With their music revealing an essence of their soul, every artist tells a story. Capturing this essence on the beat and translating that into a feeling thru mixology, Jamad is a reflection of the music he enjoys. While many today bend values in pursuit of the dollar, DJ Jamad’s personal mission is to pass the baton from past to future generations of artists in hopes that they learn to appreciate the foundation of their music. It’s important to Jamad to maintain the connection with music history while ensuring that it continues to evolve. Blending old with new is what DJ Jamad does best, mixing classic and modern R&B, Soul, and Hip-Hop. What sets Jamad apart from other DJ’s is his creative ideology and persistence to create a sound with longevity and without compromise. .... Since the year 2000, Jamad’s Afromentals Mixtape Series has been attracting masses of loyal listeners seeking an alternative to mainstream Hip-Hop and R&B. Only on Afromentals can you find Slum Village, Loose Ends, Jill Scott, Al B. Sure, Schoolz of Thought, Gangstarr, Marvin Gaye, Brandy, and Steely Dan, all on the same mixtape. As if consistently banging out mix after mix for Afromentals wasn’t enough, DJ Jamad has also produced several other albums and mixtapes including Outskirts: The Unofficial Lost Outkast Remixes, AFROMATIC, and The Red Clay Experiment. Afromentals have also served as a platform to cross-promote photographers, illustrators, boutiques, and other artists and producers such as Nicolay, DJ Wreckineyez, Supa Dave West, Floyd The Locsmif, Miles Bonny, Amanda Diva, and Tiffany Paige. .... DJ Jamad produced 236 episodes of the “Afromentals Mixshow”, a long-standing weekly radio show which aired on Sunday nights from 8pm until 10pm EST on Sirius Satellite Radio’s Hip Hop Nation (Sirius 40/XM 67). Periodically, he presented Operation Hot Combs (OHC), a one-hour “guest takeover” that aired during the show. These special segments allowed artists, producers, and DJs an opportunity to guest host and promote their individual projects and talents while giving listeners a candid view of the featured entertainers and their personal musical interests. Along with over 4 years at Sirius, Jamad was also a featured guest DJ on BBC Radio’s 1xtra while touring Europe. ....

    Have a LAUGH TODAY Dj!
     
    A Lawyer in a Mousetrap

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT LAWYERS ...

    How do you get a lawyer down from a tree?  Easy - just cut the rope."

    "It was so cold last week that I saw a couple of lawyers with their hands in their OWN pockets."

    "How was copper wire invented?  Two lawyers got hold of a penny at the same time."

    "How many lawyers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?  How many can you afford?"

    "The two partners in a law firm were having lunch when suddenly one of them jumped up and said, "I have to go back to the office - I forgot to lock the safe!" The other partner replied, "What are you worried about? WE'RE BOTH HERE."

    "How does a lawyer go to sleep at night?  Easy - first he LIES on one side, then he LIES on the other."

    LAUGHTER IS THE SPICE OF LIFE!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Richard

    Happy FRIDAY Dj!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT HAPPINESS ...

    "When I was in grade school, they told me to write down what I wanted to be WHEN I GREW UP.

    I wrote down "HAPPY".

    They told me I didn't UNDERSTAND THE ASSIGNMENT.

    I told them they didn't UNDERSTAND LIFE."

    THE GREATEST HAPPINESS IN LIFE IS TO LOVE

    AND TO BE LOVED IN RETURN!

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT LEADERSHIP ...

    "Never tell people HOW to do things. Tell them WHAT

    to do and they will SURPRISE YOU WITH THEIR INGENUITY."

    ~ George Patton

    LEADERSHIP IS UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE AND INVOLVING THEM TO HELP YOU DO A JOB.  IT IS AMAZING HOW MUCH GETS DONE WHEN YOU DON'T CARE WHO GETS THE CREDIT!

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT HAPPINESS ...

    "Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I — NOT EVENTS — have the power to MAKE ME HAPPY OR UNHAPPY TODAY. I can CHOOSE which it shall be.

    Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just ONE DAY, TODAY, and I'M GOING TO BE HAPPY IN IT."

     ~ Groucho Marx

MESSAGE FROM DJ JAMAD


Hello,

Welcome to the world of Afromentals! As a DJ/Producer, I'm dedicated to breaking artists and introducing new music to those with sophisticated ears. I'm a true fan of the arts as a whole.

To many, music is an outward expression but also a personal reflection of who we are. My appreciation and respect for musicians is how I like to represent as a DJ. I have a strong sense of value in the culture.

Ultimately, Funky bass rhythms from any genre of music is what I love most! Vibes that will raise the hair on the skin that provoke emotion. Okay, I admit that I am addicted to MUSIC!!! With that being said, I invite you to listen to me weekly on the various outlets via the internet.
