"Ay Jim...u know them old sugar daddies...they be trickin' when they tell them girls;" in case you didn't know, T.I. was referring to super producer Jim Jonsin. I remember the day I met Jim when I was interning at Slip-N-Slide in Miami. He was bubbling with Trick Daddy's "Let's Go," and working with Big D as the "Unusual Suspects."
Like many people not in the industry, I had no idea who he was. His image is definitely the rocker type, so it came to no surprise when he blew up and signed a label deal with Atlantic, he named it Rebel Rock. "Whatever you like" and "Let's Go" are only two of a long list of HIT records this fellow gemini has produced. I was around to see him blow up Miami's "Pretty Ricky" with the hit "Grind on Me." That whole Bluestars album was a smash, and it just so happened Jim held most of the production credits.
You didn't think he was chillin in Lil' Wayne's "Lollipop" video for no reason, right? More recently, he placed the 3 records "Radio, " "Sweet Dreams," and "Save the Hero," on Beyonce's new album!!
His feature artist on Rebel Rock, B.O.B, is bubbling as well with an LRG endorsement that you can't miss in Time's Square, and a feature with Ludacris on T.I's "Paper Trail." It has indeed been a great year for Jim Jonsin and his team.
Well the point of all this is to let you know, that eventhough I've known how talented Jim was, I'm always surprised to learn about other songs he has produced. So, I jacked this graphic from his myspace just to show you all what else he has produced, so you too can say, "Damn, I didn't know he did THAT!!"
(You may have to squint to read this..lol..sorry!)
