Many young up an coming artist music is easily influenced by radio. So many kids came out rapping like Wiz once Black & Yellow became the number one song in the country. This isn’t a problem you’ll find in Ryshon Jones music, actually its the exact opposite. With each song or mixtape released, nothing really screams top 40 hit or generic, but XXL was impressed enough to feature him in their magazine. This 20 year old Philadelphian creativity is what will keep him relevant and that’s what artist should take from him more than anything. BE CREATIVE! After the jump you’ll see me & Ryshon discuss Brightest, Night/Darkest Days, ideal women, success to him, and much much more.
