DSB: BankRoll Jonez! Where did that name come from or
what does it mean?
BRJ: That’s my real name, it’s on my birth certificate and you
spell the Jonez with a Z, baby.
DSB: Southern flow with a Midwest swagger, that’s a cold
combo right there. Is that what you consider you style?
BRJ: Yes.
DSB: Do you consider yourself a South artist or Midwest?
BRJ: I’m Southern/Cross-country
DSB: Before going solo, you and your fam was out there
doing it big. Do you have any future projects coming out?
BRJ: My current project "Skroll Muzik", my group Get Money
Movement (G.M.M.) project, and my next solo project “Paper
In My Pocket”.
DSB: So you guys were out there really working out the
trunk at Gramblin University, how was that experience?
BRJ: It was educational. That’s when I really learned the
independent side of the game.
DSB: How did you hook up with the late great PIMP C and
the UGK fam?
BRJ: I was just trying to get a verse when he first got home.
But it was impossible. Then I thought, "Wait, I'm a street cat
and he's a famous street cat." So, I called another famous
street cat, Pimpin Ken. Ken introduced us. After we did the
song he invited me to Los Angeles for the "I Choose You"
what does it mean?
