Jamin (jaw-min) and J-Dubber have been involved in music since a young age, growing up around jazz musicians, vocalists, and producers. They have been performing individually for over ten years. At the end of 2005 Jamin and J-Dubber collaborated to form the rap group, Organized Grind, inspired by all the negativity that is currently swamping the industry and radio. Their goal is to bring back the true power, and message of the spoken word through rap music. They rely heavily on sample-free, live instrumentation, and messages that the everyday person can relate to. Everything from relationships to "street life"; from politics, to religion; from desperation to inspiration. The end product is a mixture of hip-hop's roots of being a "protest music" (Run- DMC, N.W.A., KRS-1, Rakim, Tupac, NaS, and Scarface), "old School" funk (Parliament, Funkedlic, James Brown), and today's hip-hop's lyrical delivery, and production style (E-40, Johnny Jackson, Dr.Dre, Lil' John). Organized Grind also has aspirations of showing the youth, that production is a lot more involved than sampling a record; and rapping is a lot more involved than talking about possessions, and situations that lie in the world of fiction. "In another words, money isn't the only reason we in this game…we trying to make a change in the game, a positive impact, to continue the rich tradition of music…" Jamin said in a recent interview. Their debut album, "Grind Pays" was released on May 8th 2007, and has already done quite well locally, and through Burn Lounge. It has received positive reviews from local press, and online services, as well as from the nationally distributed magazine "Gutta World". Where in the next issue there will be a feature article on Organized Grind. Negotiations are also under way to give Organized Grind the cover of their fourth quarter issue.
