced him to DJ Khaled, who eventually signed him to his own label, We the Best Music Group and Epic Records, in a joint venture record agreement.
“Tours”Tours. Don’t Mind”Don’t Mind” The song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 63 and has peaked at No. 8 on the chart so far.
The track almost didn’t make the cut on the mixtape, it turns out. On the mixtape, it almost didn’t even make it. Yeah, I received the tracklisting from the guy who does my artwork, and then Dre and Khaled gave me the tracklisting and there wasn’t the track. So I hit Dre and asked him what was going on. It was that song and another song. Really, the other song didn’t make it, but there was something we had done sonically. So Nice mixed the whole song and another song down.
“I’m gonna be real with you. When I made it, I thought it was a good song with good rhythm. I was saying some stuff. It wasn’t until I took the record up to Orlando. My brother at 104.5 DJ D-Strong was taking a listen to some records and he came across that one. D-Strong told me it was a hit. But I enjoyed making it. The day I made it, because I made the beat and everything in one day, it was before I went on the road. At one point I was like, you know maybe the people will respond to it differently. Now did I expect it to go as crazy as its going? Of course not.”I’m going to be real with you, why he insisted to have the song on the record. I thought it was a good song with a good rhythm when I made it, I thought it was a good song. I was saying some things. It wasn’t until I took the record up to Orlando. My brother was listening to some records at 104.5 DJ D-Strong and he came across that one. D-Strong told me it was a hit. But I enjoyed making it. The day I made it, be it.
