A Native of Northern VA, J Laine is making his mark as a music mogul. He has performed with artists including Aretha Franklin, El DeBarge, Erykah Badu, Common, Steve Coleman, Meshell N'Degeocello, Dwele, Louie Bellson, Charlie Byrd, Fred Wesley, Frank Wess, Jimmy Heath, Yusef Lateef and was the drummer for OMAR's "Sing...if you want it" national tour. When J's all around favorite beat maker and dj J Dilla passed, he found several ways to coordinate tributes including the J DILLA memorial concert of which he is music director. The Concert features performances by Felton, Raheem DeVaughn, Wayna, Grap Luva, DJ Roddy Rod, Asheru, Cy Young and other local acts. The first concert featured Dilla's premier group Slum Village as the headliner. APPLE JONS is a 32 track instrumental album created in the style of "Donuts" and has been acclaimed by top producers and djs in the nation. Releasing advanced copies last year at his release party, J received a call from Tastefullicks records to re-release it under the label this summer. Currently working on a 26 city tour, JLaine is also working on completing his 2nd LP tentatively titled “to live and die in va” due out this fall. 1 indie nation podcast Featuring JLaine Fast Laine Cuts episode 10 Track listing • Intro • Hero- produced by JLaine • Ice Cream- produced by JLaine, from “Virginia 500-Beats Vol. 3 & 4” • I Luv, U Luv- produced by JLaine, from “APPLE JONS” tastefullicks records 2007 • L.A.
