I really don’t know for sure if he’s a snitch or not (how would I?), but he’s still definitely an MC without a doubt.

Inside The BOX.: Donell Jones
by Samantha Luck
Longing for the sultry, sensual R&B sounds of love, romance, courtship, and love-making? Fifteen years in, Donell Jones still has the remedy. Since his debut album, Heart, where he gave us the hit cover of Stevie Wonder’s ballad “Knocks Me Off My Feet,†to now with Lyrics, Jones shows us that good, honest, sexy music can never fade especially when it’s done on his terms.
I caught up with him after his Park Unplugged performance sponsored by The Park at Fourteenth and Beny Blaq Entertainment and here’s what he had to say.
Check out more after the jump.
Samantha Luck: Now that you aren’t with Jive, you are now with E1?
Donell Jones: E1 is my distributor and I’m on my own label, which is Candyman Music. [Lyrics] is my first album that I’ve put out on my own label. It’s been about four or five years.
It’s beautiful. It’s a hell of a lot more work, ya know, but it’s beautiful. One of the things I wanted to do in my career is have some ownership in what I make. And the other records that I’ve made, I don’t own them. I mean they’re my records, but I don’t have an ownership in those records. Moving forward…when guys write movies, they own those movies; so when I write a record, I want to own it.
What are your favorite songs to perform from this album?
“Love Like This,†and then “Just a Little†is one my favorites as well.
Since you’re Mr. R&B, what’s the most romantic thing you’ve ever done?
You know, the song “Do You Wanna†was actually something that I did. Run bathwater, rose petals, the glass of wine–just have it set up before she gets home. I’m not gonna say that I’m super romantic but, sometimes I like to do things like that, just to throw her off. I’m a Gemini, so it’s hard to figure me out so, you know, I like to do small things just to keep the relationship spicy.

We were lucky enough to catch up with the one and only Philly Freezer during his Indie Life Series tour stop at U Street Music Hall. Shoutout to Candace Nicole, SnCity & The Indie Life Series.
Inside The BOX.: DMV Followers
These dudes are taking over the city one Twitter follower at a time, point blank (and you know you’re doing something right when you catch Wale’s attention). Luckily, JukeBOX was able to catch up with them at the Stop The HIViolence: Interstate I95 tryouts (of which I believe they were judges) to talk to them briefly about the moves they have been making in the city and surrounding areas (not to mention down in Georgia as well). Take heed…this is how you grind.
