Tim Jonz In Da Buildin [2022] The Year Of TJIB [Self Released] (Full EP)

Tom Jonz aka Tim Jonz in da Buildin is musician/drummer/producer Tim Jones from Chicago. His five track EP "The Year Of TJIB" was released on Bandcamp on 18 Jan 2022, but priced at $12 for only five tracks it may perhaps be considered rather pricey!

The track that first pricked my ears up on this EP was the unmistakable voice of Aretha Franklin who's 1980 track "Take Me With You" (from "Aretha" and B side to "United Together") is sampled on track 3 "Basica Simpson". 

He then samples The Dramatics "Hey You! Get Off That Mountain" (I originally had a brain blip and called it as The Montclair Hey You! Don't Fight It!)

Whilst "Smoove" Rockwell Hallman Feat. Shamyra appears to be an original, I thought I recognised something in it, and it is only at the end it is revealed i.e. Bobby Womack's "Woman's Gotta Have It" from 1972.

The opening track ("(L)ove (O)f (M)y (O)wn") samples Eric Benet's "Love Of My Own" from his sophomore album "A Day In The Life" (1999) and the second track ("Loop Your Energy") samples Ledisi "Same Love" from her last studio album "Wild Card" (2020).

Whilst we are here I looked into Rockwell Hallman and found a nice track he co-wrote with Tim L Shider in 2019 "Never Thought I'd Find Love" (posted below). Tim L Shider is the younger brother of Garry Shider of Parliament/Funkadelic who is currently writing and producing for 'The Queen of Philadelphia' Tanqueray Hayward who's latest single "Complicated (The Realm Remix)" was released yesterday. He released another two singles in 2020, one with Tim Jones "Promise", and "Please Don't Go". Someone to watch out for!
