In my attempt to escape the uncreative genre I once held near and dear to my heart, it is my goal to put you all on to other music artists who are doing their thing in a very unique way. Blogging homie Jacky Jasper over at Diaryofahollywoodstreetking.com, I’ve learned is a budding musician with a passion for rock music.
After winning his first Grammy with Ike Turner for Blues Album Of The Year Jacky began work on his next record. His last release 7th Veil came with an all-star cast. Recorded 5yrs ago with the last recordings of the Punk Funk legend RICK JAMES, the last recordings of his blues mentor Ike Turner, as well as tracks featuring Snoop Dog, Jewel, Kurupt, Roscoe, Kool Keith, Ice-T, Coco, Silk Tha Shocker, and Flava Flav. It’s truly a classical piece of work. 7th Veil album titled Stoned was released in late October 2008.
Jacky knew his next recording could not be the traditional hip hop sound. He didn’t rush to get back into the studio and went back to the years of listening to every genre he could get his hands on and studied where everyone was coming from. Jasper was armed with a new appreciation for music but by the time he was ready for the studio again, Hip Hop had died! Jacky saw that the whole game was about to change so he beat ‘em to the chase.
He turned to internet and pimped New Media like the thousands of girls he sent to the silver screen. He launched “DiaryofaHollywoodStreetKing.com and created a platform to preach this unique view of the world and connect directly with the people on the streets.
His new song “Rosemary’s Baby” off his new all rock inspired project was just sent over to me to publish to the people. Have a listen:

Deep Fried Memories featuring Jacky Jasper is living the Jimi Hendrix Experience, with its all white band surrounding Jacky. DFM is undoubtedly pushing the envelope with controversial tracks like “Die Nigga Die.” The album as a whole gives a cinematic experience with its 13 songs, and several skits connecting the tracks – the material will definitely set the teenager apart from his or her parents, at the very least.
The starting point leading to the formation of DFM, ignited during the time Jacky spent with legendary blues artist, Ike Turner. Their friendship developed from the months of Ike mentoring Jacky in blues, and passing the torch…so to speak. Just before Ike’s death, Jacky promised Ike that his next album would be a set of Rock N’ Roll recordings.
Keeping true to that promise, Jacky decided to take music back to where it all started – with a band. Jacky also included the programmer as a member of the band (since technology is now considered to be an instrument). DFM’s lyrical content is Blues-inspired, but the music itself is like no other…Metal fused with Hip/Hop, Rock and Blues. Jacky chose to name the DFM album “November 5th” – a title that honors the Late Great Ike Turner, for it was the day he was born. The project proved to be an expensive one, but you can’t put a price on good art.
Critics who’ve heard the album are pointing to Jacky one of the most creative rap artists to make the transition to rock. If you don’t believe me, check out “Deep Fried Memories featuring Jacky Jasper” for yourself, and be the judge…
