Itās a great vibe when Jersey Club comes together. A lot of Jerseyās beef is deeply within the producers themselves, and I say that because when everyone is together, nothing that was said, agreed with, or argued over via social media is engaged in. If people took the time to focus on the production and progression of themselves, for themselves, and or the culture, it would be a lot easier to work with one another.
Itās been a minute since I attended any Jersey event for specific reasons undisclosed, however just getting together with a few faces you used to attend parties with, talk to on clubhouse, and see on facetime was absolutely amazing. Youād be surprised at how amazing you guys are up close, yet pride runs too deep, everybody has something to prove, and thatās why somebody always has something to say about Jersey. Seeing a lot of lastnight in such a little area made me happy. Itās what Iām used to, iām used to seeing each other gassed off of other peopleās sets and songs, and not just spinning their own, or favorite hits. Itās not right, and itās not the Jersey love. It seems like everyone is branching away from eachother or worried about all the wrong things. How do we expect to contine to have a spot for Jersey on the map as club music evolves deeply into the industry with artist like Bad Bunny, Coi Leray, just to name two. I named these people because, people never forget where they came from. Sometimes itās not just clout chasinā, Coi had her own clout, it is arguable that she pushed Jersey Club harder with DJ Smallz remix to āGirls is playas too,ā & 809ās remix to āBig Purrā.
Itās things like that, that matter the most. People get big, sign a contract, and you donāt even notice you sold your whole life away. That same person that taught you to produce, is no longer producing. Not because of the respect not given, but you were expected to keep the culture going instead of branching away from those who you claimed āHelped you,ā or you helped. Itās so crazy because Iāve personally watched people walk the streets as a regular person, as soon as a song hits many streams, and tik toks, and verified artist start to come into play, that person has now changed. Instead of saying āHey, I know you like this hit, check this out made by such n such.ā Granted, itās not just our personal fault, itās the person itās self. You have to be willing to eat, closed mouths donāt get fed. Itās sad to see people turn against eachother, but when weāre together, not arguing, standing as one, pictures, parties, moments like those donāt last forever. When we lost our most recent Jersey Club Legend, Tim Dolla ššļø, everyone started to some what see āWe need to get our sht together,ā and although it may have been what he may have wanted, for the culture to come together and claim themselves, it shouldnāt have taken for something so tragic to happen, in order to find a line of peace. Everybody is so worried about who made what first, when to be honest, Iāve heard thousands of mixes to Ice spiceās āBoyās a liar,ā so what. Although I do tell a lot of producers whatever you have in mind as far as a song, get it done, whatchu waiting for? When speaking with the legend Mike V himself, we had the same idea in mind, mind your business, and focus on yourself for our title to be taken back from the industry. You guys boast about Jerseyclub so much āI made that drop,ā what about those who didnāt have drops that paved the way? What about those who silently grasped the concept that they loved eachotherās music, and united, not for a name, but to change the game? Itās WORK put into Jerseyclub. A lot of the newer generations are just dropping things to be noticed, and not with a passion. We can tell when your bpm was a tad bit high.
Nevertheless, when I proposed the question āIf you had to thank one person in Jersey club, who would it be?ā Iāve gotten valuable responses such as Bleszt, who is still in tune, just in his own aspect. Iāve heard thanks to Dougie F- Just back up on it. That was on šÆ in the headphones.š„ right down to not just thanking Jersey, but Rye Rye. Started at a VERY young age with Blaqstarr. Look at what the industry has taken over, however āThey canāt take over the industry if we are all together.ā JerseyClub producer battles brought us closer. We united, āThat song hard,ā networking, and sending zips on the side to one another. You had people like Tim, Tameil, Mike V, Dru, actually advocating for the younger generation. There is always something people can work on, and if you canāt take constructive criticism, you might as well buckle up because people walked miles to get to where they are today.
