Playing with the Good Ol’ Boyz

DEMUN JONES has always had a way of keeping it real when it comes to the music he has written, recorded and performed throughout his career, but, that said, JONES COUNTY might well be the most genuine collection of songs that represents who the Georgia native is and certainly illustrates the place where he’s lived his entire life.
Asked how the songs for his forthcoming solo project came about, Demun said, “I went out in my front yard and imagined what are they doing? What are they thinking? What are they going to do? What do I see?”

Life in Jones County, which is just north of Macon, is southern and some, including the Jones family, will say they’re rednecks. They drive trucks. They fish and hunt. They like keeping things simple—sort of a what-you-see is what-you-get type of place. All the same, Jones County is what you hear and Demun is hoping people who are from there will respect and love his latest collection of 12 songs, while people who aren’t from around those parts will be “captivated by it and want to listen to it.”

Demun – a nickname he earned at a young age because he was aggressive and energetic – was 10 years old when he was transfixed by the immergence of N.W.A. and how they represented their own hometown. He’s never forgotten how that seminal album affected a southern boy down in Georgia. He’s always wanted to do the same for Jones County.

The Good Ol’ Boyz are RonnyRon the Outlaw, Kali J Wild, and Remington, a trio from Northern California. Combining gritty, hard-hitting, West Coast hip-hop with Outlaw Country and Rock influences, GOB has created a style all their own. Their music explores the life of an outlaw living in the California country. Fans of the Boyz range from 15 to 60 years old and come from all walks of life.

Their hit single “Country to the City” breaks new ground in the Country-Hip Hop sub-culture. With help from legendary recording artist Bubba Sparxxx and Sacramento’s own JG MadeUmLook, the track explores the unknown lifestyle of a California country outlaw, alongside West Coast city life. Filmed by Director Jae Synth in rural Placerville, Ca & outside Omina Labs in Downtown Sacramento, CA.

Good Ol’ Boyz released their debut album “Country Fried Pimpin’” in June 2011, produced independently in DJ Loot’s studio.

The Good Ol’ Boyz started making music for kicks in 2009, began to see themselves as a serious group in response to demand for their unique sound, and continue to evolve, staying on the frontlines of hip-hop.
